Descripción
Especially looking for carpenters. Need a couple/two for end Jan for three weeks. We are a happy international household with two children and a dog. We are ideally looking for a hardworking couple or two people as being in the countryside can be quite quiet if alone. Or a single individual with definite things they want to do and places to see.
So the primary volunteer help we need is cleaning/clearing/organising the house and working (weeding, shovelling leaves) in the garden. But if you are a specialist in something eg gardener, tree surgeon, carpenter, painter we will totally adapt tasks to you as you are rare! We ask for six hours a day four days a week and we provide all food and accommodation. This is a volunteer role.
You must be happy living in the countryside and be independent.

We usually all eat together Monday to Thursday evening when we cook. On the other days you can cook in your own kitchen for yourself. We provide you with information on things to do and places to go and drop you off centrally where possible. You are also welcome to join us on the trips we take with our kids. We also invite you to be independent and meet people yourself and explore. Research what you want to see before you come. Plan your weekends as transport in Ireland can be difficult.

Ayuda
Looking for helpers throughout the year on short term stays. We are renovating the garden and so would welcome some volunteers ( food and accommodation in exchange for 24 hours help) to help renovate the garden, clean the house, weed, plant.
We are looking for help in doing up the garden and helping on the organic plot which we have had no time to develop!
Help include - Gardening, planting, mowing lawn, painting fences, weeding, cleaning, carpentry.
- In the garden we would need help with weeding, planting, grass cutting, building fences. We tend to work with you on what tasks you would most like to do although at the moment, you may be working independently as we are both working during the day.
- We could also do with help with cleaning, organising, painting in the house
We ask for around 6 hours a day 4 days a week. You then have the other three days off.
In exchange you get all food and accomodation and we will drop you off locally within reason, if you don't have a bike or car. But we are not a hotel so you will need to be independent but at the same time respectful of our family time and our own work. The house and garden were abandoned around twenty years ago so there is tons to do. We can also accommodate someone more interested in cleaning, painting, up cycling, cooking etc. We can potentially accommodate all times of the year so drop us a line to see. We are around 1 hour from Dublin by bus, 2km walk/cycle/drive into clane. We can pick you up from Naas if you are coming from the airport or from Clane, anytime after 6pm.We look forward to meeting you!

We have two options and it will depend on the season and availability. Iif we don't have an au pair then accommodation is in the private studio (with small kitchen, bathroom, seating area and loft bed) in our garden. If that is not available we have a separate flat with bedroom, sitting room and bathroom etc. So when you contact us we can let you know which option is available. All are good, have TVs, wifi etc. The flat and studio are heated by wood burning stoves.
We are in Kildare around 2km from Clane, Kildare, Ireland which is around a 40 minutes drive from Dublin. We also provide towels and bedlinen. We all eat the evening meal together Mon to Thursday and we provide you with food for the weekend - so all food is provided.
