Hi, We're a French/English family from Normandy and we're looking for a physically fit, motivated volunteer with a strong work ethic who can come anytime from March onwards and and stay with us ideally for a couple of months to help with various jobs around our home and garden. We're looking for someone who is 'hands-on' and happy to work outside. Ideally, you'll have some experience in the following areas and an interest to learn more: - painting and decorating - fencing - gardening (rotavating, digging, pruning, weeding, planting, lawn work) Life is very busy and varied here on our dairy farm/B&B. You'll need to be fairly fit, not mind getting dirty or being outside and have a good sense of humour. If you like meeting people (we have lots of clients from all over the world in our B&B) and have a willing disposition, you'll fit in well. We have plenty of outdoors work to do this spring/summer, including painting lots of window/doors, gardening, fencing and general maintenance. We are looking for someone who does not watch the clock and is happy in a work-orientated, positive, 'go-getting' environment and who likes to unwind simply, with a nice meal and a glass of wine at the end of the day. In return for your help, we'll look after you as one of the family. You'll have a comfortable bedroom with your own bathroom, with free WiFi access and great food. You must be able to live in a busy, noisy household with children (5, 8 and 10), three cats and a crazy little dog! The dairy farm is our main business and if you are interested, there is the opportunity to learn about this too. Sorry, but we are unable to cater for special diets as we produce and eat our own meat, poultry and dairy produce. We do not allow smoking in the house or buildings. Other than that, we are easy to get along with and like meeting people and sharing stories. We look forward to hearing from you.

We are a happy, easy-going family looking for an au pair. We have 2 children aged 5 years (boy) and 7 years (girl). I work for a Swiss pharmaceutical company based in Cork. My husband is in Supply Chain for an American Electronics company. Our daughter Alyssa will be 7 years old in September & our son Joseph was 5 years old in June. Both are very happy, fun loving kids. We live in a detached house with a garden in Ballycotton, which has beautiful views of the sea. Ballycotton is a lovely fishing village that has a small beach but is also only a 5 minute drive from plenty of other beaches. It also has a wonderful Cliff walk that over looks the ocean. The large town of Midleton is only a 20 minute drive away & Cork City is 45 minutes drive away.

Hi All, I set up the hostel with my mum, Jan, about ten years ago. We based the place on our favourite backpackers' of Australia and New Zealand. We aim to provide what we always hoped to find when travelling. We would like to provide accommodation for one or two volunteers , asking 21 hours work each a week in exchange for a free bed. We have cooking facilities but don't provide food. As well as being honest applicants must be friendly social types as the happy atmosphere is our primary concern
