Description
Hi
We are a family of five. We live in a big georgian/farm house just outside Kilkenny city(7km) in Ireland on a farm. My name is Sharon and I'm a teacher and my husbands name is Paddy and he is a beef and sheep farmer. We have three children aged 3, 1 and 3 months. We are a very happy, relaxed and easy going family.
You will have free bed and board. Your accommodation has its own private entrance to the house and is located at the other end of the house away from where we sleep. We can also insure you in one of our cars if you have a full driver's licence. If you are interested we are looking for the right person to come and stay with us for a minimum of 2 months as anything shorter is too difficult for our kids.Types of help and learning opportunities

Kilkenny city is a beautiful city located in the south east of Ireland where many tourists come every year. By staying with us you have the benefits of the city but also the country as we live only 7km from the city.
