Help us around the house and with childcare while learning English in Dublin, Ireland

Details

• 

  Description

  We live in a cosy house just 20 min away from Dublin city centre. We are a family of 4 with 2 kids aged 14 and 12. Mum and dad are originally from Italy but have been in Ireland for 17 years. At home we try speak Italian to our girls but their native language is anyway English. We love our family time and we try to be out in the nature as much as we can. We are looking for an energetic girl to help with house keeping and cooking. Our girls are very independent, but it's nice to have a "bigger sister " at home to drop or collect to their activities (walking distance) or help get their lunch ready when they get back from school.

  Help

  We are looking for a girl to help us in the house: cooking, cleaning and the daily maintenance of the house (hoovering, folding the laundry, minimal ironing). Also she would help us, from time to time, with some childminding, bringing girls to school and collecting, minding them during the evenings or weekends.
  We need a patient and enthusiastic girl that really likes helping in the house and enjoy kids. A must, she needs to love cooking and be able to properly cook.
  It will be a great plus if she likes active life in the outdoor and she likes fitness and sport. She would help our girls practicing their exercises and play with them outside sports.
  We had previously vegetarian and vegan guests but it didn't work due to kitchen space restrictions and logistics with having separate meals.
  We are not looking for males.
