    Description

    Dad to 4, husband to 1. We have a nice home within walking distance of Galway City and looking to share a room in exchange for another person to add temporarily to our family and be with our Children 7, 5, 4 & 5 m. Would be super to have new culture and energy in the house for our children to experience. Kids are energetic and love the outdoors.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Galway was European Culture Capital recently and generally a pretty cool place. The kids will teach a bit of Irish, love art, any sport with a ball and cycling. I travel quite a bit so can offer opportunities to explore the coast of various parts of Ireland

    Help

    We would love to have someone else in the house to add energy and enjoy the play and madness of the kids and be with our family. We don't need you to do house duties, just clean after yourself and pitch into normal family routine. We'd like you to eat with us most breakfasts and dinners particularly during the week.

    If we were to go out and leave you minding kids, we'd be happy to pay for that.
