    Description

    We mainly need help for looking after our two boys Hugo (5) and Tiago (2,5). We live a high standard and spacious chalet in a rural village 10 minutes away from Switzerland. Train station is close by (8minutes) but we also provide automatic car. Now we have kids we travel less and love welcoming foreigners (Au pair included). We can speak French, English and Spanish. Frederic works in Switzerland in the watch making industry. Ornella is Yoga teacher and masseuse from home. We are happy to share our vegetarian diet and offer travelling advise.
