  Description

  We are a British family, living in the French Alps. We have two sons (9 and 10 yrs old) and a very loved, family dog (a fun, active and cheeky cocker Spaniel 11 yrs old). Our village is vibrant and attracts many tourists in the summer, who come here for mountain biking, walking and climbing. We have 2 swimming lakes near by and are around 1.5 hrs from Geneva.

  Help

  Ideally we are looking for someone who is active, outdoorsy and keen to help out with pet sitting/house sitting and some paid child care.
  
  We can provide separate accommodation in the village (studio with pool and tennis court) right next to the pistes (summer VTT tracks). We are looking for someone who can be here from late May to the end of August, however there will only be set weeks / days when we need help - so plenty of time to explore the area.
  
  We are happy to consider couples - main responsibilities will be to house and pet sit, whilst we are away (we can only leave our dog for a max of 4 hours, as he's grown used to always being with us and frets when left alone).
  
  Child care would be a bonus and this would involve some evening babysitting (paid) and potentially the odd over night stay. Ideally you will have a valid driving licence and can be insured on our car to help with the occasional pick up/drop off to clubs.
