  Description

  Please only contact me if you are over 25. I really only take younger folks who come from a rural or farming background.
  
  Hi We are are a creative, outgoing, adventurous, sociable family of 1 mama and 3 kids living in Dublin
  I, Catherine, am the mama of 3 gorgeous children whom are Rachel (15 years) Odhran 13 years and Juliette 10 years.
  We have travelled the world and love cycling, the great outdoors, music and anything adventurous, artistic and cultural.
  I currently am dealing with a serious health condition. A cancer diagnosis from a couple of years has raised it’s head again hence I have to enter into medical treatment. I will be combining medical treatment with alternative and diet treatment. For this reason I am looking to find the right person to come and help. Ideally it would be someone who can work on their own initiative, has an innate kindness, really want to offer help and is somewhat independent. Perfectionists are really welcome and those who have a great sense of order.
  
  I am looking for a workaday asap who has ideally got a European driving license, has experience with children and can cook and keep a house tidy. It is not necessary to have all of the above but a driving license is essential.
  
  Ideally we would love to find someone over 25 and someone who loves children (who would be happy to share a house with active, chatty, creative kids and one adult) and is up for helping out with tidying, cooking and babysitting.
  Alternatively I would be really happy to host someone who is really good at DIY. There is always little bits to be fixed around here.
  
  I am flexible and ideally would love someone who can be a little flexible with their helping schedule. I live a very holistic lifestyle and healthy eating is very important in our home. I am looking for someone enthusiastic, kind, flexible and who doesn't mind helping on their own initiative. A good eye for tidying and organising is essential.
  This could suit someone who needs to do morning classes and who wants to use their weekend to travel and discover Ireland.
  
  I am looking for someone who can start asap.
  Please only get in touch if you genuinely love children and are open to helping out in a busy family.
  
  
  I look forward to hearing back.
  Best
  Catherine

  Help

  Ideally I would love to find someone over 23 and someone who would be happy to share a house with active, chatty, creative kids and adults. I need someone who will help out with tidying,cleaning and cooking.
  I need someone straightaway and I can offer very comfortable accommodation. I mainly need help organizing our home, housework, housekeeping, cooking, babysitting and having fun with kids. Alternatively we are very open to someone who can help with some basic DIY, gardening, painting, fixing small stuff etc. We are very creative and would really appreciate help with organizing our home and kids. The light house help will entail laundry, hoovering, tidying kitchen, cleaning, organizing kids toys, general organizing of living space.
  
  We are very flexible with regard to timetables.
  
  We have no problem if you need to take a couple of days to travel as long as you give us little bit of notice. We would love to have someone flexible too who is happy to change the timetable sometimes when an emmergency or something urgent arises.
  
  The light household help includes:
  
  Maintaining the living areas tidy and organized.
  Cleaning up after breakfast and/or lunch/dinner
  Organizing kids toys/ clothes.
  Helping kids to be more organized.
  cooking healthy meals three times per week.
  Housecleaning
  Cooking healthy meals
  Cleaning living spaces
  
  Child minding includes
  Playing with kids, sports, going to park, cycling, drawing/ coloring, playing games, baking simple stuff with kids and just having a laugh...
  
  If you are interested in gardening, that would be great but not essential. We really would love to grow our own vegetables in our garden. We are been talking about it for years but finally the time has come to do it :)
  If you are up for doing a little bit of painting around that house, that would be incredible but not essential.
  
  We would really appreciate somebody who is really kind, an enthusiastic helper and up for helping out on their own initiative.
  
  We are a really kind family and will do everything we can to help you have a great experience in Dublin.
  
  We also have a mobile home which sits beside the most beautiful beach on the East Coast of Ireland where we go most weekends. You would be very welcome to come with us or use it whenever you want.
  We have a car you are welcome to use should you have a current driving license. We would love to welcome you into out artistic family and are excited to meet who can genuinely offer some help to us.
  
  The timetable will be fixed 25 hours per week or 5 hours per day.. Mondays and Tuesday are always free as the kids are with their Dad on these days.
  
  I look forward to hearing back.

  Accommodation

  Single room with wifi. We love eating healthily - we try to eat organic where we can but its not always possible. We like to eat a lot of vegetarian but sometimes like fish, chicken and free range sausages from the local food market in Glasnevin. We require you to be up for cooking 2 or 3 days a week at least ... The other days we will be delighted to cook for you or we can provide the ingredients you need to cook for yourself if you prefer.

  What else ...

  We are located 3 miles from Dublin city centre, 30 minutes drive from the Wicklow Mountains, 1 hour from Glendalough, 20 minutes from Dublin Airport, 5 minutes from The Phoenix park. The area is incredibly central and so easy to get around. We can offer the use of a bike if you are interested. Dublin is a fascinating artistic creative city and is alive with activities to do day and night.
