  Beschreibung

  ****We're currently looking for a couple who can help with domestic jobs, cooking, spending time with kids, gardening and some construction work*****
  
  We are an active and high energy outdoors loving family of five! Becca is a mother and a teacher as well as a lover of yoga, meditation, aware parenting (gentle and conscious parenting approach) and to be outdoors immersed in nature. Richie is a father and a civil engineer as well as a rock climber, surfer, tree planter and cyclist. Rua is a curious and fun loving boy of eight years old, he is highly sensitive and very energetic - because of this he needs encouragement to channel his energy outdoors and engage in physical activity. His happy place is in the water, swimming and surfing, rain or shine! Once Rua has expelled his energy he is also enjoys quiet time drawing, building lego, imaginary play or reading books. This rhythm of outdoor physical activity followed by a calming activity indoors is a really important in regulating his system. Rua attends the local Steiner Waldorf Primary School. Seamus a kind and considerate four year old boy who loves cooking, imaginative play, being outside in nature, reading books and building dens. Seamus will be starting in a outdoor nature based self directed learning community before his transition to Primary School. Finn is an outgoing, yet sensitive baby, with bundles of character and a love of being out and about taking in the colours, sounds and people that he meets. He's sociable, smiley, loves cuddles and loves sitting around the dinner table for our daily meals. Rua and Seamus love adventuring in the great outdoors, climbing trees/rocks/walls getting wet and muddy in the woods, exploring rock pools or roaming rocky landscapes in the Burren.
  
  Our parenting philosophy in the home is create connection not control, if they are having difficulty following instructions or listening to a request then instead of trying to control the behaviour or use punishments/rewards we use connection and empathy. We see the home as place of refuge for them, the world can be a harsh place so therefore we aspire to create a place of safety in the home, where they feel safe, seen and soothed. We see All behavior is communication - if a child is 'misbehaving' we look at what they are trying to communicate, what is it they need? In other words we try not to make them feel 'bad' but see the behavior as an unmet need. We encourage our children to fully release and express the rainbow of emotions that come with being human, home is their safe place to let out all of their 'big feelings' and never to be shamed for expressing sadness, anger or tears.
  
  It's important for people to note that our family is a busy one and there is plenty of energy that we aim to release in positive and exciting ways. This might take the the form of walks/scrambles through the countryside/woodlands or wild play where we scramble around the floor as clumsy monsters to help the boys get their energy out before winding down to bed. We try to use exercise and high energy activities, as well as quiet time and relaxing on the couch with games and books, in order to create connection with our children and to follow the natural rhythms that we experience as humans!
  
  Our house is on the outskirts of the lively market of Ennistymon which has plenty of shops, cafes, bars and entertainment options. We're about 8 minutes from Lahinch where there is a renowned surf beach, as well as a great leisure centre. We're about 10 mins drive from the UNESCO site of the Cliffs of Moher and 20 mins from Burren National Park, with endless hiking and walking opportunities.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We aim to give our workawayers the opportunity to explore the beautiful part of the world we live in as part of their stay with us. There are many local groups with people that go climbing, surfing, learning Irish, playing a variety of music including traditional Irish instruments, go foraging in nature, free diving, fishing and hiking the many coastal or Burren trails in our locality.
  
  Our family enjoys meals together daily and would welcome any guest into our home and family. We would like to share the experience of living on the wild west coast or Ireland, were the stunning natural world offers many opportunities for adventure and learning.
  
  One of the unique aspects of our community is that there is a really beautiful mix of locals and many "blows-ins" people from all around Ireland, Europe and the world! This offers plenty of opportunities to engage with and form connections in the community.

  Arbeit

  We are looking for someone to come and help us share the domestic responsibilities, such as cooking, shopping, engaging play with the children, school drop offs, light gardening work and generally to be able to help out at home. Cleaning and tidying is something we try to keep on top of daily so that it doesn't become a bigger job, this is something we would want anyone that lives with us to help with too.
  
  It's important that we would have someone that is comfortable with young children and babies. Its's certainly not the only part of the help we need, but an important element of it.
  
  Ideally we would have someone with a full driving license and we will provide a vehicle for you to use during your stay allowing the freedom to explore our beautiful part of the world on your own time.

  Unterkunft

  Our house is a spacious, comfortable, clean and light filled space. The bedroom for our work away person is private and spacious, has its own walk in wardrobe space, a large desk and a shower room. We have a large garden which is currently a blank canvas and we hope to spend more time working on as the children getting older. Our plan down the line is to get a polytunnel, chickens and get our hands dirty planting trees and creating wild flower garden.
