Description
My name is Carmel and I live with my two dogs in West Cork, in a beautiful rural Location between Clonakilty and Rosscarbery. We are lucky to have a range of amazing beaches, 7 in total, all within 10 minutes of our home. Our local towns are vibrant and dynamic with active cultural scene. I have a medium size garden but due to mobility issues and upcoming surgery, I would hope to host somebody who would undertake mostly gardening and some general outside maintenance. A love of dogs is essential!
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Animal Care
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am happy to provide any traveller with an authentic experience of living in an Irish home. As a language teacher with many years experience, I can also provide opportunities to learn and improve English language skills in a total-immersion setting. I have many cultural interests, music, history, drama, art etc and would be very happy to facilitate any visitors participation in such activities.
Help
The majority of the work I would like help with will be in the garden, weeding, clearing, hedge-cutting and planting at particular times of the year. Dog walking may also be required from time to time. There may also be some outside painting required on the fence as well as general maintenance and tidying
