  Description

  Hello Workawayers!
  
  I'm looking for some help this summer between the French Alps and Corsica 😊
  
  In July, I’ll be staying at our family chalet in the French Alps. I mainly need help with my dog.
  
  The setting is beautiful and peaceful — lots of hiking, lakes, and fresh air. July is really about enjoying nature and spending time outdoors, with the main focus being the dog.
  
  In August, we’ll be in Corsica, on the Isolella peninsula (near Porticcio), in a house just a few meters from the sea.
  
  This is a family holiday with a mix of:
  
  children
  young adults (around 29–33)
  parents
  
  The main help needed here is with the children:
  
  Childcare 👶
  
  Two 8-year-olds who are quite independent
  One little girl (2.5 years old) who needs babysitting around 2 hours per day
  (she already speaks French — and quite a lot 😊)
  
  There’s also a bit of help needed with the dog:
  
  Around 30 minutes walk per day
  
  The rest is just light, occasional help around the house.
  
  The vibe is very relaxed and social — beach, swimming, sun, meals together,boat trips and a lively family atmosphere.
  
  
  If you enjoy nature, are comfortable with dogs, and like being around family life, this could be a great experience 😊
  
  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
  
  Best regards,
  Marie-Christine

  Help

  I'm looking for help with dog care (walking and exploring the mountains with him), general housekeeping to keep the chalet clean and comfortable, and some cooking. In August, the help shifts more towards light childcare (around 2 hours a day with a 2.5-year-old who already speaks French) and a short daily dog walk (around 30 minutes), in a relaxed seaside family setting in Corsica.

  Accommodation

  Private room in the chalet in July. In August (Corsica), either a private room or a shared room with the children depending on availability and how many people are staying in the house.
  
  You’ll either have a private room or share with the children depending on the moment (how many people are in the house and room availability).
