    Female workawayer, 6 month’s minimum stay :)

    Hi, We are are a family with two little boys, a 7 month old baby and a two year old toddler. We are looking for a female workawayer to stay for minimum 6 months. We live in a little village in the heart of beautiful county Clare in Ireland. I am a stay at home mum who is trying to study herbal medicine and my partner works as a falconer at a Bird of Prey center nearby. Our whole life is about our little family right now but we are very busy! We are good humored and open minded. We believe in freedom, medical freedom and privacy and democracy and we are trying to carve out a life of wholesome values, integrity and freedom in these challenging times. The last three years have seen serious human rights breaches in medical privacy and with lockdowns. We are against that and do not need to know your medical or ‘vaccination’ status. We are very honest and good humored people. We believe in respectful and kind parenting and the same goes for everyone. We are genuine and try to bring a little soul to this impersonal world we live in. We enjoy music, cooking, interesting discussion and being outdoors. We moved to our house in a small estate last year and are beginning to garden and make it a home!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We speak English and are very interested in other languages. We live in a very touristy location in the heart of the Burren county Clare. There is a lot to do and see here and we live near other major cities which are just an hour away. We live near one of Europes top surf destinations and you would get a very good idea of what life is like in Ireland along with the benefit of being within a good location to avail of many adventures.

    Because of the nature of our needs we are looking for a female workawayer for minimum three months so our kids get to know the person :) We are have two children, a boy aged 2.5 and a 9 month old baby. We are looking for someone to spend time doing activities/play and learning activities with our two year old and basically helping to take care of the children and helping me cooperatively to do housework or cooking. I am very busy cooking, cleaning and giving attention to both little boys but the demands of looking after a small baby means I can't meet the needs of a toddler who is excited to explore and learn. I need help so that I can meet the needs of both children a little better and most importantly so that I can have a little time to myself so that I can be a happy healthy mum. Because I am often holding the smaller baby I physically don't have the free hands to play, or make sand castles or do garden activities with our two year old. He is a little too young to join kindergarten but is incredibly bright an interested in learning and doing activities and can already count and loves to read books with us. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and who has a passion for leaning about people whether adults or children. We have a very kind, gentle and honest approach to parenting and because of this we have a wonderful happy healthy little boy who loves to play together and learn knew things. We would love a kindergarten/montessori/forest school trained person to spend time with our son(s) to create more life and activity in our home and bring some creativity and fun because it is quite hard to do it ourselves while working and doing all the cooking and cleaning required to function!

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We live in a large 5 bedroom house in an estate in a small traditional Irish village. Our house has is two stories high, 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (one with bath), kitchen, sitting room, dining room, utility room, office and playroom and a good sized garden. We are a 8/10 minute walk to the shops and pubs in the village. There is also a bus stop in the.6134616 village. Our home has a big kitchen, dining room and sitting room, playr88
    188' oom for kids, an office and a utility room, with a nice back garden. We have a large bedroom with a double bed for the workaway guest and a shared bathroom with a bath and shower. Our home is very spacious. I love to cook and cook family meals most nights of the week. We eat a diet of meat and fresh veg, eggs and dairy. I would be happy to share the cooking duties with a workaway guest and cook for them a few nights if they did so in return. That would be on the condition that we ate the same type of foods. It is important that we ate the same foods anyhow as I would be providing the basic three meals a day. I cook meaty and fatty meals based on meat, eggs and dairy with veg and I do a lot of gluten free baking. We have big appetites here but try to stay away from carbohydrates and eat a more keto/grain free diet rich in wholefoods and good nutrients. We are never hungry though and cook a lot and have variety! Food these days is very expensive and I like to make sure I buy good quality organic and healthy food for our family and children. Because of this it would be important that while I would be delighted to provide food and love cooking, anything extra apart from the basic meals would be paid for separately by the workaway guest or that we would discuss it in advance if they wanted to use my food that I had bought. The workaway guest would be welcome to use almost the whole house and facilities on the condition we spoke about how our family works and when we need to use certain spaces exclusively and how we can meet all of our needs for space.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    In good weather from Spring onward there is a lot to do and see around here. Many beautiful and natural landscapes, Irish tourist spots and Irish pubs and music along with outdoor activities and surfing. A bus journey away are cities with arts and culture.
    Something very important to mention about our family is that we believe in medical freedom. In recent years there have been some serious constitutional breaches by governments across the world with lockdowns and forced medical interventions. We are 100% against this. We believe in freedom and autonomy over ones own life and self. We also treat our children and ourselves with alternative medicine and I myself am almost trained as a medical herbalist. I am passionate about our health and wellbeing in a natural way.
    We are very honest and kind and believe in communication above all. If we have a workaway guest stay it would be most important to us that we were honest with eachother so that we make sure all of us can be as comfortable and happy in eachothers company and living space as possible and that we learn from eachother with decency, mutuall respect and above all kindness and an understanding of each others differences and boundaries.
    We would love someone to be part of our family if they come to stay with us but we would also want to make sure that we get time alone as a family especially because it can be a delicate balance inviting new people into our home with small children who are used only to living with us.
    I am at home 5 days a week with the children while my partner he goes to work so I very much like to have fun and have a lot of life happening in my home with cooking and music and dancing and creativity and also periods of peace and rest.
    I would describe myself as quite spiritual and alternative but also lively, bubbly and good fun. I can be bossy in the kitchen and I'm a bit of perfectionist who likes to keep my house clean and tidy but also feeling relaxed. I love when my house runs efficiently so that things are done well and kept organised so that we can enjoy our time doing fun things and feeling free.
