Description
Hi workawayers😊 we are a mother and daughter family looking for a workawayer to join us and help with basic household tasks like cooking and cleaning as well as childcare help (9year old). We have a beautiful, cosy , safe and warm home, you will have your own room. We are located in a beautiful scenic area of county roscommon between Carrick on Shannon and boyle, very close to lough key forest park and bluebell woods amongst other nature walks & parks.

Also there is a bus and train station just a 10minute drive which connects you to anywhere in ireland, Dublin- 2hrs, sligo 40mins, enniskillen 1hour, knock international airport 45mins. I am happy to drop you to bus/train on your days off. We are predominantly a vegetarian family but I can cater for meat eaters. I am a nutritionist so all meals are nutritionally balanced and healthy. I welcome someone with enthusiasm, who is genuine and honest, preferably for 1 month stay or longer. Also we have a puppy a little Yorkshire terrier so must be ok with doggies
We are a female house so female workawayers preferred. Days off can be fun filled with bike rides, hiking, boardwalks, lively tourist town with cafes restaurants theatre etc... bus & train links within 10mins.
