Abby stayed with us for a month, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful guest. From the moment she arrived, she brought warmth, humour, and an easygoing nature that made her an absolute delight to have around.
With Abby’s professional cheffing background, she treated us to the most incredible meals—our home was constantly filled

She was also fantastic with the kids, who absolutely adored her. My son is still proudly recreating the dishes she taught him, in particular guacamole which he makes for the whole family.
Abby was happy to get stuck into whatever was going on, always lending a hand with a smile. Whether it was in the kitchen, around the house, or just part of daily life, she always saw what needed to be done.
We would have loved to have had longer with her and would welcome her back in a heartbeat. Abby is truly one of a kind, and we feel very lucky to have had her with us.

As with the others who have left feedback for this amazing family, I was welcomed with open arms by 3 sweet, well mannered, kind, curious and bright kids, (and their loving parents) and of course Mila the Vizla . All made me feel special and lucky to spend a whole month with them. I was eager to help in anyway that I could so i did some fun

I don t know what can i firstly say after one month in this beautiful and lovely family... First of all it s very important to say that i felt like part of the family, they encouraged me in everything i do and was a pleasure for me tell them what is happening around myself. I spent a lot of time with their funny puppy Miela into the nature close
… read more the sea, just wonderful! I had a lot of fun with Eli, Rowan and Annaliese, their three special and unique children. They are so sweet and full of energy to play every time. I also had the possibility to meet other aupairs the wednesday night in a pub in kinsale. I met some friends and every weekend we gone to exploring around Ireland, Cliffs of Moher, Cork and Dublin...
Thank you for everything, was a pleasure for me !You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Our family had the pleasure of having Enza stay with us for most of August. Enza has a beautiful personality, is so positive and is a very relaxing person to have around. She has a vast amount of experience with children and I was very grateful to learn a few tips now and then ;-)
We had quite a few birthdays and gatherings when Enza was here and

We really couldn't recommend Enza enough. Great with kids. A very interesting lady and a relaxed and mature person to have stay in your home.

I spent the month of August with this amazing family and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had. They are an beautiful family, full of fun, laughter and love! The children are lovely and I will always miss them! I enjoyed getting to know the kids and being apart of this loving family. I was blessed to also meet their extended family,

It was a great opportunity. There are many reasons to go to Felicity’s and Ger’s house: they are really kind, polite, helpful and generous, they really like to create a family atmosphere and this really helps you to feel at home.
I truly hope to see this wonderful family again one day and I am grateful for the time I spent with them! Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I still think a lot about the wonderful time with this family, even though it was a few months ago. I felt like I had been a part of their great family for two weeks. They supported me in everything and I enjoyed it a lot to speak with Felicity and Ger. They have a very loving and empathetic approach to their children. I had a lot of fun with

Outside of this time I took nice walks along the sea or I met with some of the other au pairs. You have the opportunity to experience the beautiful nature in Ireland and spend time in the cozy cafes in Kinsale or you can go to Cork and visit the next larger city.
I will never forget the time and I would fly back anytime. Thank you for letting me a part of you family. It was a pleasure for me!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Danni recently stayed with us for 2 weeks and I can honestly say that she was one of the best Workaway's we've had. From the get go she was great fun with the kids, got stuck straight in with helping around the house, worked away on her own initiative, helped out in the garden and was great company to have around. Danni was really active with the

I hope we will be seeing more of Danni in the future.

Recently spent 2 weeks with this family and it was amazing! They are such a warm and loving family and I was instantly welcomed with open arms and not just by them but also their extended family and friends. I felt so comfortable and it really did feel like staying with friends. Their house and views are just incredible. I felt so lucky everyday

The kids (Rowan, Annaleise and Eli) are bundles of energy and will keep you on your toes but they are a lot of fun! I learnt a thing or two from them about myself. I enjoyed our walks into town, cooking together and playing games.
Felicity and Ger are such a wonderful couple and loving, fun parents. I really enjoyed my chats with them and appreciate all the help and advice they gave me.
I didn’t know what to expect for my first workaway experience with a family but I don’t think it could have been any better. I have even been back to visit since leaving and feel like I’ve gained some lifelong friends. :)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

For real, you could write 30 pages about how incredible this family is. I feel so lucky to have spend these three weeks with Eli, Annaliese, Rowan, Felicity and Ger. Not to forget, of course, their big famkly and close friends coming from Kinsale but also from the other side of the Earth ! Each of them are different and really interessant
… read more individuals. And funny, how funny. I mostly helped by tiding up a little bit, taking care of the little one (which is a 2yo funny guy, a little sun) and cooking vegeterian meals for dinner. None of that felt like work. Moreover, no way you would feel stuck in this house, the big windows make you feel like your always in the beautiful nature surrounding Kinsale, with the confort of a home. I spent most of my free time exploring the area and the multiples cafes, bookshops, and pubs at night. You find in this little town lots of foreign people and traditional irish music. A great mix ! And the family even welcomed my boyfriend for a few days and we had an amazing time, hanging, gardening, laughing. I would have been happy to stay for months here, eating the sunday's scones every weeks. Hope I will get the chance to meet them again. Thanks a lot !!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Gaby was such a delight to have stay with us for 4 weeks. She was great fun and company to have around and most of all amazing with the kids. It was lovely to have someone so interesting and knowledgeable about all walks of life. She always got out and involved in local community activities and even had a part in a salsa dancing demo during a

We were all sad to see her go but wish her all the best in her future adventures of which I hope she has many. :pray:

I just spent a month with Felicity and her amazing kids and I had the best time! The kids are hilarious and I loved playing with them. The family really made me feel welcome, and they taught me so much, even how to make bread! I really got to know the family and I really appreciate how welcome they made me feel.
The view from the house is

It's also a quick ride to Cork, which is a great city to wander around in, and has a bit more to offer in terms of night life and shopping. The au pair community is strong, and they meet every week, so you can meet new friends to take trips with.
This really was an amazing experience. Thank you to Felicity for the great wine and chat (and even for the dunk in the water), and thanks to Rowan, Annaliese, and Eli for making me laugh and getting songs stuck in my head! Miss you guys!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I've spent three weeks with Felicity and her kids. I was such a great time. The kids are awesome and so happy when you play with them. Felicity is very hospitable and really wants you to feel good and comfortable at hers. The sea-air around the house is pure medicine!
Kinsale is a very cute village, very social with all the other au pairs.
