I need a room in Paris to stay there for some years - I would like to
find a possibility to get a room for free or for really low amount of
money (150 euros per month max) in exchange for help in the house or
in the garden. I am not a really good cook but I can make some simple
dishes.
As far as kids are concerned - no toddlers or babies only kids above 7
or teenagers - I speak french very well (I study french and
philosophy) so I can help with homework.
I can go shopping, I can clean, wash the dishes, maybe help in the
garden or arround the house.
I don't mind pets - I can even walk dogs and take care of them (cats,
dogs, birds...)

I am a girl in her twenties, student. It doesn't matter where in Paris
is this place it can be a room in an appartement or in a house or even
in a commune.

The reason I want to go is to study there. I am planning to go in
october 2004.

j_phillip, thank you:)) I've looked over the web sites - it is very
interesting!
Maybe I can find a family with not so young children or maybe I will
try to even find a job in Paris to work for my room - I guess I will
ask for help the google experts here, too:))
