Favourited 37 times
My Husband and I built a house here in Waterford when we moved to Ireland three years ago. I am retired and my husband is a lorry driver. I am 64 and have grown up children and six grandchildren who live in Uk and Dubai.
We have nearly three acres of land and live in a rural location we have a number of animals some rescues including three Irish Wolfhounds one st Bernard x Wolfhound rescue, a German Shepard, a Whippet and a Jack Russell. Two of the Wolfhounds and the St. Bernard live in the house and are part of our family although they are only allowed in the kitchen family room. So any one living with us would have to be happy sharing a seat with them. We also haveTwo retired horses and two rescue ponies, four cats a cockerteil and a number of chickens.
Our garden is still very much under construction
It is just the two of us living in a five bedroom bungalow which has all mod cons. We are a very easy going couple. We can only take one person at a time. We also would rather have non smokers

They would learn animal husbandry and rural living plus getting to know a bit about ireland. They would also be treated as family whilst staying at our home.
This would be helping with the paddock and stable cleaning and cleaning out chickens. We also have some fences to paint and gardening. If we had someone who could help building chicken runs that would be great.
All very flexible.

Helpers would have the opportunity to visit towns such as Waterford Dungarvan and Cork as there I a good buss service running from Dungarvan. There are local beaches and moorland walks. We have a very quaint pub within walking distance with music on a Saturday evening mainly locals attend. The only thing we would ask is that workers respect our home and animals and are happy to be part of our family throughout their stay. We are a non smoking household so smoking not allowed anywhere in the house.
