    Je m'appelle Nathalie j'habite une jolie maison dans le sud de la France. J'ai 4 garçons : Axel 18 ans, part à Paris en octobre pour étudier le Cinéma, Evan 16 ans, Tim 14 ans et Elliot 12 ans. Je vis seule avec eux et je souhaite trouver quelqu'un pour m'aider dans la vie quotidienne de la maison. Les 4 garçons font beaucoup d'activités sportives et culturelles (théâtre et cinéma). J'ai aussi des travaux de rénovation à faire en automne car je souhaite construire des "logements insolites" dans le jardin. J'ai déjà 2 personnes qui travailleront sur le projet mais j'ai besoin de workaways pour aider à l'aménagement paysager avant la construction, et aussi des mains pendant la construction. Je dois également effectuer des travaux d'entretien sur ma terrasse en bois et ma piscine
    Je parle anglais presque couramment et j'aimerais que mes enfants suivent des cours d'anglais et d'espagnol. Nous aimons dîner ensemble et partager avec notre workaway.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Of course the work away could learn French, but also discover our region and all nature sports such as mountain biking, kite surfing and paddling. Boys are also comedians and make films and so this is an area that work away could share with them.

    Bien sur le work away pourrait apprendre le Français , mais aussi découvrir notre région et tous les sports nature comme le VTT , le Kite surf et le Paddle . Les garçons sont aussi comédiens et réalisent des films et donc c'est un domaine que le work away pourrait partager avec eux.

    I am looking for an English speaking person so that the boys can speak English and why not teach them a little computer science. Help us with children (activities and college), but also help with DIY work and maintenance of the house.

Nous aider dans les déplacements avec les enfants ( activités et collège ) , mais aussi une aide dans le travail de bricolage et d'entretien de la maison.
