Description
Hello and welcome! 👋
We are a small family living just outside Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland, and we’d love to welcome a Workawayer who enjoys spending time with children and would like to be part of our everyday family life.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is warm, caring, and child-centered – someone who genuinely enjoys being around little ones. Our daughter is 1 year old, so the main help will be keeping her company, playing, and creating a safe, happy, and fun environment for her.
Alongside childcare, we’d also appreciate help with cooking, tidying, and light housework.
We ask for up to 25 hours of help per week (usually spread across 5 days). In return, you’ll have your own comfortable room, all meals included, and plenty of opportunities to improve your English.In line with Irish regulations, if any extra hours are agreed, they will also be paid.
What we offer:
A welcoming family atmosphere where you’ll feel at home
Your own private room and home-cooked meals
The chance to be part of our daily life in the Irish countryside
Language exchange (we’re happy to help with your English)
At least 2 days off with free time to explore Mullingar and the beautiful lakes and countryside nearby. However, we are very flexible and open.
About the area:
Our home is in a peaceful location just outside Mullingar, a lively town with cafes, shops, music, and culture. We’re surrounded by lakes and lovely walks, and Dublin is only about an hour away by train or bus – perfect for day trips. However, as we live in the countryside if you have a license to drive and have a car that would be even better. But we can facilitate lifts to local train and buses too.
Who we are hoping for:
Someone warm, patient, and responsible with young children
A person who enjoys family life and joining in with day-to-day routines
Flexible and happy to lend a hand with cooking and light housework
Bonus if you love to play, sing, read stories, or do creative activities with kids!
If you’d like to spend time in Ireland, share family life with us, and make a positive difference in a little one’s everyday world, we’d love to hear from you. 💚
