    👋 Hi!
    We are a family of 5 looking for our future au pair — someone kind, curious and caring, who would love to share a part of our daily life with us 🌿
    At home, there are:
    👦 a 2-year-old little boy, full of energy and discoveries
    👧 a 12-year-old girl
    👧 a 10-year-old girl
    Safe to say, life is never boring here!
    We live in Saint-Renan, a pleasant and lively town, 20 minutes from Brest and 20 minutes from the sea 🚲🌊
    Our house is big and cozy, located in a quiet neighborhood. The bus station is 1 km away, making it easy to get around.
    We also have a large garden, fruit trees, a vegetable garden (500 m away), and a very cool cat 🐱
    About the parents:
    I am a jewelry designer, often in creative mode at home
    My husband is a project manager in a carpentry company
    We enjoy a simple, joyful and friendly lifestyle.
    At home, we love:
    🌱 nature and gardening
    🎲 board games
    🎨 creative activities
    🏃‍♀️ sports and walks
    🍰 cooking together
    🥕 eating lots of fruits and vegetables (we are vegetarian)
    Why will you love staying with us?
    ✨ A warm and family-oriented atmosphere
    ✨ A quiet but lively area, close to the sea and Brest
    ✨ Lots of sharing, laughter and great moments together
    ✨ The perfect place if you love nature, creativity and simple, genuine relationships
    If you’re looking for a welcoming family, a place where you can truly feel at home, and a beautiful human experience, we would be very happy to meet you 💛
    See you soon!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    What we really hope from our workawayers is sharing. We’d love for you to introduce your language and culture to our kids, simply through daily life, chats, games, and everyday moments.
    From our side, we offer a simple and healthy lifestyle, close to nature. At home, meals are always homemade, vegetarian, and full of fruits and vegetables.
    Sports are a big part of our routine: our girls do a lot of gymnastics, my husband runs regularly, and we love being active and spending time outside.
    The garden and vegetable patch are also an important part of our life.
    We love board games.
    I, on my side, create jewelry every day, and I’d be happy to share this creative world with you, including handmade work and the whole creative process.
    We enjoy simple exchanges, learning from others, and having a great human experience, without any stress.

    Ce qu’on attend surtout des workawayers, c’est le partage. On aimerait que vous fassiez découvrir votre langue et votre culture aux enfants, simplement au fil du quotidien, à travers les discussions, les jeux et la vie de tous les jours. De notre côté, on vous propose une vie simple et saine, proche de la nature. À la maison, les repas sont toujours faits maison, végétariens, avec beaucoup de fruits et légumes. Le sport fait vraiment partie de notre routine : nos filles font beaucoup de gym, mon mari court régulièrement, et on aime bouger et passer du temps dehors. Le jardin et le potager ont aussi une place importante chez nous. On adore les jeux de société. De mon côté, je crée tous les jours en tant que créatrice de bijoux, et ce sera avec plaisir de partager cet univers créatif, le fait-main et le processus de création. On aime les échanges simples, apprendre des autres et vivre une belle expérience humaine, sans prise de tête.

    Help

    We are looking for an au pair to help us with everyday life in a flexible and relaxed way. This mainly includes taking care of our youngest child, helping with daily household tasks, and a bit of help with meals if you enjoy cooking.
    If you like gardening, you’re also welcome to help in the garden 🌱 (but this is totally optional!).
    We would love for the children to discover your language and culture.
    We value flexibility and open-mindedness: what matters most to us is a calm, respectful relationship and a meaningful human experience for everyone.

    Nous cherchons une personne au pair pour nous aider dans le quotidien, de manière flexible et détendue. Cela comprend principalement la garde de notre plus jeune enfant, un coup de main pour le ménage du quotidien, et un peu d’aide pour les repas si vous aimez cuisiner. Si vous aimez le jardinage, vous pourrez aussi participer au jardin 🌱 (mais c’est totalement optionnel !).Nous aimerions que les enfants puissent découvrir votre langue et votre culture. Nous fonctionnons avec beaucoup de souplesse : ce qui compte le plus pour nous, c’est une relation sereine, respectueuse et une belle expérience humaine pour tous.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We live in a large, fairly recent wooden house of 200 m², in a quiet neighborhood.
    The property includes a 500 m² garden and 5000 m² of forest and vegetable garden with chickens 🐔.
    The au pair will have a large bedroom with a double bed just for her. On the ground floor, there is a big common area, and upstairs are the children’s rooms and the bathroom.
    As for food, we like to eat light and healthy during the day, mostly fruits and vegetable juices. In the evening, I cook more “classic” meals, but always with lots of vegetables and flavor 😋

    Nous vivons dans une grande maison en bois assez récente de 200 m², dans un quartier tranquille.
    Le terrain : un jardin de 500 m², et 5000 m² de forêt et potager avec des poules 🐔.
    La personne au pair aura une grande chambre avec un lit double rien que pour elle. Au rez-de-chaussée, il y a une grande pièce commune, et à l’étage les chambres des enfants et la salle de bain.
    Côté nourriture, on aime manger léger et sain dans la journée, surtout des fruits et des jus de légumes. Le soir, je cuisine plutôt “classique”, mais toujours avec beaucoup de légumes et de saveurs 😋

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The bus station is only 1 km from the house, so it’s easy to get around and visit nearby towns. But Saint-Renan already offers lots of activities and things to discover!
    We also have bikes available to easily explore the area.
    I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible, and there’s plenty of freedom to organize your days however you like.

    La gare routière est à seulement 1 km de la maison, donc il est facile de se déplacer pour visiter les villes autour. Mais Saint-Renan offre déjà plein d’activités et de choses à découvrir !
    On a aussi des vélos à disposition pour se balader facilement dans le coin.
    Je travaille à la maison, donc je suis assez flexible, et il y a beaucoup de liberté pour organiser ses journées comme on le souhaite.
