    Description

    Hi everybody !

    I'm Lucie, 36yo French mom of a 4yo little cute girl, living with our dog in deep French countryside, south of France.
    After divorcing we're both lonely (that's why we adopted a dog), especially after the life we had until now: growing up in a guest house, doing workaway and Airbnb, living abroad, travelling, my daughter already speaks 3 languages at 4 but she's unfortunately forgetting 2 of them.

    That's why I decided to open my workaway again, looking for people to share our daily vegan countryside life. The help I need is mainly being with someone around to share house chores (laundry, cleaning, cooking vegan food...), and playing with my daughter when she's at home. It would help if you speak English with her as she used to understand it but doesn't want to speak it anymore.

    Also come with me to walk the dog (Roxy, 5yo, big shepherd dog) or go to walk her when I can't.

    Apart from being nice and used to young children screaming, the help I need is mainly about daily life and not being alone, so it doesn't required special skills. But as it is also countryside, it could help if you know how to make some stuff outdoors like gardening, build a dog house or fence.

    Sleeping:
    Here's the main point : my house is small. I only have one separate room that you can use and my daughter and I would sleep in the living room. But it is not the best on the long run, and as the garden is big, if you have a tent that's also possible to sleep in the tent.

    Food:
    We're almost vegan (we eat eggs from the neighbor's chicken) and totally gluten free.
    If you're someone eating a lot, I would ask for a small food participation, but otherwise, I can afford for food too (only what I usually eat like veggies, nuts...)

    Moving around:
    It's countryside, we go everywhere by car or walk. You can use my bicycle but even if it is not mountain side, the ways up and down are strong. The first shop is... far, about 6 or 7km away. We can go together by car or use my car if you have a driving licence. The school is very close and we often go by walk.

    I'm a professional musician and regularly go to concerts or jams. You're welcome to come too !
