Description
We are a family with 3 kids (aged 10, 13 and 15), we live in Montpellier, in the South of France, in a spacious apartment in the historical center of the city. We are into healthy, vegetarian food and we try to live in a sustainable way respecting the environment as much as we can. We have many hobbies going from music to trekking, travelling, jogging, sailing, gardening and yoga (and many more!) :)
Jerome works for an environmental NGO and I (Eleonora) am a free lance consultant and trainer for development aid projects. There is always a lot of work to do in the house and with the kids, and we would be grateful to get some help!

Help
We are looking for a trustworthy person who would like to help us with the kids (English/Spanish/Italian language classes, walking them to activities, etc) and in the house (daily tidying up and cooking). The details will be discussed on a case by case basis based on our ongoing needs and your whises and preferences. We propose accommodation and meals with us in exchange of 5 hours of work/day during the week (Monday to Friday). We look for someone who feels comfortable with kids and pets (we have a Golden Retriever called Stella ), who is respectful of the rules, who is willing to work and to take initiative. We welcome in particular English, Italian or Spanish native speakers so that they could speak one of these languages to the kids.

All the duties are simple and easygoing and all the kids are smart and thoughtful.
