Description
Hello workawayers !! We are a family of 7 and run a busy dairy farm in Tipperary. David has farmed all his life and built up the farm. Jane is currently at home running the house and helps with some farm work. Our eldest daughter is married and lives nearby. Our son works on the farm fulltime and does some contracting work. Our youngest 3 children are in school.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Over the years we have hosted many au pairs in our home 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.
