Description
Hello!
I live in beautiful Glencar, County Kerry, with my two young children aged 5 and 6. We live in a rural area surrounded by mountains, lakes, and some of Ireland's most spectacular scenery.
I am looking for a friendly, practical, and reliable person who would enjoy helping me with a few projects around my home. The main tasks include garden maintenance, painting, hanging shelves, and general DIY tasks. There may also be some outdoor help such as tidying garden areas, light landscaping, and helping keep things organised.
I am not looking for professional tradespeople, just someone who enjoys practical work and is happy to lend a hand. If you have experience with DIY, gardening, decorating, or maintenance, that would be a big bonus.
In return, I can offer comfortable accommodation, meals, and the opportunity to experience life in rural Ireland. There is plenty of free time to explore the Kerry Way, nearby beaches, mountains, Killarney National Park, and all the beauty that County Kerry has to offer. -
