Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I love cooking, I do my own sourdough bread, and I organise some concert in my house.
You can also go to concerts and shows at Rouen opera house, i have tickets very often! And meet our friends, i like to have parties and to invite people. Rouen is full of museum, churches, visits to do, it’s a very old and nice city.
You will also have a lot of free time so it’s better if you are independent and know how to use your time!
