    ABOUT US... (please read to be considered!!!)
    We are a "mixed" family: Jastin is American (with French and Norwegian roots) and Rachele is French (with an Italian, American and British background). We have two children: Noah (6 1/2) and Gianni (5) who are bilingual French-English. We also have a Guyanese roommate (with a Haitian background) who we consider to be a part of our family. ;) We have two dogs and two cats.
    Jastin enjoys photography. Rachele teaches as a College professor. We are passionate about languages, music, extreme sports, cooking, traveling... We love having people over our home. Our house is the home of "happiness" and there's always something going on.
    We are looking for a person who can teach our boys Italian (through conversation, images and games) and potentially do some housework or work on the computer.

    Veuillez lire attentivement pour être considéré...
    Nous sommes une famille "mixte": Jastin est américain (avec des racines françaises et norvégiennes) et Rachèle est française (d'origine italienne, américaine et anglaise). Nous avons deux enfants: Noah (6 ans 1/2) et Gianni (5 ans) qui sont bilingues français-anglais. Nous avons également un colocataire guyanais (d'origine haïtienne) que nous considérons faire parti de notre famille. ;) Nous avons deux chiens et deux chats.
    Jastin aime la photographie. Rachèle travaille comme prof en fac. Nous sommes passionnés par les langues, la musique, les sports de glisse, cuisiner, voyager... Nous aimons avons du monde à la maison. Notre maison est la maison du "bonheur" et on fait toujours quelque chose. Nous cherchons une personne qui peut enseigner l'italien à nos petits (à travers la conversation, des images et des jeux), peut-être faire un peu de travail à la maison et du travail sur l'ordinateur.

Abbiamo due cani e due gatti.
    Jastin è fotografo e Rachele è insegnante a mezzo-tempo. Siamo appassionati per le lingue, la musica, gli sport, cucinare e viaggiare... Ci piace avere delle personne a casa nostra. La nostra casa è la casa della "felicità" et facciamo sempre qual cosa. Cerchiamo una persona chi può insegnare i nostri bambini l'italiano (con conversazioni, imagini e giocchi) e forse di fare un po di lavoro a casa e un po di lavoro sul computer.
