    Looking for Spring/Summer 2025

    We are a family of four, living and working on a farm in rural Co. Cork. We both work remotely and also run a small dairy farm. We have two kids, Molly 5 & Fionn 9, two dogs, Robbie & Max and two horses. We live a busy but relaxed life in very rural Ireland.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in a beautiful area, in rural Co. Cork, we are an hour from Cork city and 30mins from Killarney. We have both travelled a lot previously and look forward to welcoming travellers to our home :)

    There's loads to get involved in on the farm, so if you enjoy being outside and being with animals then we can provide lots of opportunities for learning here.

    We both work from home, so are around a lot but the house is plenty big and you'll have your own space.

    You don't need to drive, but it may be easier if you do. We can possibly provide a car to drive.

    Help

    We are looking for someone who can take care of the two kids in the mornings & evenings - 5 days a week. Generally 7/8am and then 3-7pm. You would need some experience with kids and be able to supervise their homework, serve them simple meals & general childcare. You are expected to pitch in with the house tasks - as you would in any household. There are some small painting tasks at some stages if you are happy to help out with this If you like you can help around farm, but it's not a requirement. We are always on the farm & live next door to family so there is always someone nearby if needed.
