Description
Hi!
I live in a small coastal town in Belmullet, County Mayo. Primarily we need your help to mind one very friendly dog (feeding, walks, playing) during the day as well as some general housework. I am doing some renovations to my house and I would like some assistance with DIY and painting from time to time. Our house is quite old and a work in progress.
I have had workawayers previously and find it to be a really lovely experience. Belmullet is a lovely coastal area and we try and get outdoors as much as we can (beach walks & hikes). I will try and show you some of our lovely area. There is a racer bike and a surfboard here for you to use if you want to go on some adventures.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
