    Description

    I am looking for only one volunteer from around the 22 of may until the end of July, Ideally I would like somone who plays football or does a martial art to play with my ten year old boy.

    Hi,
    If you would like to live in a pretty village by a river in a beautiful historic part of Ireland and get to know Irish culture or improve your cooking. This could be a wonderful exchange for you. I am looking for a extrovert volunteer to help us with our very busy lives .

    Tasks will include light help around the house, painting ,walking the dogs daily , occasional housesitting and cooking nutritional meals ( we share the cooking, taking turns) and living as a family. I work nearby managing a small Hotel. I need someone is kind hardworking & outgoing with vegetarian cooking skills , creative , lots of fun and good english. I live forty minutes from Dublin of which a bus goes every hour and there are lots of beautiful walks and historic monuments in the area. I love to cook ( We are vegetarian) I like to garden and design and our home is very comfortable. We live beside the village of Slane in Co Meath .

    We are mostly vegetarian occasionally eating meat we would prefer a similar vegetarian . We would like one day a week to do an overall clean the rest of the week we ask just the kitchen and washing & ironing kept on top of & the dogs walked & fed twice a day. Your days off can be Saturday and Sunday or Tuesday or Thursday but we can be completely flexible. We have wifi throughout the house and your bedroom is ensuite. There are lots of local activities such as kayaking, fishing, and swimming in the river in the summer. We live beside the village and there is a few restaurants and bars within walking distance - 10 mins. This opportunity may suit someone who is outgoing and used to the countryside or is a digital nomad and is looking to explore Ireland or is studying .

    We can go through the plan every Sunday. Holiday period is different & your role is more of help around the house & dog minding & gardening.
