Description
Hi ! Our little family is busy and looking for guests asap : the perfect match would be a sunny and experienced aupair girl, confortable with kids and house care, enjoying cooking or happy to do little handiwork. We consider au pair guys as well, under same conditions. Thank you for writing us !
About us :
I'm Maria, an Italian woman 30 years old, living in South of France since 7 years.
I'm a solo mum of an amazing and indipendent 8 years old daughter, Serena.
She's with me one week out of two and we do home-school.
We travelled half ot the world and are full of passion for life and humans.
We live simply and fully, with real friends and amazing projects in our hearts, minds and hands.
Oh, and of course : we love making tiramisu and spending great time around the table, enjoying delicious organic veg and local food !
About me : I'm a partera (traditional midwife) and homebirth activist, artist, eco-festival organiser ... I'm self-employed and wild spirit.
I am also the founder and busy coordinator of an association abouth women natural health.
I am lucky enought to have a supportive comminity of neighboughts and hearfull friends that can be present for you as well, and support you in case of need.
In our area there are a lot of amazing places of nature (waterfall, river, forest, mountain) to explore, and we are still close to urban centre (5min to the village, reacheable by bike, and 1h to cities nearby (Montpellie, Nimes ...) reacheable by bus.
We are sure that you will enjoy your staying !

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a little mama-daughter family, happily living the life we dream.
Nature here is various and beautiful, our contryside is close to town but peaceful and rich.
People find us inspiring as we travelled a lot, and I realize any big project I dream of.
I love showing you the area and sharing about any of my passions (cooking, languages, travels, off-grid living, ancestral culture, alternative health, women health, Birth, healty relationships and personal empowerement).
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
I am fully invested in my work as a partera (traditional midwife) so I need to be able to leave from home at any time day or night to go to a birth, knowing that my daughter is with a trusted person.
I also need an extra pair of hands in everyday life, as cooking, basic house cleaning, driving my daughter to activities, house maintenance (we are arranging some new spaces) and random tasks.
Some days may be more needy and some completely off, an average of 2 - 3 hours a day of your avauability is probably enought. We are flexible and easygoing, life can be chill slow style or very busy next week : we never get bored !

We can find together the best arrangements for your hours of avaiability etc. according to both your and our needs.
What else ...
We are connected to the big towns as Montpellier and Nimes by bus, 1h of driving.
We have a loving community around that come to visit or that we visit, now and then, and we also have solitary mood time to time. So you can find the lifestyle that do you best match with !
Please note I very rarely drink alcohol, and never smoke.
"Party" to me means to go to a alcohol-free event in nature, dance traditional folk music, sing around the campfire and enjoy authentic friendships. You will be welcome to join or to go party in town on your own if you prefer :)
