Would you like to come and help us cooking meals, plant vegetables in the kitchen garden, and do some DIY (paintings, plaster, wood work ...)?
If yes, contact us !*
Hello to you,
😀 We are Isabeau (27) and Alba (2). We live near Ilse Jourdain (32 Gers), 40 minutes from Toulouse.
➡️ We are looking for help for daily life at home: DIY, gardening, cooking, daily life.
Minimum stay of 2 weeks.
Possible for 2-3 months.
❤ You like:
- living in the countryside, enjoying the sun and the birds, the mud and the rain
- playing and taking care of a 2 years old baby
- walking or biking in the countryside
- cooking vegetables from the garden or the market, making your favorite recipes
- eating healthy, eating sober
- having time with our family, and time for yourself in autonomy
- learn to do crafts, and to garden
- play board games
- 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 know how to respect your commitments
- 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 :)
*Read all the way through to get to know us better!*
❌ 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)
- it is important for you to eat meat or desserts at each meal
- if you're afraid of bugs
👩 To know Isabeau better:
28 year old mom, I am a cheerful and positive person. I love nature, the forest, walks. And at the same time, I love working on my projects: gardening, tinkering with what is broken or creating new things, developing my business in wellness (I work on the computer from home).
I am a yoga teacher, breathing coach and masseuse.
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 one year old baby with lots of energy. I love to go see everything I don't know. I need to be watched closely to make sure I don't take dangerous things. I walk, and sometimes I fall, and I need to be comforted. I am learning to live my emotions, the forbidden ones, and sometimes I am sad that I can't do everything. I love playing with people, I give them lots of smiles, and sometimes hugs.
🏠 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 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.
