  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are a small family connected with the community. We have lived here for the last 10 years. We are happy to share our knowledge of the local mountains. If you are a skier/snowboarder we are happy to show you around on the ski hill or ski touring. We try to do family dinners in order to connect in the evening. We are involved in the local community through events and the school. You will always be welcome to do everything we do as a family !

  Sometimes one or both of us have to work early. We need help getting our son ready for school and then help with pick up at the end of the day. You would have most of the day free! Must be reliable and an early riser. We may ask for some help with dinner prep.
