Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We love to exchange. We use to host woofer in the farm. We speak several languages. We are really easy going. Other people lives in the farm during the year and we are mainly tourist oriented during July and August so you will meet a lot of people. We can learn you or improve your skills in horse riding.
Help
We are looking for someone to help us to take Care of our 2 children and a bit with the house. We will be really busy during the next months till beginning of september with the farm so in order to make it easier and better for the girls we would love to host someone willing to:
- bring and/or go pick up (with our car) the girls at the beginning and ending of school and daycare
- read stories (they love it very much)
- play outside (we have a swimming pool so someone who know how to swim and who love it, the older one already know how it swim) and make créatives activities with them
- help us with the family daily routines (put table, put night clothes, ...)
- help us with the basic cleaning of the house.
We mostly need help Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday (when the girls are at home). And some end of afternoon during the week.
We only need help around our private home and family, no help with our horse farm is asked.

Accommodation
You will be accommodated in a caravan on our little campsite with your own cabinet with toilets and shower. You have full access to the house with the living room, kitchen, ...
We provide all the meals/food needed
We cook a lot (I (Erika) love to cook.) We take mostly all our meals together but you are free (when you need alone time), to cook for yourself whatever you want and eat it in your caravan or in the house before or after the family dinner. But we will love to eat with you most of the time because it is the best moment when we can share and exchange together.
What else ...
We are 1 hour from the Mediterranean sea, 30 minutes from the mountains (Pyrenees). 1hour from Toulouse and Carcassonne.
We host once or twice a year one minor from Belgium through a NGO who need a time out so we need someone with no drug use or unstable behaviour. In order to not interact badly with this young girl or boy (around 16-18 years old) who need a safe place when they come in our farm.
We host once a girl of 18 years old for 6 months, it was a wonderful experience. She's till now a dear friend who often comes back to visit us. The girls love her!
We are looking forward to repeat the experience.
