Description
We live in the costal countryside in South Kerry, Ireland in an area called Ballinskelligs. It is very beautiful here. There are beautiful beaches, water sports such as kayaking and fishing, mountains to explore and walkways to enjoy. It is also a very popular region for cycling. We have a selection of really good restaurants and cafes also in the area.
We have twin 6 year old boys who are full of fun and chat. I am having to return to work after being on Carer's Leave for my Dad, who passed away recently and consequently need help with the boys on the days that I am working. I am an Advanced Paramedic Practitioner with the Ambulance Service in Ireland and we work a variety of day and night shifts. My husband, Dan, is a driving tester and part-time farmer. So usually either on or the other of us are around. We offer board, 3 meals daily, laundry facilities and pocket money.

Mind the boys on the days that I am working and the mornings that I finish a night shift. So the work varies but usually is not more than 25-30hours. Need to help out one weekend every four weeks but on those weeks you are pretty much off during the weekd
