  Descrição

  Hello!
  
  We’re Natasha and Kev, and we’d love to welcome you to exchange some help with our twin toddlers, dogs, cat and large property, for accommodation in your own beautiful and private 2 bedroom gite, with super fast fibre.
  
  We were first drawn together by a shared love for the mountains, nature, and outdoor adventures. Now, we're having the most wonderful time introducing our curious twin toddlers to the beauty of this environment.
  
  We're looking for some support so we can work effectively from home and also find a little more time for ourselves as a couple.
  
  Our Family & Lifestyle
  We are an active family! We love hiking, trail running, mountain biking, and ski touring. We often share these activities with friends and family and would love to find someone who is motivated to join us on these adventures (and help us keep the toddlers safe and happy at the same time!).
  
  I work as a self-employed environmental consultant, which involves travelling 1-2 days a week. Natasha is a teacher who is currently completing her TEFL (Teaching English) qualification.
  
  Our Home & Location
  We live in a beautiful, large historic Grange (a converted barn) in the mountains, set on 3 hectares (about 7.4 acres) of land. It’s a very peaceful place with plenty of space and incredible views.
  
  We have three (holiday cottages), but are not operating them at the moment, so you will have your own space too.
  
  Our family also includes two lovely dogs and one fluffy Maine Coon cat who would love some extra attention and fuss.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Kev is from the UK and Natasha is from New Zealand; we are both working hard to get better at French, so the perfect fit for this role would be a French speaker who was looking to improve their English whilst we improve our French!
  
  Both Kev and Natasha are passionate about the outdoors, and spend much of our free time exploring the mountains and environment that surround us, by ski or snowshoe in the winter, and on foot or by bike in the summer. We would love to share or introduce you to our mountains and go on mountain adventures together. Kev is an International Mountain Leader, so very well placed to introduce new skills, lead us to the best places and keep everyone safe.
  
  We also really enjoy cooking and eating tasty / wholesome food from around the world. We would look forward to sharing our best meals with you, and being introduced to your favourite meals, when we share the cooking.

  Ajuda

  We are looking for a kind, energetic, and responsible Workaway who can truly become an extension of our family.
  
  Primary Role: Your main focus will be supporting us with our twin toddlers. We're looking for someone with a passion for helping young children develop safely through fun, exploration, and discovery.
  
  Driving: ideal you’ll be able to help with creche drop-offs and pick-ups.
  
  Pet Care: It would be a great help if you are an animal lover who could help care for our dogs and cat on the rare occasions we might travel with just the toddlers.
  
  House; help with cleaning, cooking, shopping and general "house sitting" whilst we are working or busy.
  
  Gardening; helping us make our beautiful garden/land, more beautiful (depending on the weather, season and only if you enjoy gardening!)
  
  The "Icing on the Cake": Our ideal person would be active and interested in the outdoors (running, hiking, etc.). This would create so many opportunities for you to share in our life beyond just the household.
