We live in the beautiful county kilkenny which is a popular tourist destination , the outstanding castle located at the heart of the city drawing lots of people, kilkenny has a very small town feel with lovely boutiques and coffee shops. We live in the country about 15 mins outside the city, we have lots of outdoor space a newly errected polytunnel (hoping to begin growing veggies soon) and forest behind our house its very quiet and peacefull outside. We enjoy sports /music /going for food/meeting friends but 3 small kids keeps our lives focused on this where trips to playground and forest walks are our main social outlets!We are looking for someone who loves hanging out with kids and would be happy to spend time and play with them in evenings. We would love some help with basic house hold chores laundry, hoovering,cooking lightmeals and just clearing up after meals.We are looking forward very much to welcoming you to our home.
