Description
Last minute update:
Help is needed in the garden and housekeeping mostly.
We will host a Spanish teenager for a 6-month immersive stay so we won't accept Spanish speaker untill August 2026.
We are a family with 4 kids (from 10 to 16 yo). We live in the south-west of France, close to the Pyrenees. You will have your own bedroom and bathroom. You could train the kids with English or Spanish, organize activities for them, help with gardening and general maintenance. We speak French, English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and I am learning German and Japanese. We would like to improve these languages as well.
We've been practicing homeschooling for years but from September 2024 all of the boys are going to school. -
