Kinsale was my first stop in Ireland and probably the best. I stayed with Mary, Richard and Emmett for nearly 3 month and it was a fantastic time!
I got on really well with Emmett. He is a lovely and easy going boy and it was nice playing with him lego, Wii-U, football, etc. ... I never had any real problems or complications with him.

Clara joined us at a particularly busy time. She was able to pick up the routine quickly and even did a handover to the next Workaway. She made friends in Kinsale and was able to enjoy the local cafes and local entertainment.

My son enjoyed meeting Clara. She entertained him by competing on computer games. He really appreciated this:)

Mary and Richard really made me feel at home and they do their best to make you feel as comfortable and welcome as possible.
The house is big and very nice and your… read more

It was very reassuring that Lena followed my instructions for Emmett so well. It meant… read more

I'm so grateful of this wonderful experience I had living with this lovely family! Emmett is such a sweet boy and I had the best time minding him. The most fun was helping him build all kinds of different Lego vehicles. It always made me really happy to see Emmett's face light up after we finished another Lego piece. :)
Mary an Richard are two… read more

Athena was a great help to me and my family during a recent two month stay. Her demeanor was calm and mature and I appreciated her ability to make good judgement and wise decisions throughout (invaluable skill). My son enjoyed Athena caring for him. Help with everyday housekeeping was efficient and well managed. I wish you the very best in your… read more

I stayed with Mary and her family for a period of two months in the beautiful town of Kinsale. I enjoyed every aspect of my experience there! Emmett was a lovely boy to look after. He didn't cause any trouble, he listened to what I had to say, and he was fun to be around as well. The food and the house were both lovely and the entire family was… read more

I spent two months with this lovely family and really enjoyed it! :)
Kinsale is a beautiful town and you can easily travel to other cities and areas and meet with other people.
I sometimes worked more than the 25 hours but I had always enough time for myself. Emmett is a lovely, funny and clever boy who enjoys it to play with other children. It… read more
