You'll stay in your own private guesthouse, giving you your own space to relax and enjoy the French countryside. In exchange for approximately 20 hours of help per week, you'll support me with growing The HummingBee, my international pregnancy and mama retreat business. I am the founder, but I am also a Doula, Childbirth Educator and Hatha and Prenatal Yoga teacher.
We can provide lunch on working days and share dinner from time to time. We're a busy family with two young girls and our own work, so we won't always eat together or be available to socialise. We're happy to share a meal, play a board game, show you around or do an activity together when it works for everyone.

**rules:**
We live in the countryside with our two young daughters. We've both travelled extensively around the world, both independently and together, and love meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures. We're happy to share our local knowledge, have a chat, play board games or occasionally do something together.
At the same time, we respect each other's privacy and personal space. You'll have your own guesthouse, and we ask you to respect our family time and let us know in advance if you need anything. We value open communication, mutual respect and a relaxed atmosphere.
We embrace a sustainable, plant-based lifestyle and try to make thoughtful choices in our everyday lives, with a love for nature, reducing waste and living a little more simply. If you enjoy green surroundings, a slower pace of life and a conscious way of living, you'll probably feel at home here.
