Description
We are a couple with one child living on beautiful Inishbofin Island in Connemara, Ireland. We own a small Eco- hotel on the island. We'd love someone to come and help entertain our friendly, fun loving daughter who is 16. She loves animals, drama, swimming, dancing, story telling. She also has Down Syndrome. She is very chatty and easy to get on with. We also have a dog, cats, cattle and sheep.

Help
We need someone for 4- 5 hours over day, 5 days a week, mainly to help mind and entertain our daughter. Ideally you will have experience of teaching children. We would like the summer to be a time where she can have fun while learning new skills from a new friend! She loves acting, singing, dancing, dressing up, swimming, stories and is crazy about animals. She would love to learn gymnastics, how to ride her bike, football skills, dance moves, stuff like that. She is very chatty and friendly but can be quite strong willed so some experience is essential.
