    Description

    Welcome as a volunteer in my home ! I need help with general maintenance, renovation and gardening in a nice house with swimming pool located in Nimes, close to many cultural and nature spots.

    I am a paediatrician, specialized in child neurology and working in Nîmes, at a private practice. I work a lot outside home but sometimes I work from home. Generally, I am not much at home during the day.
    My ex-husband was swedish, that's why we all speak swedish and english, as well as french at home. We lived in Sweden until 2010. As I work a lot, and have 2 dogs to take care of, I need help with my big garden (3000 m2) and house. I have a project to transform a part of the house into a wellfare center for children during 2024 and will need some hands to help with this transformation. My youngest son, Wilhelm (23) does not live at home any longer. He lives in Le Pontet, close to Avignon and works as a riding teacher in a UCPA owned riding school. He comes to visit us regularly, so you will probably meet him. My 2 other children: Alix (19) studies in Montpellier but comes back home during weekends and holidays; and Maxance (29) is living at home after having spent several years in Sweden. Maxance is handicaped with a neurocognitive and neuromuscular disease. He cannot help us with any activity but takes care of himself and does not need help with daily activities.

    This year, I need help with cleaning the garden, but may also,need help with taking care of the house, like cleaning or ironing. I can also need help with painting or renovating rooms in the house. As I am working all day, you must be prepared to work alone after receiving instructions.

    We eat organic and most of the time vegetarian food. We are used to food allergies, so it is no problem for us if you need special food.

    i practice a lot of meditation and spend sme time at a buddhist tempel every month. You might want to follow with me if you can and are interested.

    We are very curious about foreign cultures and love exchanging about many different subjects. We have had many successful workaway experiences and would love to continue receiving people from other countries as a substitute for traveling. We prefer to receive couples, if possible, but accept single workawayers as well. A minimum of 2 weeks stay is preferred before short stays.
