    Description

    HELP NEEDED END OF MAY/JUNE.

    We are a French couple Maud and Sébastien with 2 girls. Lily is 6 years old and Loïse is 3.5 years old. We live in Chambery, in the South East of France in the Alps. We are French but Maud speaks English to the girls and to Seb whenever the girls are around. We both work -except Wednesdays for Maud. Loïse started nursery school in September in the mornings only and Lily goes to school all day.

    We have travelled a lot before having the girls (Australia, India, Central America and South East Asia) and we’ve done lots of workaway/ volunteering everywhere we went, always loved it and only had great experiences. Now that we have settled in a house and built a family our goal is to keep up with our level of English and even if we travel less we’re still interested in cultural exchange. We try to host twice a year in automn and in spring.

    We try to limitate our impact on the environment by :
    - eating fresh food local, seanonal and organic. We eat fish and meat but not everyday.
    - biking or walking whenever possible
    - saving energy ( turning lights off when not needed...)
    - using water wisely (short showers...)

    We will share our daily way of life and we'll be happy and do our best to show you around. We are very busy because taking care two young girls is time consuming but we are also very active and always looking for fun things to do, especially at weekends.

    We are looking for 1 person, a native English speaker, interested to play with our kids and help around the house with whatever needs to be done / daily chores.
    We are looking for someone energetic easy going and quick to connect with kids. The idea is to spend quality time with them : playing with them, reading talking/asking them questions as much as possible so they practice speaking English.

    Help will mainly include: playing with the kids and cooking but it can also include cleaning, gardening, painting when needed. We offer food and accommodation in exchange of a maximum of 5 hours of work, 5 days a week.

    Loïse has started school but only in the morning so we will need help to pick her up for lunch and watch her during her nap until we get back for maybe 3 days a week. The other days it will probably be housework and spending time with the girls. Everyday will be different, so we will tell you the day before what we expect.

    If you want to learn French, it is not the right place as we will want to speak English only.
    Ideal time stay 2 to 3 weeks.
