    Description

    Hello!
    We are a family of three, very relaxed, fun and easy going. We now live in Athlone, Ireland. We're here to welcoming you on your new adventure while you help us around the house and with our son.
    We both work on different times of the day, and Oliver goes to school only in the mornings.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Covilhã is a great city to know people as it hosts Universidade da Beira Interior, a University known in many countries, hence the students from these countries.
    There is a public library, nightlife, restaurants, theatre, many cultural and local attractions, and a lot of nature around. Local history is strong.

    Help

    We are looking for someone who can help with our son and some help with the house. The house is not big, so it is very easy to have things done.
    Babysitting is not a full-time job, as our son goes to the nursery and we also love taking care of him. Maybe take him to the nursery ad pick him up every now and then. Oliver is a lovely boy. He is a very smiling and happy toddler and has an end-of-the-day routine every day.
