We will appreciate to discover the culture of our workawayer (tradition, cooking, way of life...)

We are searching for a young workawayer who will help us with the household and the daily life with the children. Take the children to school, do some cleaning or cooking, ...
In one word, be part of the family.

Anja was a very nice Workawayer. She was really sweet with the kids and very helpful with all the daily tasks. Always in a good mood, and very flexible. She is very good with gardening. We are very sad she had to leave to go back to Switzerland due to COVID-19... We really hope she will come back soon.
She was really part of the family and we… read more

I had such an amazing time with the family! I planned to stay with them for 10 weeks, unfortunately the coronavirus didn`t let me stay this long. In the end I had to leave after 6 weeks and I was very disappointed. The family was so nice to me. My goal was to learn the French and they all helped me a lot. Even the kids always helped me to improve… read more

I stayed 6 wonderful weeks with this incredible family. Words can not describe how happy I am that I've met them. The whole family was very kind to me and I could always talk to them if I needed something. On the first day I already felt like a part of the family.
As the parents work during the day, I brought the kids to school or the bus stop and… read more

I just spent 5 wonderful weeks with the family. I instantly felt home in the house and was accepted as a part of the family - and I really felt like a part of the family.
The work I had to do was not to exhausting and I had the opportunity to create my own schedule for the tasks that I had to do. Finally, I just tried to help like family members… read more

I spent 6 weeks with Marilyn, Antoine and the children and I'm so grateful to have met them!
They are all lovely people, friendly, very respectful and the kids are well brought-up. The three children are cute on their own way: Timéo, who is calm, caring and explains to you how he solved his task in maths, Lucile who is mature, follows everything… read more

Mia is a very nice girl, always willing to help. She took care of our 3 kids during 6 weeks, helping them with their homework’s and helping a lot in (and out) the house (she managed to pull weeds all around the house but also learned how to iron shirts !). She is always happy to discover new areas (visiting CLERMONT or VICHY, going to the cinema… read more

She was exactly what we expected as a workawayer. We have… read more
