Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It's a mystery to me. It really is. How can such an offer result in such vitriol?
Flaine_Skier is right about the L permit. Just FYI, I have on many occasions shipped non-Swiss nationals into CH (at their request, or course!) so I do know a little bit about it.
If I didn't have: a company to run, two dogs to care for, oh, and a girlfriend I would definitely put my name in the Mix.

Out of interest, how would you deal with someone that didn't live up to their expectations? Normal Swiss employment law allows an employer to release an employee relatively easily (my last boss was Swiss so explained this to me once). As you are not officially employing the person you would presumably not have these rights.
Therefore someone could apply, do nothing, and could probably remain a house guest until their 90 days in the country expire and you could do nothing about it.

Never happend, so I dont really know,
As None of my guests are employees ??, in principal this applies to any guest I have to stay.
Presumably common sense would prevail.
Maybe I would call Masque

spud, geeo, the difference is we are talking about Switzerland a nation who do not tolerate foreign nationals being in thei country for more than 12 weeks without a work or residency permit.
Neither of which come with the job on offer.
I'ts illegal - that's the difference!
And yes I have worked in Switzerland - with a work permit

How does the legality differ from a conversation in the Pub to a converstation in a forum. The end result is the same.
Either way people have have to respect the length of time they stay in a country, depending on their personal circumstances.
There are various options for people who wish to stay longer than 90 days but depends largely where you are from and how much hassle you want to go through.
In the worst case 90 days is enough to still feel like a season for most people.

Its a never ending mystery, peculiar only to some grumpy snowheads.
I try not to take it personally.

I think I read this last year, and the year before, and the one before that...
Come on people, if you don't like it, don't read it.

I would defiantly go for it if I didn't have 18 mth twin boys....... and if your family required close protection and a qualified A&E nurse in the mix, then my wife and I would be perfect. 
Go for it guys that can!!!

Ade57, will be interesting to know whether you receive a reply. I have no particular objection to advertising for live-in chalet staff (the forum's policy on advertising is nothing to do with me) provided it's not misrepresented as "free accommodation" or "free skiing". It's a job involving an unspecified numbers of (long) days cooking, cleaning, laundry, snow-clearing, shopping and child-minding for which people will be paid in kind, with accommodation. It's impossible to know whether it's a good offer or a bad offer without being able to put some numbers on it, including the opportunity cost of people's time.
As someone who very regularly shops and cooks for friends and family visiting my apartment in the Alps, and has also (paid) cleaning for other apartments on change-over I have an informed idea of how much time it takes to do that job well. It's a pleasure to do for people you love and whose company you enjoy, but it's still work!

Maybe its jealousy.
Or the fact you might be the Fred West of ski holidays?

you are making it up

well, I'm speaking from my own experience - with visitors I find I am usually unloading the dishwasher and thinking about breakfast from about 0730 (assuming they are the sort of people who like to get out onto the slopes early) and loading the dishwasher again after dinner at about 9 pm. Your set up, and expectation, might be entirely different but as you never give us any information to go on, we have little choice but to "make it up", do we? Or just ignore your thread entirely, which I generally do these days unless particularly bored.

I have edited this post as on reflection felt it unfair.

FAQ
Im sure theres a very reasonable explanation as to why we've never heard back from anyone who's done a Season for/with him!
