Hello to you hopeful travelers.
I’m looking for someone to help babysit from the 15th of December onwards, you are welcome to stay over Christmas. Ideally looking for someone to stay long-term minimum three months but will accept short-term stays due to last minute notice A HORSEY NANNY is ideal. Jobs consist of looking after my son Merlin, who is 18 months. There is plenty of horses and other animals, such as goats, chickens, dogs, cat, there is the opportunity to ride. for someone capable. I have lots of nice horses and ponies on site, Small cross-country course sand arena. Strictly Female only thanks
Essentially, I am looking for someone who is good with children and loves being around them and has experience with toddlers. Been able to ride would be a bonus. For someone who is confident and able to ride there is the opportunity to competition and I am go to new venues schooling. I have horses of all levels so if you just require a quiet horse to ride that can also be provided.
I live in the south of Wexford on a small farm near the historic town of Wexford. I spend my days educating and training young green horses for riding schools, pony and riding club homes. Going to the beach, cross country and show jumping is an important part of of my routine.
I have connections to Austria. So someone from Austria/ Germany would be of particular interest to me as I would love my son to be exposed to the language as an early age.
Im flexible but expect it back also. Work days can change due to weather / client viewings.
And I do give some pocket money as part of the package as a thank you, but this is primarily a cultural exchange.
6 month plus stays would be ideal
