  Description

  Hello,
  
  We are a French-Hungarian family living in Limoges with our three children.
  
  As my husband and myself have to travel abroad once in a while and we don't have family members living close to us, we would need a person who would help us out around the kids. We are trying to find someone in here because it is really important for us that we don't want an employee but someone who is part of our family and with whom we can share our cultural experiences.
  A brief introduction of our family:
  
  Our oldest, Anna will turn 7 in March, Clémence will be 5 in March and our baby boy Jean-Baptiste is 7 months old. My partner Jean-François, 41, is a university professor who teaches economics at the University of Limoges and does research in sports economics.
  
  I'm 37, I work in partnership with UEFA, organising a training course for former professional football players, and in this role I have to travel for about 5-6 days every two months.

  Help

  We are looking for someone to work a maximum of 20 hours per week to help us with :
  Dropping off at school and nursery in the morning.
  Picking up and looking after them in the afternoon until we get home from work.
  Assisting one of the parents with household chores around the children in the morning and evening if the other is away.
  Look after the children on Wednesdays (there is no school in France on the Wednesdays) and take them to sports activities.
  Baby-sitting one evening every 2 weeks.
  
  Of course, meals and accommodation (with a separate entrance and direct access to the garden) as well as all basic expenses are at our charge. You would also have a French phone number covered by us, and some pocket money. On top of all this, we'll provide a warm family atmosphere, help you to find your way around the culture and to find suitable language courses if that's something you would like to participate in. And of course we would be happy if you could teach your language to our children as well.
  
  Basic French knowledge is important so you can communicate with the kids and the caregivers at school.
