Description
Family needs a hand for general tasks like watering the vegetable garden, weeding, looking after the dogs and hens, chopping wood etc.
We are living in the countryside but can provide a car or bikes.
You can learn sewing with me as I used to be a seamstress, and get some cooking skills with me as I volunteer as a chef for a rugby team, but also work out with the kids who are rugby players.

Merci encore et portez vous bien !
The work we did was mostly around the house, we had different tasks in the garden like weeding, planting or repairing the pool for the hens and ducks. Claire is a really good cook, so we enjoyed delicious meals with the whole family every night.
