    Hello!
    We are Alex Valo and Kosma! We are a new little family since july 2018 and we would need some help for this summer (from middle or june to begining september) because of our respectiv work.
    We are both circus artists and we work with our company. Alex's company "La Burrasca" is a swinging trapeze copany, they are touring with 5 girls and playing 2 different show this year.
    Valo's company "100 Issues" is a groupe of 25 people who are working on 3 different shows, outdoor and with a circus tent.
    So we are touring from mid-april to end of september and sometimes at the same time and realy not at the same place! We though it could be fun for a "workawayer" to folow us during our tour taking care of our son Kosma.
    It could be a very good experience for someone who want to visit France (and soetimes europe) and to discover the circus world and french art festivals.
    We think its a realy nice experience to share with people who like to travel and who likes kid!
    Kosma is born the 30 of july 2018. He is a realy chill baby (during the day...), he likes people and like to go in everybody's hand! He is already used to travel, we are actualy sending this from The Belize where we're sepnding our hollidays! As well we would love that Kosma could learn an other language with someone. Alex as Italian family, and Valo is alf german, so we speak a bit italian, german and english but not enought to teach!
    So if you speak any other language than french we're happy!
    See you and enjoy travel!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We think its a perfect way to visit France (sometimes we tour in Spain, Germany, Italia, Belgium...) because we have a lot of realy nice festivals here! You will se ho a company works, in a very collectif way.
    We are living with 15 people from the company so you'll be part of this little comunity when we're not on tour.
    Its also a very good way to meet french vivant art and to meet a lot of people!

    We will need someone from the 18th of june to the 7th of july in thé centre if France. and from the 7th of august to the 2nd of september in Prague.
    The first idea is to take care of Kosma when we're touring but we are a company so there is always a lot to do o if you want to help on other things there always be something you can help with! But thats up to you!

    We can't realy say precicely how much time per day we would need you because when we're on tour we are still around but we need to be focus and we can't give Kosma al the atention he needs!
    It will be around 5 hours per day and 5 days per week. Sometimes a bit more and some times a bit less!
