    Hello and welcome to our home!

    I am the mother of a wonderful 15-year-old autistic daughter, Louise, who is non-verbal. We are looking for a caring person to help us at home, primarily with cleaning, and possibly spending time with Louise. You will be immersed in a warm and dynamic environment, where each day is different and enriching.

    Our family leads a healthy and active lifestyle: we regularly swim, cycle, and hike. Our diet is gluten-free and lactose-free, which is important for our well-being. You will have the opportunity to discover a different world, that of autism, a broad spectrum with daily challenges. It is crucial that you are aware of this reality before committing to visit us.

    If you are looking for a unique experience and wish to lend a hand to a special family, we would be delighted to welcome you.

    Looking forward to meeting you!

    Bonjour et bienvenue dans notre foyer !

    Je suis maman d'une adorable fille autiste de 15 ans, Louise, qui est non verbale. Nous recherchons une personne bienveillante pour nous prêter main-forte à la maison, principalement pour le ménage et éventuellement pour passer du temps avec Louise. Vous serez immergé dans un environnement chaleureux et dynamique, où chaque journée est différente et enrichissante.

    Notre famille a un mode de vie sain et actif : nous pratiquons régulièrement la natation, le vélo et la randonnée. Notre alimentation est sans gluten et sans lactose, ce qui est important pour notre bien-être. Vous aurez l'occasion de découvrir un autre monde, celui de l'autisme, un spectre large avec des défis quotidiens. Il est essentiel que vous soyez conscient de cette réalité avant de vous engager à venir chez nous.

    Si vous cherchez une expérience unique et souhaitez apporter votre aide à une famille spéciale, nous serions ravis de vous accueillir.

    Au plaisir de vous rencontrer !
