  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Over the years we have hosted many au pairs in our home when the children were small and many still come back to visit and are considered part of the family. Our home is a five minute walk from a small town which has a park, a gym, shops, churches and pubs. There are many sports clubs in the area eg. soccer, darts etc. providing an opportunity for someone to become involved in the community. We live in the centre of Ireland so travelling around Ireland is easier. We would like if someone coming has basic English.

  Help

  We are currently looking for a girl to come and help us as soon as possible for a minimum of 3 months.
  We would like to host a girl to help with milking cows and general farm tasks.
  Farm experience would be great.

  What else ...

  As I said we live in the centre of Ireland & from our nearest big town you can access the Dublin to Limerick bus route. There are many heritage sites and cultural experiences in the area but living in our community you would get a taste of the real Ireland. You would be included in family events and gatherings if you wish.
