    Help

    Depending on your profile, your intentions, and our needs, we may need help to look after our dog (walking or babysitting because it is a dog that cannot stand being alone), for cooking, for the children or for the exterior (help with plot maintenance). (No help for large animals but with pleasure to share this daily life with you). And no help for my business because I am significantly reducing my activity from September. And that my job is not suitable for having someone by my side.
    2 - 3 hours per day

    Selon votre profil, vos intentions, et nos besoins, nous pouvons avoir besoin d’aide pour garder notre chien (balade ou gardiénage car c’est un chien qui ne supporte pas d’être seul) , pour la cuisine, pour les enfants ou pour l’extérieur (aide à l’entretien des parcelles). (Pas d’aide pour les gros animaux mais avec plaisir de vous partager ce quotidien). Et pas d’aide pour mon entreprise car je diminue fortement mon activité à partir de septembre. Et que mon métier ne se prête pas pour avoir quelqu’un à mes côtés.
    2 - 3h par jour
