Help look after my horses and my baby near St Cirq-Lapopie, France

Description

Hi! My name is Agathe. I live alone with my baby, a cat, 2 ponies and 2 horses in the middle of forests and pastures in south west of France, near the most beautiful French village called St Cirq-Lapopie. I'm supposed to move in a few months but I'll stay in this marvelous wild area. Here you can see many dolmens, caves with prehistorical paintings, cliffs... It's the perfect place where practicing climbing, caving, canoe... Houses and landscape are nice, flora and fauna are diverse.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

I love art and organize exhibitions. My father is a painter and live not far from my house. You can visit his studio. I also love cinema. Here you can meet many interesting and uncommon people : film makers, artists, cavers...
I studied vine growing and wine making. I live 30 km far from Cahors vineyard. So, I can make you discover French wines and make you visit estates.
I can teach you French.

Help

I need help from an advanced rider to help me train my young horse and to ride the old one that is a coward and need to work more often. With my baby, I can't look after them as I would like to. I need help either to look after the baby or after the horses or both...
I need a baby-sitter for other reasons too.
My baby, whose name is Yaël, has both French and Spanish nationalities, but I don't speak a word of Spanish! It would be great if we could learn this nice language. I'd like her to be fluent in English too.
That's also great if you can help me in the house. There are logs to split for example... As I'm supposed to move, you can also perhaps help me prepare boxes of stuff to move...

What else ...
