    Description

    We are a family looking for some extra help with tidying/cleaning in our home, we would welcome someone who can help with the home and children (we need an extra set of hands). Our youngest child would be the one that would need help with afterschool homework and play.

    We need someone who is flexible and can just help us out as a third adult. The children are at school everyday and the evenings are very busy. My husband and oldest son work away between Monday to Friday so it is great to have someone in the house.

    We live in the North West of Ireland close to the river Shannon and close to wonderful scenic walking areas. If you love the countryside then you will be happy here - we are 2km from a village where our children go to school and about 6km from Carrick-on-Shannon.

    We are surrounded by lovely canal walks and some great towns close to public transport to explore Ireland.
