Description
We are a family of 5 with 3 girls ages 12, 9 & 3 and we are looking for someone to come for the summer months to help with childcare and housekeeping.
My partner works from home but is goes on a lot of trips during the summer months, I have a shop in the city which I run mostly single handedly! Our 3 year old goes to a childminder 3 day during the week, so we are looking for someone who can help with the other 2 and also for the hours when the toddler isn't at the minder. ( Hours would be more defined upon arrival!)
The 12 year old is pretty self sufficient but there does need to be someone at home when school is out to help with food and just general company for them when we are both at work. We would love someone bubbly and confident who has experience with kids and can work off their own initiative also. Ideally you will be mature and happy to help out with general household things like cleaning and cooking, and also be playful and trustworthy.
Our preference would be someone over 20, female (no couples, no males, sorry), someone who would be available for the duration of the summer and not just a few weeks and who wants to get to know the girls.

You would have your own single room downstairs and share a bathroom with the girls and rest of the house with us. Its quite a spacious house, (when not covered in toys), and is in a great location to get to the city and the beach.
There is a bike you can use also for getting in and out of town it you prefer over the bus!
Types of help and learning opportunities
Animal Care
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in a family orientated, quiet area so it is not a party area! The city is a 15 minute bus ride or bike ride away, and we are also very close to Salthill.
Salthill is the seaside area which is just beside the city and it has many beaches, restaurants and bars along with a fantastic promenade to walk.
Galway really has a lot to offer with something to suit all tastes and is well worth a stay if visiting Ireland!
