    Description

    Hi there, my name is Maggie, I live in Askeaton, County Limerick. I live in an old country farm house with acres of land. I live with my son Oliver who is 20 years old. We have a friendly Springer Spaniel called Molly and a tabby cat called Tina who lives inside the house with us.

    I work as a gardener frequently in the Askeaton Community and take on private gardening and cleaning jobs. I love gardening and growing fruit and vegetables. I have many cleaning jobs in private houses near Askeaton. I am a horticultural teacher and love showing people how to grow plants.

    My home is in the countryside just 30 minutes walk to the centre of Askeaton, or 10 minutes by car. In the centre of the village is a beautiful 12th Century Castle and a Franciscan Abbey. Also we can travel to Adare the prettiest village in Ireland. Limerick city is just 30 minutes by car or by public transport from Askeaton centre.

    I would love some help with household duties and also with gardening and cleaning jobs. In exchange I offer a single private room, a shared kitchen, bathroom. toilet and washing machine. We have also fibre broadband internet available.

    If you are an outdoor, gardening, animal lover you are welcome! It will be a pleasure for me to share my life with you and teach you English or Gaeilge, if you like. Teaching is another passion of mine, I'm a professional online teacher.

    Happy days! See you soon!
