    Description

    I love my garden but feel unable to maintain it of late.. I am a FEEDER.... I love love love to cook and bake with people! I'm able to cater for different dietary needs.
    What I am looking for is a person or couple who would like to help me with some housework, gardening and dog walking. In turn you will have very comfortable living arrangement, your own room and living room as well as run of the house and garden. My home is just a 7min walk to the beautiful and bustling town of Westport - named best place to live in Ireland!

    Travelers will get to experience life in one of the best towns in the west of Ireland, 2km walk to town but still really peaceful. Westport nestled beside mountains and sea is a hotbed of traditional Irish music and is steeped in culture.
    I will teach you how to make many many dishes and traditional Irish baking along with some contemporary baking. I am fascinated by Irish and local history and so would provide good conversation and site seeing excursions.
    You will get endless attention from a wonderful dog.

    I am a home baker and work from a separate kitchen in the house. My house is too big for me and tasks are pretty demanding so I would like help with the house, preparing meals and would love someone who is interested in helping to get my mature garden back in shape and more nature friendly.
    I also have a wonderful dog, Bitsa, he is 10years old now but still full of life and I would love help to give him as much walks and attention as he deserves.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    I am a single 60 something with the heart of a much younger person. I am fun loving with what I consider a good sense of humor. My children are grown and moved away now, I love meeting people from all over the world and exploring/tour guiding my local area.

    Westport is a fantastic little town, you will be in walking distance of all the attractions. You are 2km from a nice swiming spot at the sea.

    BY bike you can cycle Croagh Patrick or many lovely beaches. Westport is easily accessible by train to Dublin 3.5hrs. Galway city is 1hr drive away.
