Description
We are a family of four living just outside Clonakilty in West Cork. My name is Ciara and I am married to Dave. I’m from West Cork and Dave is from Australia. We have two children - Alice is 4 and Thomas has just arrived, born on New Year’s Eve! We also have a dog called Ash (Kelpie breed).
We run a video production company specialising in documentary film.
We are a relaxed and easygoing family who love music, film, the arts and good food. We love our local area and living by the Atlantic Ocean.
We are looking for a calm, caring and creative individual that enjoys being around busy, fun children! A happy, flexible, independent non-smoker would be ideal. Also someone who likes to cook would be suitable. We prefer if our workaways are over 23 but we are open to younger workaways. We also have a preference for those who have lived away from home and are active and interested in exploring the area. Thank you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are just off the Wild Atlantic Way route in West Cork so you will have plenty of choice if you love the outdoors. Fishing, surfing, hill walking, camping, kayaking, you name it! Whatever your interest we can suggest a range of activities for you to try during your stay.
Our house is within walking distance of Clonakilty town. Clonakilty is a busy and colourful town. We have a number of quality traditional Irish music pubs where you can get to hear some quality traditional and modern Irish music. Check out Debarras pub.
Clonakilty is home to a number of festivals such as the International Guitar Festival.
There is a vibrant workaway and aupair community in West Cork so there should be plenty options for you to get involved in. We want you to enjoy your stay with us, and we will help and support you in any way we can.

We are looking for a workaway that is calm and enjoys being with an active, creative child.
Main meals are provided. Weekends are your own. We encourage you to get out and explore this beautiful area. We would like you to enjoy your time here as much as we enjoy having you.
