    Description

    I'm Daisy. I live just outside of a little town called Clonakilty in West Cork, Ireland with my two children.

    What would be so helpful would be someone to help around the house and/or garden. I would love to rip up some carpets and have some help painting.

    We love to have someone who is very comfortable in themselves,easygoing and friendly. If you would like to plan and build a fort, my kids would be so happy to join in.

    16-20 hours per week of help in exchange for bed and board. You can help two full days and have the rest of the time to go adventuring if you like.

    You will have your own separate cabin bedroom outside the house. It is basic but private. We would share a bathroom and kitchen facilities with us . Short or long term stay welcome 🙏

    We would love to host a chilled out person. Someone who has initiative and is happy to do their own thing. No couples, unless you have your own campervan.

    We live less than 2 miles from Clonakilty Town in the south of Ireland. It is a very popular tourist town with a great community of musicians, artists, surfers, swimmers and anyone interested in a quality outdoor lifestyle really. We are just 5k from the infamous inchydoney beach, 6k from Dunmore, and 10k from Red strand and longstrand beach. You will have your choice when it comes to beaches. We will be very happy to get a bike for you to come and go as you please. A cycle into town is just 5 mins from our house. We are also happy to facilitate you enjoying your stay here in whatever way we can. There is a vibrant work away and aupair community in Clonakilty so there should be plenty of options for you to get involved in.

    Ideally, l would love someone who is easy to be around and can help on their own initiative. If you are good at organising and helping out how to make spaces more beautiful or practical that would be an absolute dream. If you happen to have any skills with tools l would be soooo happy!!!! Or if you are skillful at painting and gardening that would be amazing.

    Weekends are your own. You are welcome to take off on your own adventure. We live just a mile from the town and 5k from Inchydoney beach and you would have use to a bike. We can also help you out with a ride to buses if you're up for exploring the area. We would like you to enjoy your time here as much as we enjoy having you.
