  Beschreibung

  We are a busy but (generally!) happy family of four - mum, Maria, and dad, Brian, with two girls - Maeve, aged 8, and Maia who turned 5 in September. We also have a cat called Cracker!
  
  We live in a spacious house in the countryside, 30 mins by car or bus from the vibrant Cork City. We are primarily looking for help with childcare and housework, for the helper to act as an extra pair of hands around the house and to integrate with and feel part of our family. We have an opening for FEMALE helpers who can stay for a minimum of two months (ideally three months or more) as it's disruptive for the children when new workawayers arrive or when people they have grown fond of leave.
  We are happy to facilitate the workawayer's social, cultural and sight-seeing trips as much as possible during their stay with us but we also encourage volunteers to use their time off and weekends to do their own thing and explore Cork and Ireland in general.
  Workaway helpers will have their own bedroom, bathroom and living area in our home during their stay with us.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Workawayers will gain an insight into Irish family life living with us! They will also have the opportunity to see a lot of Cork and the surrounding area. Maria has been a journalist for 15 years and now works in PR, so she meets a lot of interesting people and has a lot of information / stories to share. She often says she thinks she should have worked in tourism, as she loves going on trips and showing workawyers around!

  Arbeit

  We are looking for a female volunteer to help care for a fun 8 year old girl and her 5 year old sister, mostly in the afternoons. The girls are in school until almost 2pm and 3pm each day so workawayers have plenty of free time to study, exercise or just have time out in the mornings and evenings. Maria and Brian both work mostly from home so there is always someone around.
  Experience with and interest in children and a willingness to help out around the house is important for us. Volunteers will also have plenty of free time to travel at weekends and will also have the opportunity to go on occasional trips and outings with the family.

  Was noch ...

  We live in an area known as the Lee Valley, 30 mins from Cork City. Our home is located in tranquil countryside (great for walks) close to two small country villages, not far from the River Lee where there is access to boating, walking and fishing activities.
  We are only 15 mins from both the towns of Macroom and Ballincollig, which we regularly visit for shopping, and of course Cork City, which is known as the 'city of festivals', where there is always something happening, whatever your interests! We live close to the bus route to Cork City and Macroom but we're also happy to transport helpers to their destination when possible. However it is important for Workawayers to be as independent as possible during their stay with us.
