  Description

  We're a married couple with two young boys.
  
  Actually searching for someone for April until may 10
  
  For June-July-August 2024, ideally someone for the full summer, but we are open to consider shorter stays.
  
  We're located in a beautiful village near the St-Lawrence river: about 40 min east from Quebec City (we can bring you to the ferry if you want to visit the city for a week-end) with many great places around to visit (islands, beaches, parks etc.). We offer a private room with private bathroom with an intimate balcony that has an amazing view of the river and sunsets! We speak French and English at home.
  
  We expect around 5 hours of work per day at your rhythm with a flexible weekly schedule that we fix together and free weekends and evenings to enjoy the area. You can expect a mix of different tasks like : cooking meals, working in the garden or landscaping, spending quality time and playing with our 2.5 years old toddler, helping with some basic home maintenance and cleaning. We absolutely want someone with great love for children and good sense of responsabilities.
  
  We can teach many things about gardening, family life, food transformation and cooking etc. We're not a farm selling stuff outside ; we take care of our land to feed the familly, develop a good education for our children and enjoy the beauty of nature. We're catholics so don't be surprised if you see us pray together and be sure we'll be happy to receive you even if you don't share our christian faith.
  
  We like to have a video-chat discussion before taking any commitment, using whattsapp as been the best.
  
  We wish you the best with your workaway experience !
  Jonathan, Hannah and the kids.
