Description
We are a bilingual (English French) family of three living in a little village called Cries, close to the world famous ski resort: Verbier. The parents, Adam and Caroline, are mountain guides and their daughter Olivia is 10 years old. She is happy, sporty (climbing, skateboarding, biking, skiing, ski touring, ice climbing, ice skating, swimming, we also have a trampoline, etc.) and loves her school. We have a dog called Brownie. We live in a new house we built with a spare bedroom for "our" workaway.
Our community is mostly bilingual and very active. In the winter, we guide skiing, ski touring and ice climbing and our schedules change a lot so we need help to have more flexibility with Olivia's schedule and to walk the dog and help with cleaning. Mostly, one of us is around but sometimes we need help to take Olivia to her activities and around the house. We would need the dog to be taken on walks or bike rides once a day minimum.
During our free time, we do lots of activities with Olivia and on our own and would be happy to include "our" workaway when possible.
We are looking for someone independent, helpful, kind, self motivated, reliable and sporty. We would like that person to take Olivia skiing, biking and doing sports when we can't be around. An added bonus would be someone who could teach Olivia music or a language.
