Description
Hello, we are à family of 6, Clémentine, Philémon, Anatole, Cassiopée are 13, 12, 10, 7 years old and the parents are Anne-Sophie et Julien. we live in a beautiful and big old house that needs a lot of work that Julien gradually undertakes. we are located in boege a small village of Haute-Savoie in the French Alps near Geneva. We need help to take care of the children but also for all the daily household and DIY work in the house. We love music (we have two pianos a guitar a bass and some percussions), we also like mountain sports (downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, hiking, sledging). It's important that you have a driving license to drive the kids to their various activities, but also to take advantage of the car that we can lend you sometimes. You will have your own room, you will be welcomed in a warm family atmosphere. We hope to see you soon.

Arrivé pour une nuit, il est resté 11 mois. Ce fût une super rencontre, Riccardo est enthousiaste, courageux, patient. Toujours volontaire pour aider, très polyvalent, s'il ne sait pas faire quelque chose, il apprend très vite. Digne de confiance et généreux, s'il peut, il donnera tout. C'est un ami indéfectible.

I believe that 5… read more

It was my first Workaway experience and while I was shy in the beginning, they were all so welcoming and cool, so it was a great frame to relax and enjoy this beautiful cultural and human exchange.

I spent two weeks with this family. Parents are very openminded and easy going. While my stay there were there two more nice adults. involving in refurbishing the house. I had to postpone my arrival due to a surgical operaton they didn't make any problem.

The only speaking language is French and all of them are willing to help you to improve.

I've spent 4 months working in this family, which I can only describe as an amazing experience. You are quickly welcomed in a home that is used to have an aupair around, so the kids are not shy and love to be around you (primarily the younger ones).

The language spoken in the family is exclusively French. So I'd recommend that you have a basic… read more

I have done several Workaways with amazing families around the world, and this experience with Anne-Sophie, Julien and their kids was one of the best! The only regret I have is that I was only able to stay two weeks, as it was a pleasant time and they really make you feel like an important part of the family.
The kids are really great and I fell… read more
