Description
We are a family of 4 living in beautiful Killarney. We are looking for helpers around with work in our garden and house. We have 3 cats and 7 chickens in our garden. My parents also live here and we have two children under 2. We are looking for help mostly in our garden with weeding, cutting lawn, landscaping etc. If you have some building/carpentry skills this would also be a bonus as I plan on building a wood shed for our woodpile.
