    Description

    Here we are a small team: a solo mom, a great 8-year-old adventurer, and our friendly dog and cat. We live in a cozy house with a small garden in a very quiet village, perfectly located between Toulouse and Montauban.

    Our home is lively, simple, and warm. We love cooking (french chef here), laughing, sharing good times, and learning about new cultures. If you are looking for a cool place to settle down, practice your French, and experience real family life in the countryside, you'll feel right at home here! We speak English fluently, so if french is overwhelming, we're happy to switch to English

    We aren’t looking for a professional, just someone willing to lend a hand with a smile . Tasks change depending on what's needed:

    In the garden: ,weeding, or taking care of the plants.

    Small DIY / Repairs: There is always a little thing to fix, a shelf to put up, or a bit of painting.

    In the house: A bit of daily cleaning to keep the place tidy and nice for everyone (vacuuming, organizing).

    The big project : organise the garage for winter

    Accommodation & Perks:
    In exchange, you'll have your own private, quiet bedroom in the house (with Wi-Fi, of course!). We'll share home-cooked meals together , vegetarian and mostly organic.
    On weekends, you can explore Toulouse and Montauban (we can easily drop you off at the nearest train station), there is a bus stop just outside the village

    We are international travellers, love meeting travellers and hear your stories.

    Can't wait to meet you and chat! '
    ============
    Chez nous, c'est une petite équipe : une maman solo, une aventurière de 8 ans, ainsi que notre chien et notre chat. Nous habitons une maison avec un petit jardin dans un village super calme, idéalement situé entre Toulouse et Montauban.

    Notre maison est vivante, simple et chaleureuse. On adore cuisiner, rigoler, partager de bons moments et découvrir de nouvelles cultures. Si tu cherches un endroit sympa pour te poser, progresser en français et vivre la vraie vie de famille à la campagne, tu es au bon endroit !

    On ne cherche pas un professionnel, juste quelqu'un qui a envie de donner un coup de main avec le sourire. Les tâches bougent selon les besoins, désherber ou s'occuper des plantes.
    On a toujours un petit truc à réparer, une étagère à poser ou un coup de peinture à donner.
    J'ai fait la majorité des travaux mais il en reste toujours et on a 1000 projets dans nos tiroirs.
    Un peu de ménage quotidien pour garder la maison agréable pour tout le monde (aspirateur, rangement).
    Mais le gros chantier, ranger le garage pour l'hiver

    Dans notre maison, tu auras ta propre chambre privée tranquille à la maison (avec Wi-Fi, bien sûr !). On partagera nos repas ensemble, à la bonne franquette mais végétarien et plutôt bio. Le week-end, balade à Toulouse ou Montauban (on pourra facilement s'organiser pour t'emmener à la gare la plus proche). Bus, pas dans le village mais presque.
