  Description

  We are a small Irish family living in a beautiful part of Ireland known as the Wild Atlantic Way.
  
  We live in West ~Cork. There is a lot of things to see and do if you love the outdoors and seeing sights we can provide you a fantastic base to see some of the best parts of Ireland !! We have four children under 12 and one dog his name is Max 🐶 we also have some chickens and two Kune Kune pigs called Rosie and Spotty! We have a lovely outdoor Sauna and cold plunge pool for your use aswell as wifi etc
  
  We need somebody to help with the children and the animals during the week as my husband and I work from home. We ideally need somebody who is flexible and can work with us to support us and the children.
  
  Usually our schedule is, during the week help with general household chores, help feeding and cleaning the animals (Its pretty easy and quick) and playing with the children.
  
  We also have to travel for work sometimes and would like for you to use the house as your own in return for looking after the animals.
  
  We also looking for someone to help with household renovations so if your a plumber, electrician, carpenter/ handyman get in touch!
  
  We would like you to be part of our family. Chipping in at dinner times etc setting the table, clearing away with us after we all eat!
  
  We are also currently refurbishing an old farmhouse so any handyman work you can do would be a bonus but not essential.
  
  A full clean drivers licence would be amazing! As we are happy to let you use our car (Insurance will be at your won cost). But isn't essential!
  
  We really need somebody reliable, trustworthy and flexible (as sometimes my appointments might change times) - we want to bring somebody into our family and for them to feel at home with ours, if this doesn't sound like you please dont contact us.
  
  We love camping and do this a lot we also live 5 minutes' walk from the beach and love spending time there! My son loves surfing! 🏄‍♀️ We love the outdoors and also love watching movies etc together.
  
  
  We have just returned to Ireland ourselves after travelling the world with our children for the last 6 years so know exactly what it’s like to be away from what you know and so try to help as much as possible with the things you need!
  
  WE WOULD PREFER COUPLES OR MORE MATURE APPLICANTS. IF YOU CAN BE FLEXIBLE THAT IS THE KEY!!! Also being INDEPENDENT and wanting to explore the area and Ireland would be great especially for August when the children and I are away you will have allot of free time!
  
  We need people to stay for easter as we are hoping to go away and so would need someone to stay and mind the animals, of course you would have free reign of the house whist we are gone!
