We are a french family of 6 (4 children, 2 parents). The property where we live is quite big (2 ha), in the open country, near a beautiful public forest. There's animals (chicken, rabbits, llamas, goats, pigeons, cats, salamanders), a bid vege garden, but it's not a farm. We both work outside, but not all the time. I'm a teacher, my husband work in a dance company. So he's often away.

Area: Tuscany

A working organic farm producing Chianina cattle, honey, olive oil and white truffles. We also have three restored farmhouses nestled into the woods throughout the 500 hectare property that we rent to tourists from all over the world. Three families live on the farm, all of which either have small children or will very soon. While you will spend most of your time with Kyre (originally from California) and Ivano (originally from Sardinia and Milan) and our two little ones, your apartment will be in the same house as Mary (Germany) and Francesco (Tuscany) their lovely son and happy truffle dog Bobi. Owner Guido, along with Tina (and baby X, arriving in June), comes down from Florence a few days each week. It is a captivating place with loads of wildlife. Aside from our cows, pigs and poultry down at the farm you can expect to have nightly sightings of wild boars, crested porcupines, owls and deer.

We are a family run charming B and B in the lovely town of Westport in the West of Ireland. We have a little boy who is nearly two years old. Our B&B is one of the oldest in Westport and is located in the centre of the town. We are lucky that we have a large garden running alongside the river. We are looking for help from April until end of September. The work would be helping with cleaning of rooms in the b&b, helping with breakfast and with guests. It would involve working approx 5 hours a day 5 days a week. This would be a great opportunity to live in a fantastic town that is a buzz with activity all Summer, with art festivals, music festivals, trialathons, marathons and trad music. The town is based in the West of Ireland and is famous for Croagh Patrick, great beaches and islands to explore, surf, the great western greenway for cycling and on the doorstep of beautiful conemara.

My husband and I have lived here in France for just over 4 years. We have 2 young children, Kara & Zack, 3 and 18 months. And also 2 cats! We love living in the countryside and our house is right in the middle of a field. We love gardening and growing our own vegetables. We think that we are very lucky to live somewhere so beautiful and rural. Our house is quite big and we always have things that need doing in the house and garden and it's hard for us to find the time to get big jobs done as our children are so young and demanding of our time. We hope to find people who are enthusiastic and willing to come and join our family and help us to make our home even more special. The weather here is usually good and we have a lovely pool to swim in during the hotter months.
