  Description

  My husband, Matthew, will be away for work most of the time during April and most of May. I am therefore looking for an au pair who would be willing to assist me during this time.
  
  I am looking for someone not just to spend quality play time with my thirteen-month old boy, but someone who will also enable me to do so, by helping with cooking and housework. I am extremely particular about the way I run my kitchen, so I would expect any au pair to follow the system I use. Specifically, I would expect them to help themselves to breakfast and tidy up after themselves afterwards, and make either dinner or lunch for either us and/or the baby every weekday. I will need three hours every weekday to do my work (from home) also, and this can include the baby’s nap time. Lastly, we built a new house in the countryside, and moved in just before Christmas, so the house still needs a lot of organisation, and I need help painting and repurposing two items of furniture. This kind of work I would do together with our au pair after the baby has gone to bed for the night.
  
  I am a classical, self-employed cellist, so I would be also looking for someone who would be willing to come on a small tour of two specific areas of Ireland (Donegal and Mayo) with me for dates in April. A shared hotel room would be provided for these dates.
  
  If you love walks in rural settings and spending time with young children, be in touch!
