Description
We are a family of 5 living in the beautiful village of Holycross in Tipperary.
Holycross is a beautiful historic village located in the center of Tipperary and is very conveniently situated close to Cashel and Thurles towns and access to the local link bus service which services both these towns daily. There is a lovely river that runs through the village with a small park situated along its bank. We have 3 boys all ages under 5 years. The youngest is only a few months old. They are very friendly and social boys who love playing outside in sand and water.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We hope to help with language skills and speak some German at home.
Horse riding is a hobby in our house and I am a member of our local riding club. There are opportunities to get involved with the horses as well provided personal insurance covers you. My husband and kids play GAA sports and we would love to share in the experience of this traditional sport. We regularly visit the beach on the south east coast and love hiking and cycling even with the kids.
We are new to hosting so we are very much looking forward to diving in to the deep end and fully emersing ourselves in the experience of sharing our home with new people.

Help
We are looking for some help childminding our 3 young boys in the holidays and after school. We both work full time 35hrs plus during the week. Work would include minding the boys who are aged 5 years 3 years and 2 months meaning experience minding infants is essential. Light house work would also be needed including cleaning up after the boys and cooking light meals for them. School pick ups also may be required during school terms. School is situated across the square in the village from the house less than 100m distance. Most weekends would be free for applicants to do as they please and enjoy their hobbies. We both work in the veterinary fields and with horses. If the interest is there we may be able to help applicants to gain experience in the equine and veterinary fields.

We are offering a guest room with double bed in our primary household.
There is a main shared bathroom with shower and bath and a WC in the house as well. The living space and dining area will be shared with us but you are more than welcome to cook for yourself or sit down for meals with us.
What else ...
There is a bus service which services local towns Thurles and Cashel daily. This will provide an opportunity to explore these areas in your time off, shop for groceries for yourself and provide a gateway to explore the rest of Munster or Ireland as you please. Depending on your hobbies there are many outdoor activities available in the local facility.
House rules are simple. Be kind and respectful and clean up are yourself. And there is absolutely No smoking in or around the house or when minding the children.
