Description
I have a cottage style bungalow in the west of west Kerry with an acre surrounding including two polytunnels and love to grow my own food. I'm also a musician and yoga teacher and teach languages in the local school sometimes.
My son is 5 next year and my daughter is 5 months. We live close to various beaches and are nestled between two mountains. I have a guard cat who's name is Cleo.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Dingle is a sought after tourist destination with a host of beaches and mountains around... islands off the coast and amazing vierws-one of the most popular scenic routes in Europe is just around the corner. There's plenty of traditional Irish music in the pubs and you'll have plenty of leisure time for walking, swimming hiking reading and whatever else they'd like to do in the locality. I speak Irish often with my children and welcome other languages be introduced to them early

Help
I would like to take a teaching job for 4 months from January-may so require someone loving and nurturing to spend time with my daughter while I'm out. Preferrably someone who can drive and is happy to help around the house too. They will have plenty of leisure time for walking swimming hiking reading and whatever else the'd like in the locality

Accommodation
I have a small one storey house. There's an open plan area onto the two bedrooms. A wood burning stove and a separate lounge room on to the kitchen. Accomodation would be in the spare bedroom for the winter months and potentially in a caravan for the summer. We can either share cooking meals or do it separately depending on food preferences etc. I eat mostly vegetarian-vegan-organic.
What else ...
For me I'd be grateful for someone willing to integrate into family life while they're here but with the freedom to enjoy their free time and independence too. There's a local link bus which goes just outside my door but I'd prefer someone to come who has their own car as I may need help with driving kids around. I hope to offer a relaxed atmosphere where people can take their own initiative, have clear boundaries, respect each others space and practice good communication
A little more information
Internet access
Limited internet access
We have pets
We are smokers
Can host families
Can host digital nomads
You can use my wired internet and modem but I'd prefer no Wifi or hot spotting in my house especially around my children-keeping radiation at a minimal is a priority-so that includes fit bits, phones and any other smart technology or EMF emitting devices. These will be banned and replaced by good old fashioned wired internet which is quite good here.
Space for parking camper vans
Someone eith a motorhome is very welcome and would be in fact ideal! I have an electric shower and toilet you'd obviously be welcome to avail of.
