Description
Hello! I live in a beautiful part of County Wicklow at the foot of Carrick Mountain. Its about 50 min drive from Dublin, but longer by public transport, and many attractions in between; Mount Usher Gardens; Powerscourt House and Gardens. I am looking for help in the garden and home maintenance projects. But...
The accommodation is in Avoca at my Mother's cottage with my supervision and co-ordination. It's not far from Avoca village; the Meeting of the Waters; Avoca Woollen Mills and very close to the Woodenbridge Hotel and Aughrim if you are interested in Irish traditional music you'll find plenty of it.
I am a musician - a singer and very interested in growing and preserving food, natural medicine and such. My Mum lives alone since my Dad passed and she has developed mobility challenges. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My Mum is Australian. You will learn anything and everything you want to learn because I can facilitate you. I frequently go to traditional Irish music sessions and I'm happy to bring you along. The area has a lot of tourist destinations mentioned in the profile. I instinctively treat you like a member of the family when you are here because you are with my Mum!

Help
The successful applicant will be able to cook keto style meals from scratch for one of Mum's meals a day and make sure the cottage is kept clean. The ideal occupant will be female, mature(35+), drive their own car, have decent fitness and good general knowledge and an interest in gardening, natural medicine and good health.

What else ...
I can assist with transport to nearest village/bus/train, and take you to local pubs for the traditional music. If I am due to go to an event I will offer it to you. For example I took our last Workaway to Dublin to see an exhibit that I was attending.
Our workaways need to have excellent English, because of my Mum's hearing.
I would like to chat with you via Zoom before making arrangements. -
