    Description

    Hello !
    I am 42 year-old, have 4 children (2 boys of 15 and 11, and 2 girls of 7 and 5).
    I'm looking for an ideally English nayive speaker to help me with the girls in July (from 5 to 15 July approx) in Vendée (plage du Veillon, near Talmont-Saint Hilaire). If we get along well, there's a possibility to continue until July 31st, this time in Burgundy.

    In Vendée (my father’s house), from the house, you can easily walk or ride a bike to the nearest village (Port Bourgenay). You can walk to the beach. But there isn't much to visit in the area other than that, so it would rather be a relaxing beach holiday, unless you have a car. The house is large and lovely. I'm looking for an outgoing person, well-behaved, resourceful, cheerful, proactive, comfortable with children but also with grown-up conversation !

    I would need approx 4 hours of help a day in the afternoon, for example from 6 pm to 10 pm (to help with bath time, dinner time and bed time of the girls).

    In Burgundy, it’s my mother’s house, she's a wine grower and also a keen gardener (Jardins de la Bouthiere). They produce crémant de Bourgogne, vin blanc, so anyone with an interest in wine making might learn a lot while there !

    We look forward to hearing from you!

    Marie her kids : Gaspard, Augustin, Iris, and Eve

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    We live speaking "Frenglish", mixing the two languages and learning lots of words along the way.

    In Vendée, the house is full of books and history. There's a piano.
    It's a good spot for kitesurfing (le Veillon). We live a very relaxed life there and would love to have an extra guest joining in the conversation.
    We would love to exchange cultural and language tips.


    In Burgundy, there's a lot for you to learn about wine making, gardening, and sculpture. There are lots of beautiful castles and churches nearby to visit, but the house itself is worth the trip.

    When it's not the holidays, we live in Bretagne, so crêpes might be on the menu more than once:-)
