  Description

  Hi, I'm a single parent - dad to 3 great kids - of 10,9 & 7. I'm separated, working fulltime (as a counsellor) outside the home and sharing childcare 50/50 with their mum. I could do with some help now and then - nothing too heavy. We live near the sea, at Lower Aghada, on Cork Harbour, County Cork, Southern Ireland. Best of countryside, beaches and Cork City - all nearby. Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way to discover in your free time. Over the course of a few weeks I'm hoping to get some painting done inside the house - it needs minor redecorating. I'll be able to advise and organise lifts to different parts of Ireland for you - eg Dingle, Galway, Dublin etc for weekends away.

Nice village on the doorstep with lively Irish pub and great restaurant. When all the family lived here together, we had workaway's here over each summer over 4 years.
