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 11 and 4 year old. My kids are very chilled, well behaved and adaptable.
I am also studying full time in university so I am looking for someone to help me with basic household chores, tidy up in the evenings, laundry, hoovering, keeping the house tidy, watch 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 and genuinely enjoys being around kids.
My personality is easy going and I’m looking for someone to blend in as part of the family while also helping me(not adding to my work)!!
Someone who respects their space and is clean and tidy.
I offer food in the fridge at all times, food in the presses and a warm friendly home, aswell as lifts when I can.
I try be as flexible as possible for the experience to benefit us both.
I would like a good energy in my home.
Music is always playing too we enjoy it a lot and movies and chill time Because weekdays we are very busy, weekends is chill.
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 daily so once we communicate you can catch a lift with me(however it’s not my responsibility to be your taxi if you wish to go places when I’m at home), but I try my best to help out.
If you think my family would be a good fit please let’s start talking and getting to know each other -

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
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.
Some shifts may require just evening times so I can go to the library and study so perhaps like 5pm-10pm type of shift -
