Description
We are a family of four living in a village in Co Kildare, Ireland. It is just outside of Dublin city.
We have two boys, one aged eight and one aged 12 and are looking for someone who will help around the house. We would love someone playful and kind who has experience with highly sensitive children. Our eldest is currently in school and our youngest is homeschooled. My youngest loves playing, swimming, eating out, art, music, reading, maths, woodwork and sports and my eldest enjoys playing, fishing, football, gardening and sustainability amongst other things so skills in any of these areas would be helpful but not necessary.The most important thing is that you enjoy children and are happy to spend time with them discussing and playing if they wish. It would be particularly helpful if you have a driving licence as you can then help to bring them to their activities. We don't use our phones around the children and would ask you to do the same.
My background is child psychology and I am currently working as a forest school leader. I need some help with the house and maybe childcare while I am building my business. i have many interests including swimming, foraging, playing music, art, badminton, capoeira
We live in a quiet neighbourhood with a beautiful woodland walk beside the River Rye, less than one minute from our house. There are plenty of amenities close to us. The local shops are 5 minutes away and there is a sports centre fifteen minutes away by bicycle.

You will be happy to spend time with our children, play with them, possibly share your skills with them if that is interesting to you. Help around the house would be appreciated.
