  Description

  ** Looking for an English speaking workawayer Nov 15th - December 15th **
  
  Hello!
  
  We are a French & Canadian family living in the countryside, in the French Alps. I am a widowed mum with two children aged 9 (Marcel) and 11 (Sophia), we love outdoors, nature, literature, friends, music (we have a piano and guitars) and adventures. I aim for a fun and simple life with my children. We live in the country side, in a village called Miribel-Les-Echelles with 1,800 inhabitants, located in the mountain range of Chartreuse, between Chambéry and Grenoble. Our house is a "maison dauphinoise" that we are finishing renovating. It has 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a big 2000 sqm garden. We are on the edge of the village and nature starts right from our backyard.
  
  I am looking for an English speaking workawayer to speak English with my ids (they are bilingual, their father was from Vancouver Canada) who is reliable, fun, and handy to help me with some renovation in the house and gardening/tidying up projects. He/she will also need to baby some times and help with cooking/cleaning.
