Description
We are a family of 4, myself, my husband and 2 children aged 5 and 3. We live on a farm and have 2 dogs so it would only suit someone who is comfortable around dogs.
Our children are outgoing and energetic, they love to play and enjoy the outdoors. We would prefer someone with some experience of working with children. Our ideal helper would be open minded, punctual and flexible with the work requested, as things are subject to change depending on the day. We are looking for a French speaking female to help us with our children while teaching them French and to do some housework.
We live on our family farm and, in general, I will not be any further away than the farm while you are minding the kids. -

There are two families living on the farm, as my parents live next door, so you will have different people with whom you can practise your English. County Sligo is a scenic county, so there is plenty to see on your days off.

Help

Accommodation
Accommodation will be provided in a mobile home on the farm. It can be cold in winter so may be unsuitable for someone who feels the cold easily. WiFi is available in the two houses on the farm and there is also a SIM card and router in the mobile home which can be topped up for €20 a month for unlimited data.

What else ...
There is a train and a bus station approximately 8 km from the farm and we would be happy to drop you there and collect you on your days off. There are also bikes on the farm which you may borrow.
For those who like the outdoors, County Sligo has lots of beautiful places for you to explore on your days off. -
