*we are full until September, looking for someone who can help out for a few months or more from September*
==================
Hi there, we are a family of 3 (Rose 31, Owen 36 and Ailsa 2) living on a farm just outside the village of Clogher, which is in county Tyrone in Northern Ireland. The farm was originally Owens grandparents, we are slowly restoring the land with an interest in regenerative agriculture. There are quite a few acres of land, we have planted a few thousand trees in the last year, there are also sheep and goats at the moment and one dog who lives in the house and one who lives outside.
Owen is currently working during the week as a manager of a heritage centre, he is blacksmith by trade, and knows a few other crafts. At the moment I'm at home on the farm mostly with Ailsa. We go out a few times a week for adventures and to meet up with others.
I love all things to do with home steading and DIY living. I've lived in a few different places in the UK, and have had an interest community living for some time. I have many passions, at the moment it's cycling, hiking, crocheting, natural building, painting, growing food....Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

-is interested in raising children with love, gentleness and clear boundaries. Likes to be affectionate with children (our little one is very tactile)
-loves to help with cleaning/cooking and the running of an efficient house, can use initiative and read between the lines what needs to be done
-enjoys working on creative projects (we are really creative family and love to share and learn different arts and crafts)
-wants to learn more about living with the land, regenerative agriculture, sustainable living....we are very much learning as we go along....
-can follow the childs lead mostly but knows how to provide dynamic and creative activities when necessary
-enjoys being home based during the week with the odd adventure here and there.
-enjoys working together and comfortable with working alone :-)
