Hello, We are an Irish/French family who are looking for someone to share our family life in West Cork. We live in a beautiful place in the country 10 minutes from the beach and a lively town called Clonakilty. In fact we are moving into town this summer so we will be based there from July onwards. Our new house is based within walking distance of town and the countryside. We have two lovely boys aged 5 and 8 called Liam and Dylan. We Have a baby girl called Katie who is nearly two. We are looking for someone mature with experience of children and who would like to experience beautiful West Cork . We have a car that is available if you can drive. We would love to help you discover Irish culture and our local community. I would be happy to speak English to you and help you with this process.
About us
We have three children Dylan aged 5 years , liam aged 5 and katie who was born in august 2017. They are happy lively children. My husband is French and has been living here for nearly eleven years and I am Irish. We currently live 15 mins drive from a attractive,busy town called clonakilty which has many amenities such as food markets, cinema, clubs and actives, drama groups and theatre, language groups and classes, pubs, a lively music scene and and diverse Irish and multicultural feel. we will be moving there in July/August. We enjoy outings to the city which is an hour away, to the beach, forest and natural resources around the area. My husband is a huge guitar fan and plays electric guitar as well as bass. I myself love to sing and and learning the traditional low whistle. I come from a long background of traditional music and love to go to music sessions. It also love cooking and enjoy learning about dishes from other cultures. I must add that I was myself an nanny in Ireland and other countries and therefore I know what it is like!
