Description
I live near the town of Macroom about 30 minutes from Killarney and 45 mins from Cork city. I have a 4 acres/ 1.5 hectares of woodland , a poly-tunnel and a vegetable garden, one small friendly dog .I am a vegetarian and a non smoker. I can offer a caravan for accommodation and there is another small room for a second helper. I am vegetarian ( not vegan).I can also help anyone who wants to learn English ( you must be at least at an intermediate level) as I am an English teacher.
I am looking for someone who is responsible and can help on their own and who likes physical tasks and/ or can cook vegetarian meals.
Hours need to be flexible . but roughly 4 /5 hours a day and 2 days off a week ( Doesn’t have to be weekends)
I visit my wife who lives in a care home most days for a few hours so it’s important that the people I host have initiative and can work by themselves for part of the time.
