Description
Hello! My name is Sabine, and I live with my family in one of the most scenic parts of Ireland – the stunning County Kerry.
At the moment, I’m looking for a bit of help around the house. This includes general housework, some light painting. If you’re 22 or older and enjoy practical tasks, this could be a great fit. A mature and reliable person would be absolutely perfect. I also have a few small gardening jobs where an extra pair of hands would be much appreciated.
We eat very healthily and love cooking fresh meals, so if you enjoy spending time in the kitchen, especially helping with things like chopping vegetables or preparing ingredients, that would be a big plus. I’m a big fan of vegetarian food – although I’m not strictly vegetarian – and I enjoy sharing the cooking with guests who like to join in.
You’d be staying in a small room with your own private bathroom (just not en-suite), and full board is included.
You’ll have plenty of free time to explore the beautiful surroundings – from the famous Ring of Kerry to Dingle, not to mention breathtaking mountain walks and some of Ireland’s best-loved scenic spots. On weekends, we often head to the National Park or the beach, and you’d be very welcome to come with us. In the evenings, we enjoy board games and quizzes, and it would be lovely if you’d like to join in.
The area here is fantastic for cycling and walking, and if you're interested in discovering more of Ireland during your stay, I’d be more than happy to help you organise some wonderful trips – and you’re always welcome to join us when we go on our own day adventures.
This could be a really special experience, and I’m looking forward to welcoming someone who enjoys a mix of practical work, great food, and a warm, relaxed Irish home life. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in one of the most beautiful areas in the South West of Ireland. It is only a few minutes walk into the busy town center of Killarney with plenty of shops, boutiques, Pubs and Restaurants and many amazing Hotels (you will find some of the nicest hotels in Killarney) . We are surrounded by mountains and lakes. The 100 km² Killarney National Park is also nearby so there is plenty to do (Boat trips, Walking, Cycling, Hiking,). The beaches are only 30 - 40 minutes drive away. I am very happy to bring you to the beach on some weekends as I am going regularly to the beach. Train Connections to Cork and Dublin are very good. You will not be bored here.
There are many mountain walks near us. -

What else ...
On your time off there is walking, fishing, cycling, mountain climbing and beautiful scenery. If you are into photography the Killarney National Park is amazing. Dingle is only 60 minutes away. You can explore by bike the Gap of Dunloe, the Killarney Nationalpark or some parts of the Ring of Kerry - depending how far you will cycle. I am happy to help with any organisation of any trips around Ireland as I work in the tourism industry.
