Description
Hey there,
My name is Colm, I’m 38 years old, I live with Amelie my girlfriend and Martina who is renting a room in the house. We have a dog called Bella and a cat called Luna.
We have a nice house near the sea and Galway City and we are looking for somebody for one or two weeks asap. I want to give the house a deep clean. With a dog and a cat and a lot of people in the house, it could do with a deep clean and I don't have much time at the moment with work, so this would help me out. The atmosphere in the house is friendly and you will have plenty of time to see Galway and visit the surrounding areas.
I want somebody who actually enjoys cleaning and can get a good bit of work done in a day.
Otherwise I may ask for help with cooking, minding my dog Bella and possibly gardening.
The house is well located, very close to Salthill Promenade (the Atlantic Ocean) and walking distance to Galway City Centre.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
