Description
Hi there, my name Fionnula I live in a stunning bungalow overlooking a breathtaking Irish lake in Sligo . Myself and my partner have one very friendly and placid dog and a friendly donkey. I am looking for someone who would like to experience many things that Ireland has to offer as this is a very unique location. Day-to-day tasks would include gardening and cleaning of the house. One can experience an extended cultural experience here as we have lakes and many hikes locally. I may travel from time to time for very short trips and this would entail babysitting our dog and the donkey. This post is available to start immediately or as soon as possible and would run for four months or even up to a year.
I am looking for someone to help 5 hours a day, five days a week
