    Description

    Hi, we are Gabriela and Dan, originally from Romania, two city dwellers turned farmers, in our 60's, living in Ireland for 22 years. We live in Co Clare, on western part of Ireland, one of the most beautiful counties in Emerald Island. We have a little farm in the countryside, growing all the essential vegetables and keeping hens for eggs. We are also happy owners of a lovely 18 years old cat, Betty. The farm is next to a lake, a lovely place for fishing or rowing. We will need a person/couple who loves animals and pets to help us in the second part of February 2025, when we will be going on holiday for 10 days. The person/ couple needs to take care of the hens- cleaning the chicken house and picking the eggs, feeding them and to put some eggs on shelves of the little honesty boxes we have on the main gate. It's an easy job, just 1-2 hours /day. We can provide transport if necessary to go around for shopping or visiting place, it's a 2 seats mini-van. More details in private, if you chose to come to help us. We provide 4* accommodation, Internet for remote work, transport, food. Thanks a lot, hope we will find the right person to do the job and that the right person will pick us for this experience!
