Work abroad in Marion's family for 5-12 Months starting from Apr 2023 as an Au Pair and Nanny to take care of 1 children of 1 - 5 years old in Chamonix-Mont Blanc, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes France

Hello!

We are Marion, Balthazar and Aura. Aura is our daughter. She's going to be a year old in March - time flies!

If you're a caring person and that you get energy from being surrounded by nature, we would love you to join our family for a few months.

We moved to Chamonix from Paris a few months ago. Chamonix is a small town in the middle of the highest mountain range in Europe. It's very international and attracts skiers, mountaineers, climbers and trail runners year-round. It's considered the world capital of mountaineering, and we can see the Mont Blanc (Europe's highest peak) from our doorstep. Chamonix is quaint and historical but also buzzing with sports events, festivals, and cultural events. We live about 20min farther up the valley from Chamonix, in a small village called le Planet (there are about 15 houses here). It feels like it's in the middle of nature, but it's also only a 3min drive or 20 min walk to Argentière, the nearest "center" - with a bakery, supermarket, a few restaurants and bars, and the famous Les Grands Montets mountains & ski resort.

We both love the outdoors and we wanted to move to a place where we could spend entire weekends exploring nature, so that's what we do most weekends. Balthazar grew up climbing trees in the French countryside, and Marion spent a few years in the US as a child (Texas and Arizona) then some more time in California more recently.

We both have remote jobs (we work with people all over the world, from our computers). Balthazar created a small company that he runs from home, and Marion runs the legal department for a big French start-up called Alan (health insurance).

Our house is a historical mountain chalet with a lot of character. We love to host friends and family there, so we keep a spare room for our guests. You would be fully independent, as you would be living in a studio in Argentière, about a 3min drive or 20min walk from our house. Argentière is a 20min bus or train ride to Chamonix-center. You would be free to do what you please with your free time, and of course we would do our best to connect you with interesting people and whatever activities you would like to explore. We'd also support you as much as needed and always make sure you are safe. We really want to help you enjoy your time in France and make the best of our beautiful surroundings.

As Marion grew up in the US, Marion is fully bilingual. We speak French at home, but we would really like you to speak English with Aura. If learning French is one of your goals, we're happy to help you and speak French with you!

We also have family in Paris, Marseille and London, and would love to give you the opportunity to join us when we go there every so often.

Please reach out only if you are very excited by this opportunity and let us know why!
