  Description

  We are a small family of three, living in rural Ireland, on the South West coast, about 10 minutes from Kenmare in county Kerry.
  
  My daughter is three years old and we have two dogs. We also have a very large garden and only a small vegetable patch at the moment witch I would like to develop more.
  Looking for someone who likes nature,animals and children and doesn't mind being away from the city. There is no public transport, but with a bicycle or car you can get to a shop in about 10/15 minutes.
  
  We could take and help around, walking the dogs, gardening or childminding.
  Ideally someone who could stay longer, but happy to see how goes first.

  There are many things to do just steppes away. The wind Atlantic Sea and the Kerry mountains are within couple of Kms.

  Nearest public transport is the bus from Kenmare or train station in Killarney.
