Description
Hi, my name is Pamela. I'm a primary school teacher with a lovely 4 year old daughter. We live in Kenmare, Co. Kerry. I am looking for help minding my daughter, cooking and some general help around the house or outside the house in the garden. We have a hive of bees and harvest our own honey and we have a little Shetland pony called Teddy and some hens.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live 5km from Kenmare town in the countryside. Someone who enjoys walking, hiking, sea swimming and sightseeing would like our area. Kenmare and Killarney are very popular tourist destinations and there is lots to see and do. There are also lovely restaurants and cafes. Weekends mostly free. I mostly need help with childcare and cooking and housework in the afternoons. I would prefer a Workaway that could stay a few months with us.

Help
I am looking for help minding my daughter, some help around the house, it would be lovely to have someone that enjoys cooking. Also, someone would enjoy painting, or weeding or gardening would be great. I have a new build and there are lots of little jobs if someone was interested.

I felt very comfortable there and all my tasks were very doable and fair. You live a bit outside the city, but Kenmare itself is a really nice little place from which you can also take the bus to explore the surrounding… read more

Listening, thank you for this incredible stay spent with you, we were very happy to meet Sibéal, a very happy and very smiling little girl, just like Pamela.
We hope to be able to come back to see you one day, it was a very nice experience to spend these two weeks with you.
My daughter loved her and Finja took great care of her. My daughter was always well cared for, happy and entertained.
