Description
Hi there, my name is Jimmy. I live in an old farmhouse with my partner Emilie who is French and our son Liam. We are about 1 km from the sea in a beautiful location just outside Kilmore Quay in Co. Wexford. This is a quiet peaceful place with some land and ruins of outhouses around the house. I'm passionate about health and wellness and nature and one day would like to convert the place into a wellness centre.

Language practiceGardeningDIY and building projectsBabysitting and creative playCreating/ Cooking family mealsHelp around the houseGeneral MaintenanceCultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can stay in a quiet peaceful environment close to the beach. If you like swimming or coastal walks you'll love this location. I like to practice Vipassana meditation and yoga and happy to share any knowledge. The house is an alcohol, smoking and drug free environment so if this appeals to you then great. I also juice and detox a lot and happy to provide juices and healthy mainly plant based meals. I have worked as an English teacher in the past so happy to help people with their English.

Our child is one years old and we would like somebody who loves interacting with children. We need help indoors cleaning and painting the rooms of the house. All paints are natural and eco-friendly. Outdoors we are construting a yurt and there is some general maintenance help, clearing of land and gardening.
