Description

Hello!
Looking for a responsible and reliable volunteer? Here we are :)
We are looking forward to giving you a hand and discovering your way of living.
We are experienced helpers and house-sitters.

I am Cécile/Mum (42 years old), travelling with Adam (5) and Anna (3).
The 3 of us regularly volunteer at a local family centre.
We have already house-sat and pet-sat together.

I have been volunteering for as long as I can remember with local and international organisations (on farms, with marginalised social groups, at the local animal shelter, at my children's forest kindergarten...). I am also a workaway host.
I like plants, animals and people... and they usually like me back :)

I have plenty of love and care to give. Feeding and petting animals is a pleasure. And I don't mind shovelling manure or cleaning pet trays.
I will keep your plants alive and thriving.

Your home, animals and plants will be in good hands with me and my children.
