Childminding in Bandon County Cork, Ireland

  Description

  Hello,
  we are Matthias, our daughter Tilda, our little dog Momo and me, Eva. We emigrated from Germany to Ireland four years ago and have been living in Cork ever since. We live in Bandon, in a house with a garden, not far from West Cork and the sea. Bandon is a well connected town and there are many things to do from here.
  
  We love to eat and cook, meet friends, try to spend a lot of time in nature, at the seaside or at my parents cottage in Co Clare, which we are currently renovating on weekends off.
  
  At the moment my husband and I have a lot of work and for our daughter Tilda (4.5 years) we are currently looking for a bit of support. She is a very independent girl who loves to play role games, do crafts, be at the beach and go to the playground. It is very important for us to raise our daughter to be a confident person who knows what her needs are, how we can be empathetic with each other so that everyone has space and feels valued.
  It would be great to have support for 4-5 days a week, so I can work too on some afternoons. In the morning time she is usually going to pre school for 3 hours and it would be a big help if you can do a pick up or drop off too. Full driving license needed.
  It would also be great if you could help out a bit in the household and garden if needed and help to prepare the family meals.
  
  We prefer to have someone around for a longer period, from 6 weeks - 3 months.
  
  We look forward to your enquiry and would be happy to tell you more about us in a phone call :)
