Description
Hello, my name is Mary Fenn. I live on the western road in Cork City with my husband, Dan. I have three children, two sons and a daughter. My sons and daughter have moved out but visit on occasion.
I am looking for someone to help us with jobs around the house and garden.
Many thanks,
Mary

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My husband and I are both fluent English speakers so we would be happy to help you if you are intending to learn/improve your English. We are very passionate about food in this house and can show you the local cuisine. We live very close to the city centre so you can immerse yourself in the culture cork city has to offer.
Help
The main areas of help that we are looking for are the following:
Gardening work, we grow our own organic vegetables, weeding, cutting the grass, planting seeds etc
Help keep the house tidy, hoovering, cleaning, sweeping the yard etc
Languages spoken

Accommodation
Our home is an old Georgian style house. The workaway will have their own large double bedroom with adjacent bathroom. The workaway will have access to the kitchen, and their own sitting room if they wish to relax in the evening.
What else ...
Our home is situated on the river, right across from the UCC campus. Cork city centre is a 10-minute walk away and there are lots of amenities on our doorstep. If you are interested in museums/galleries the Glucksman gallery is a few minutes away. UCC campus is right next door, there are lots of nice cafes, bars and restaurants close by that I can recommend. You won't be short of something to do. FItzgerald's park is a 3 minute walk away and there are a number of walks by which to explore.
