  Beschreibung

  I'm Jess - horse lover, mum to Alfie (aged 11) and Cece (aged 9), apple farmer, and wife to John, a landscape gardener. We live in a beautiful old house surrounded by a large garden, tennis court, and paddocks, just on the edge of Lismore town in County Waterford, 20 minutes from the south coast of Ireland.
  
  Over the years we have lived with au pairs and Work Awayers, all of which have been positive experiences. In the past two years we were renovating our house so we weren't in a position to host. Now we have a comfortable, warm house and lots of jobs to complete! The kids are older so we don't need childcare but if you have a skill to share such as sports, music, art, we would like you to share it with them.
  
  We are looking for someone to do some gardening, and/or light property maintenance such as painting metal gates or sanding floors. Ideally, we would like someone to come and stay for 1-2 weeks, no longer to help put the garden to bed, ready for the winter.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We would like you to join us for evening meals (maybe cook one a week - share your culture with us) and spend time with us (and our extended family or friends).
  
  We also hope that you enjoy meeting new people and experiencing what Lismore, Dungarvan and Ireland have to offer. You will have plenty of time to travel at weekends, if you want.

  Arbeit

  We are looking for someone who is fit, practical, enthusiastic and self-motivated, who likes to be outdoors, be active, likes healthy food, has a sense of humour, and is able to communicate.
  
  Over the autumn, we need help from people who have experience in any of the following: gardening, splitting logs, painting woodwork, painting metalwork, repairing window frames, sanding, and waxing floors...so if you have experience with any of these activities, we would love you to come and experience life in this tiny slice of paradise.
  
  This combination of tasks might suit two-three people travelling together.
  
  Please help us to keep the house tidy and do small amounts of cleaning when required e.g. hoover or mop the kitchen.
  
  4 hours of help in the mornings on Mondays to Fridays.
  
  Food:
  We always keep a full fridge and larder. Help yourself to breakfast and lunch. We aim to eat the evening meal all together, and if you want to cook one or two evening meals, great! We eat lots of vegetables, seafood, and meat, especially venison.
  
  Dogs:
  You will not have to care for the dogs or horses, unless to want to, but the dogs live in the house, so you must be comfortable around dogs.
  
  Car:
  Must be aged 21 or over with 4 years driving experience on a manual car to be insured on the car, though driving is not 100% necessary.

  In one part of the house, we have two spare bedrooms that share a bathroom. One bedroom has a large superking double bed and the other room can be set up as a superking double bed or two single beds. There is also plenty of space in the rest of the house to find a quiet corner to read or watch a movie.

  Was noch ...

  Lismore is a small, beautiful town on the edge of the Blackwater River and the foothills of the Knockmealdown Mountains. It’s a historic town that tourists love to visit. It has its own cathedral and castle!
  
  Lismore is a great community. There are a couple of cafes in the town and good local pubs. There is the opportunity to practise yoga or pilates, and to swim in the river, kayak, fish, or to row on the river.
  
  The local bus goes to Dungarvan every hour. The journey takes 20 minutes. Dungarvan is famous for its Traditional Irish music and the Greenway cycle route. It also has many great little pubs, a shopping centre, a cinema, excellent restaurants, and a sailing club.
  
  Fermoy is 20 mins drive away. Here you can get the Aircoach to Cork airport (1 hour) or Dublin airport (3 hours), or a bus to Cork city from which you can get trains and buses to other parts of the country, such as Kerry.
  
  There is stuff to do and experience nearby. Here are just some ideas:
  Walk around the gardens at Lismore Castle
  River kayaking in Cappoquin
  Walk or swim at big, wide open beaches near Dungarvan and Ardmore
  Trekking in the Knockmeal downs or Comergah Mountains (Mahon Falls and Coumshingaun Lake Walk)
  Cycle the Waterford Greenway
