Hello,

We are Anaëlle (31) and Florian (30). We leave in a renovated old farm, in a friendly village very close to Chartres (1h from Paris).

We have a boy, Malo (6) who is a funny one, very curious and talkative and a girl, Automne (2 1/2) strongly independant but also very cuddly. We also have a baby, Elias (2 months) but you will not have to take care of him (except if you want some cuddles).
We'd like to host a person in our family because we want our children to understand other cultures and be familiar with English language (at least). We also want to return the favor for the opportunity we were given to experience, given that both of us were hosted in a British family when we were young. We also need a third person to play board games ;-).

If you accept to come live at our place, you will share our daily life like a member of the family. We will speak French so you can practice but we both understand and talk English. You will be with us when we go out on some activities, you will go on holidays with us... You will have your room (14m2) with everything you need to study, rest and be comfortable. You won't have to clean or cook (except if you want us to taste some specialties of your country, we'd love to). We'd like you to take the children to school (8h30 to 9h00), take care of children after school (16h30 to 18h30 mon-tues-thir-fri) and on wednesday (8h30 to 18h30). In exchange, we will pay you 400€ a month plus French lessons. On the weekend, you can stay with us or live your life as you wish (visit Paris for example).

We look forward to meeting you.

Anaëlle, Florian, Malo, Automne et Elias

We like to play bord games, to play music and dance with the children. Florian is a big fan of cinema, series and video games. Anaëlle likes to read books, play banjo and try to make something of the garden.
Malo is 6. He likes to make jokes. He is very curious and very talkative. He wants to be a paleontologist, athelte, artist and still run the farm when he will be a grown person so he told us he won't have time to have a wife. He plays rugby and piano on saturdays.
Automne is 2 (3 in may) but she is very independant and like to do everything by her own. She need a lot of cuddle. Like every little girl she loves to play with babies. She speak very well for her age.
They both love their little brother Elias who is 2 months.
