We like music , cinema, concerts,board games, walks,cooking, swimming, skiing, reading,live shows, history, cycling ( not Guillaume !), DIY and crafts ,spending time in hammocks in the garden, barbecuing food in the garden
( making tables and chairs with pallets ) and cooking fresh food,( off to the local market every wednesday ) .

Ce projet peut impliquer des enfants. Pour en savoir plus, consultez nos directives et conseils ici.
By living with the family and joining activities , meeting local people and getting to know everyone in the town . By having contact with the local population and participating in cultural projects .
By not being a tourist , but an actual french resident for a few months .
You can learn to cook french and alsatian cuisine, taste wines, go for walks on the mountain and in the forest , practise sports , watch films in french or english ....
list of former 'added family members" available upon request for contacts .
Due to covid and being at the centre of crisis , we've had to abandon workaway for a while as we're not sure about how our state treats the people staying with us .
you may understand that we don't accept people in the house before jan 2021 for their own safety as Shayne ( from NZ , who had been with us for a year, was denied visa extension ) is still fighting to get a visa in france
Since the kids are older, this is not about childcare , but living with us and being a third adult in the household ....
for ex : ensuring presence in the house up to 2 evenings a week on average ( til 8.45pm max) , help cooking and cleaning ( we clean together , not just you ) Joining activities during the week, helping with projects, practicing sport , playing music, getting involved in local life .
We expect reactivity, initiative, creativity, enthusiasm and flexibility . Floppy, couch potato or not wanting to move , pls choose another profile !
Being a role model and a helper to broaden our children's horizons is also an aim .
we speak French in the house . Everyone understands English .
Lots of perks and free time if efficient .
We'll provide help for learning french, english or spanish, activities,concerts and events, walks, visits and sports.
non smoker pls ( we mean it )
Would appreciate minimum stay 3 , up to 6 months but also shorter stays if you want to participate to English training at the airport .
Our aim being to integrate you into local life and activities and make you visit France ,Switzerland and Germany since we're at a European corner . Also useful if you want to progress at languages .
While being with us , you can visit the places around and there are lots of things to do .
You'll help us , and also volunteer for activities at the local cultural centre ( up to 3 hours a week in either conversation sessions in English or helping kids group, various activities to choose from to help ) and get a free activity in return
( dance, pottery class, gym,yoga,djembé, cooking,woodworking, etc ) .
As we also volunteer in Nepali charity supporting schools in Nepal , your help would be appreciated during festivals or to help sorting craft, giving ideas for marketing, being present at markets ( one hour a month on average, but more activity around christmas markets in December) .
We live near Basel-Mulhouse Euroairport ( 90 destinations low cost airlines so you can spend weekends all around our place ) .
We're not looking for an employee , nor a hotel guest ! there is a medium in living family life and being committed with having freedom ( individualism and lack of empathy don't help much)
Reasonable use of internet/mobile phones appreciated.
If your idea of staying in a foreign country is to be hooked to your mobile or playing video games , pls consider other options .
We like watching films but try to educate our kids to live with humans.
Ideally over 23 for car insurance reasons .
We've had people staying with us since 2003 through various schemes or websites .
Interested ? Contact us , we'll skype ( weekend at our place if you're in Europe so you can see for yourself )
not interested ? just let us know, a 'no' 's never scared us and it's nice to get an answer ...
