Description
Hello, we are a small family living in Kells, County Meath, Ireland. We live 5-10 mins walk to bus stop which will help you travel all over Ireland. We are just over 1 hour north of Dublin.
We have now hosted 7+ Workaway’s since January 23, all of whom had a great time ( I can put you in contact with the girls ) and are interested in hearing from you if you are looking to stay with an Irish family for a short / long time. In return you will really take care of 95% of the daily housekeeping tasks and spend time with Mara after school and us after work. We are both working professionals & daughter is in school daily. It would be great if you also enjoy cooking family meals from time to time. We are an active family, in a busy house - always something happening and we have loved including our new friends while they have helped in many ways. You will generally have weekends to yourself to explore North & South! Thank you, Deborah.
