Join our lively family in Sarlat-la-Canéda, France

  Descrição

  We are an energetic French-Australian family of 5 (four girls aged 11yo, 9yo fraternal twins, and a 6yo, and me, Jennifer). We also have a lively Australian Shepard x Border Collie puppy who lives outdoors.
  
  We live in an modern, passive eco home on 14 hectares (about 35 acres) of land, consisting of a small orchard, lots of native woodland, some pasture, our house, and the original farmhouse. We live just outside the medieval walled city of Sarlat in the picturesque Dordogne region.
  
  The main focus for help is in an au pair capacity as I am a young widow. I’m looking for help around the house and spending time with my girls.
  We also have ongoing activities on the land, including fruit and berry picking (seasonal); gardening and land maintenance; and wood cutting.
  
  All of the kids will be at school during the day, so the help required is more in the afternoon/ evening.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We are a bilingual family and you will be warmly welcomed into our brood. You will have the opportunity to practise your French or English - or enjoy comfort in communicating in either. The girls are fully bilingual and I can hold a conversation in French.
  
  In working with us you will have the opportunity to participate in our close family environment, help with trying to tame my small garden, and gain experience in childcare.

  Ajuda

  If you are motivated and eager to be part of the family then you’re a long way there.
  
  My girls are resilient, positive young humans, but I am finding the daily responsibilities of cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing without a pause and without a driver’s license a bit overwhelming.
  
  I am looking for help around the house re tidying and organising, sharing in the preparation of meals, and some time spent with the kids - be it playing with them inside or outside, creative play, or generally helping out when they get home from school (about 17:00).
  
  I may need help with driving my girls to an appointment, for example, and I have a car with multi-driver insurance you can use for that. However, it would be better if you have your own car for personal use.
  
  Help would be no more than 25 hours a week with weekends off.

  Acomodação

  Accommodation for one or two people is a room in our house which is equipped with its own shower and basin/ mirror. It can be accessed through the house or directly from outside. There is a double bed to sleep on and space to put belongings.
  
  Meals (especially dinners) are family time. I am the sole vegetarian in the house, but I make a combination of meat and vegetarian meals.

  Algo mais...

  Sarlat has a bustling market in the historic town centre every Saturday and Wednesday - the largest in the region. You can access the town centre and other surrounds from our house by bike or on foot. There are many beautiful cycleways along the banks of the river for you to explore. We have both electric and standard bikes you are welcome to use.
  
  Our house is about a 10-minute drive from the Dordogne River, which is great for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and sunbathing in the warm months, and for taking stunning pictures in the colder months.
  
  The Dordogne area of France is known for its many prehistoric sites and caves, including the renowned Lascaux Caves, Les Eyzies, Castel Merle, and Rouffignac Cave - all of which are an easy drive from our house. Ideally you will have your own car for exploring.
