==============
Looking for help immediately.
==============
Please no requests for anything further than 6 weeks in advance.

Please note:

I prefer having people 21 years +
You must have a good level of English so that you can communicate at conversational level.

I prefer to host for 1 month minimum.

I'm a 40yr old Irish lass with two kids 12 and 14yrs old. Divorced from their Dad and he lives abroad. I moved back to Ireland 7 yrs ago and we're living in the very scenic and popular tourist destination of Killarney. I'm a physical therapist and work from a clinic beside the house.

Kids will be in school Mondays - Fridays so mostly need help for when they come home from school at 2.30pm and 4pm although help would be needed from a little earlier to prepare lunch/dinner so it is ready for when they arrive in from school. My schedule can vary on some days though so I need someone who is open to being flexible.

They need help with their homework and then just to spend time with them playing, being creative and having as much fun as possible!

My hours can vary a little in the clinic but mostly:
I plan to work in the clinic Tuesdays and Thursday from 4pm - 9pm and Wednesday and Fridays 8.30am - 2pm.

The most important thing for me is to have someone that genuinely loves kids and wants to play and engage with them. This task rates highest above anything else! Someone who is happy to be active, play soccer, go to the park but is also happy to sit in on rainy days and create arts and craft projects, play board games or lego, play music or basically anything to make the day a little fun! I'm also looking for general help around the home with basic cooking and cleaning.

My kids are older now and often busy doing their own thing especially in the summer but I'd still like someone who can engage and hang out with them.

Happy to host couples or 2 friends also who will share a room and share duties between them.

Summer:
I have a large yard and garden which needs help with especially in the summer months, which is why I would prefer to have a couple to help with both kids, and garden and house duties. (summer months) There are many tasks that need to be done here such as mowing the lawn, strimming overgrown grass, weeding, cutting back hedges etc. Everything is quite easy and simple if you don't have experience, it just takes time which I don't have!

We're a very easy going and flexible family who have hosted workaways and for years and have been workaways ourselves so it's a fairly laid back atmosphere.

We love the outdoors and being active but also on rainy days to sit around playing card games and chill out :)
Also we have 2 pet rabbits, so you need to be ok with 2 fluff balls running around the house at times :)
We have 2 mini hamsters also.

Was noch ...
We live in Killarney which is a town and a tourist hub surrounded by beautiful lakes and mountains in southern Ireland. It's also close to other popular areas such as Cork, Limerick, and Tralee so its a great base to see some of the most popular areas in the south and west of Ireland on your days off. I use workaway myself also to travel so I love to meet new people and find out their stories also. You'll have a private room in our family home and we're located centrally in the town.

Vom Workawayer (Alita) für Host

Elaine took me in for my first ever workaway experience and I cannot imagine having a better time. Forever the best 3 months of my life. This family is incredible. Elaine, Callum, Naoise and Martin made my stay in Ireland absolutely incredible. I miss them already and cannot wait to go back and visit as soon as I can <3

Elaine is HILARIOUS, warm,… read more welcoming, super easy going, and a super hard-working mom who absolutely adores her kids. She is incredibly generous and fun, and takes the kids on lots of spontaneous adventures when she can, that she always invited me to join. She was really kind about giving days off to explore different areas/ see other cities and to visit friends/ family. Also she’s super fun to go out with and is an EPIC dancer after a few pints teehee ;)

The kids are absolutely wonderful, kind-hearted goofballs. Naoise ( 13) and Callum ( 10) are very accustomed to workawayers in the home so they were friendly and welcoming and we all got along great from the start. Callum and I spent a lot of time outdoors skateboarding, playing in the parks, on the trampoline and with their outdoor games. Naoise is super chatty, likes baking (dangerously good cakes- look out they’re addictive), super artsy, and likes making videos and hanging with her friends.

Martin is the other workawayer in the house, who works in the clinic with Elaine. He’s now a friend for life and I got to experience a lot of Killarney’s nightlife because of him and his wonderful group of friends there. He’s also super great with the kids and willing to help out with them whenever!

The work is super straightforward, you get weekday mornings to yourself and weekends off. Start prepping food around 1/1:30 for the kids to eat around 2:30 after school. Help with their homework - mostly Callum, Naoise usually gets it done on her own. Then help prep them for any activities they have that afternoon, walk them there and pick them up or hang out / play with them. They get an hour daily of electronics and then some tv time - usually would use that time to prep their school lunches for the next day and cleanup. In the evenings, you’ll clean the physio clinics (an easy, quick job) . Then just general cleaning around the house, whatever you see that needs to be done. There’s always something to do :)

The house is in THE BEST location. It’s at the end of the main street in the centre of town, but far enough away to not hear the noise of the busy nightlife. You’re walking distance from everything in town and the National Park trails, hikes, and views are all just a bike ride away. GORGEOUS places in every direction to explore! There are also many other workawayers around the area, so easy to meet up and meet other travellers close by.

You'd be super lucky to spend time with this amazing family - cannot recommend them enough and can't wait to go back and visit them<3 MISS YOU GUYS! xo
