Description
We are a family of 5. Paul, Corinna, a boy aged 9 and twins aged 6. We live in the countryside 10km from the popular tourist town of Killarney. We have a private apartment with a bedroom, living area, bathroom and some cooking facilities.
We are both teachers and we are looking for someone to mind our 3 boys for 2-3 hours from Monday-Friday. You will have every weekend free and you are welcome to join us in our family activities and when we socialise.
We will help you meet other people help you become part of our family and community.
We would suit someone who is looking to learn English and experience the Irish culture. We might also suit someone who might be interested in learning about schools in Ireland and working with children.
We have had people from Spain and Brazil stay with us before. They are happy to answer any questions you may have.
