  Description

  Hello to you,
  😀 We are Isabeau (28) and Alba (2,5). We live near Isle Jourdain (32 Gers), 40 minutes from Toulouse.
  
  
  ❤ You like:
  - living in the countryside, enjoying the sun and the birds, the mud and the rain
  - playing and taking care of a 2,5 years old baby
  - cooking vegetables from the garden or the market, making your favorite recipes
  - having time with our family, and time for yourself in autonomy
  - learn to do crafts, and to garden
  - having a quiet chat over a cup of tea
  
  ❤ For you, these values are important:
  - you like it when people express themselves as they are, while respecting the sensitivity of others
  - you listen to others, to different opinions, and dialogue in peace
  - you appreciate calm energy, joy, benevolence
  - you like to have time alone sometimes, and to be with our family other times
  - you like to be autonomous and have independence, it is ok for you to work alone most of the time
  - you prefer to have a planned and organized day
  
  
  👪 When you come to us, you join our family! We take care of each other, we discuss what's going well, and what's not, so that everything goes well for everyone :)
  
  
  ❌ Unfortunatly, our family is not going to suit you if:
  - you want to party a lot, drink alcohol, stay up late
  - you want to be close to a city to go out to bars, movies, stores
  - you don't like life with children (laughing, crying, babbling)
  - if you're afraid of bugs
  
  👩 To know Isabeau better:
  I am a cheerful and positive person. I love nature, the forest, walks. And at the same time, I love developing my business in wellness (I work on the computer from home).
  I am a yoga teacher (you can join the course every tuesday morning).
  I am hypersensitive, and to recharge, I need to have quiet time, for myself, listening to music, painting, or doing yoga.
  I love taking care of Alba, playing with her, helping her discover new things every day, helping her learn.
  I am passionate about diving, dancing. I have traveled and woofed in Colombia, Peru, Indonesia, Malaysia and Kyrgyzstan. I speak English and Spanish.
  
  
  👶 To get to know Alba better:
  I am a baby with lots of energy. I speak very well for my age. I am learning to live my emotions. I love playing with people, I give them lots of smiles, and sometimes hugs. I go to the nursery every days except on weekends.
  
  
  🏠 The house:
  On the ground floor, there is the living room/kitchen, bathroom, and an office. Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms and a toilet. The garden is large, and the view is beautiful on the countryside.
  We are 40 minutes from Toulouse, and 10 minutes (by car) from all amenities (markets, parks, supermarket, pharmacy ...).
  We are at 1 km from a pretty little village, crossed by a river, with many hiking trails, and a beautiful church. There are the beautiful cities of the Gers (Samatan, l'Ilse Jourdain, ...) at 10 minutes by car.
