  • Description

    Description

    We are a friendly English family who have been living in France for the past five years. As a busy working family, we’re looking for an individual or couple to join us and help with the day-to-day upkeep of our home.
    The help is varied but straightforward and includes basic gardening, pool maintenance, painting, simple DIY, and other general outdoor and household tasks. No specialist skills are required—just a practical attitude, willingness to help, and enjoyment of working outdoors.
    In return, you’ll have your own private accommodation with two bedrooms and a bathroom, giving you plenty of space and privacy.
    We live in a beautiful, lively village in the Dordogne, with shops, cafés, and other amenities all within walking distance. There are other young people nearby, and the area is perfect for exploring, with rivers, markets, vineyards, and countless places to visit. Bergerac and Périgueux are both just 30 minutes away.
    We’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, easy-going, and happy to become part of family life while also enjoying their own independence. We’d love to share our home, language, and culture and welcome people from around the world. ☀️

    Type of help we’re looking for:
    We’d love someone who can encourage us with everyday conversational French and give the children a hand with any tricky homework. Light household help, such as the occasional hoovering, mopping, or laundry, would be greatly appreciated, as well as sometimes collecting the children from the village. Mostly, it’s about lending a hand where needed and helping us keep the home running smoothly in a relaxed and friendly way.
