Hi!
I live in a small coastal town in Belmullet, County Mayo. Primarily I need your help to mind one very friendly dog (feeding, walks, playing) during the day as well as some gardening, general cleaning and house help. I am doing some renovations to my house and I would also like some assistance with DIY and painting from time to time. Our house is quite old and a work in progress.
I have had Workawayers previously and find it to be a really lovely experience. Belmullet is a lovely coastal area and we try and get outdoors as much as we can (beach walks & hikes). I will try and show you some of our lovely area and hopefully bring you on some adventures on my days off work.
***Please note that because I am not at home during the day, I have limited time to help with improving English language skills.***
Looking forward to hearing from you.
