    Description

    We’re a friendly couple in our 50s, living 3 km from Killarney Town. We’re looking for someone (minimum age 22) to help with cooking, gardening, and general household tasks.

    I work from home, and my husband works nearby.

    In our spare time, we enjoy hiking, kayaking, yoga, art, and motorbiking. In exchange for your help, we offer comfortable accommodation and the chance to explore one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland. You’ll have plenty of free time to discover Killarney, immerse yourself in nature, or pursue your personal interests.

    If you’re an independent, proactive person with a love for nature and an eagerness to help out, we would love to hear from you!
