  Description

  Wild Atlantic Way, West of Ireland, Easygoing mom of 2 looking for some help with 2 amazing boys and housework. I am a single mother to an 8 year old and a one year old. My kids are very quiet and adaptable. I am also studying full time in university so I am looking for someone to help me with chores, cooking, housework. Mind the boys while I study. We can work around each others schedule, I’m pretty flexible.
  
  I am looking for someone who is clean and tidy and who has a fun personality.
  My personality is easy going and I’m just looking for a bubbly person that we can all get along with to fit into our family and do activities with my son when I’m busy.
  Experience with babies also and a kind relaxed and patient loving person is needed. Must be confident with a baby to feed and change nappies.
  
  My house is a 2 bed house in a beautiful area with the Sea just 10 minute drive from me. The local village is Barna and Galway city is just 20 minutes drive. There is a bus service 30 minute walk or 10 minute cycle from my house which goes right to Connemara for some beautiful sites or to Galway city for all your sightseeing needs.The beach is a 15minute cycle from my house. I also drive in and out of the city a good bit so you could get a lift with me when I do go in.

  Help

  I am looking for someone to use their own initiative to keep the house tidy so that I don’t have to keep telling them what to do. If something needs to be done they use their own sense to do it and keep the house tidy.
  
  I would like someone with confidence who would be able to change a nappy and also someone who has energy to go out and play with my older son.
  
  The main help I need is more the housework, laundry and cooking dinners. Myself and the kids will be out of the house 8am- 6.30pm Monday to Friday so I would like to come home to a clean house and that dinner would be there, if its cooked earlier in the day that is fine with me.
