Description
We are looking to welcome someone who is flexible, motivated and easy going, someone who can give us a helping hand with our 3 boys from the start of September onwards.
We are a family who love the outdoors, and we try and spend as much time outside.
Our boys love football/Soccer, swimming, cycling, playing outside, baking, reading books and doing arts and crafts.
At a minimum, we would love a stay of 1 month , starting in September however a longer period will work for us as well because it allows all parties a chance to really get to know each other.
Primary help would be
- Care for the boys after school and attend to some light housework a few hours a day.
- Cook boys dinners and afternoon supper
If possible a reasonable level of English would be wished for because we would like you to help our boys with their studies in the evening. All 3 boys attend primary school so therefore their studies would not be intense. This will also give you an opportunity to further your English skills and comprehension.
Tralee (our hometown) is a town with a population of approximately 30,000 people whereby 15% of its population are students. The University consists of a lot of Erasmus students so there are many different ethnic groups within our town.
Kerry is the tourist capital of Ireland and is extremely pretty with lots to do and see. It's a wonderful place if you are into the outdoors. The town has many cycling, running and hill walking groups along with easy access to beaches for water activities such as surfing, kite surfing, kayaking etc.
Most importantly we would like a flexible and a responsible person who wants to take on a new challenge and isn't afraid of helping out a busy young household.
