We are a loving family living in beautiful rural East Cork with views of the harbour, near Cork City. Vinnie, the dad, works in Poland a lot of the time and I Anne, the mum, am at home with our three children: Isaac 8yrs, Joseph 6yrs and Eve 3yrs - she started preschool this year. I also mind another family of three after school for a couple of hours. Life is busy so I would love a bit of help with the kids and the house. Aghada is a beautiful village on the coast. Our house overlooks the sea, there's loads of local beaches and things to do. We're about half an hour's drive from Cork City.
