Program Details

I can pick you up from Bedarieux train station, not anywhere else. But it is easy to get the local bus from Montpellier to my village.

It is very important that you understand that I am not obliged to provide 3 meals per day, but if I cook supper in the evening, then, of course, we will eat together. I do not always feel like cooking and sometimes I will be out with friends at mealtimes, so you need to be able to provide for yourself. You also need to be flexible about the program - some activities are harder activities than others - please speak to me if you are unhappy about something. I am very understanding.

Activities & Shift

You must help 5 hours a day minimum, preferably mornings and afternoons with an hour lunch break. I will need you to help me do breakfast over the weekends if there are guests, otherwise, your weekends are your own.

Rules

Please let me know if there is something that you are not satisfied with - but at the same time, this is my house and you need to abide by the way I live, not the other way around.
