    Description

    We are a family of 5! Myself Kivi and my husband Andy. We have 3 children 2 boys and a girl aged 5 to 10 years. We live in the middle of the burren, right next to the ocean, on the wild atlantic way. It is a very popular destination for tourists from all over the world due to its beauty and unusual landscape.
    Myself and my husband are gardeners/caretakers on a property near by.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Everybody loves Ireland..... We are all very easy going and relaxed. It is a great place to learn better english and to socialise. This is a real chance to see what is like to live in the west of ireland in a very unusual landscape. We have a bit of everything here from quaint towns to small cities.... beaches and mountains.

    Help

    We are hoping to find a traveler who would be able to help us look after our kids and generally around the house as when the summer comes we are working and the kids are off school... My husband works full time whereas my hours are more flexible and would be working more part time.
    We would love for our children to have the opportunity to meet a person from another country/culture.... Perhaps they would pick up a little bit of a new language... or learn about different cultures/foods.

    Accommodation

    We live in a 4 bedroom house. 2 bedroom upstairs and 2 downstairs. We have one spare room with a single bed upstairs next to a bathroom that is not used by the rest of the family. Downstairs we have a sitting room, kitchen and dining room.
    You are welcome to eat with the family or if you would prefer to prepare your own food this is ok too... Just help yourself... We are very easy going and are so happy for people to feel at home.

    In your time off we are happy to facilitate you in what ever way you need, we are happy to bring you with us if we are going into town at the weekend, which we often do. We love the countryside but we also love to go to galway to the market at the weekend..... or if you need transport to somewhere on your own this is no problem either. There is a bus daily into galway from the village also. There is also a surf school near by..... The cliffs of moher.... Aran islands..... lots of caves..... beaches.... restaurants... you name it!
