Description
Hello,
We are a family of 3 : Marine (35 years),Dimitri (30 years), and Talia (one year and a half). We a dog (Caprisse) and a cat (Bidule).
We live in a lovely village in the department of Ardèche (Les Vans : gates of the Cévennes National Park). You can find all you need around (less than 5 minutes walking) : bar, restaurant, shops... All around, trees, forest, nature, and some pretty ancient stone houses.
It is also the starting point of many hikes. I think you will love to be here, the department of Ardèche, where Les Vans is located, has a rich natural and cultural heritage, and there are a lot of things to do and to discover (rivers, mountains,villages)! it will be a pleasure for us to advise you about some places, transport, and if we can, maybe go with you to visit or bring you to some places.
Because of his job, Dimitri will be away every week and back only during weekend. It's the main reason why we are looking for someone who could help me and take me company. I'm working at home as a childminder with two other young children.
We live in a house with a garden. At the end of the winter we take care of the vegetable garden.

Help
I'm not looking for someone to do everything for me, just someone who can support me on a daily basis.
We are looking for help on our wonderfull place: at home with the child (some baby-sitting to let the me do other things in the house or around the house, and sometimes prepare organic food, and some household ), also gardenning (we grow organic vegetables), and different DIY things (I'm hand-making some learning material for Talia, maths So cut, plasticize, print, etc...). Preparing to plant on spring, preparing seeds, giving them love and good energies, watering, preparing the soil, structures of bamboo for the tomatoes...
I want to have daily support. The organising will be done gradually depending on what there is to do and your skills
For examples: garden maintenance, home maintenance, routine cleaning, kitchen help, simple meals or recipes that you will want to share with us, small crafts.
We would also like to improve our level of English and learn Spanish.
