Description
We are looking for help with our online business. You need relatively good English and admin skills. Sara will be walking you through the tasks that are needed including basic marketing/website development in beautiful Ballinspittle Co.Cork. We are a short walk into the local village and a ten minute drive to the fabulous kinsale with sailing and Ireland's best cafes and Restaurants. We are Sam and Sara with our two young boys 8 & 7 and a baby. We love the outdoors, sports, the beach, the woods and try to live a healthy lifestyle. Sam works in Finance and Sara is a functional Medicine doctor working online part time. Both of us work from home mostly. Sam travels sometimes. Our boys are in school and have activities some afternoons.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My husband and I have both travelled all over the world and experienced many cultures. We know what it is like to visit a new country and how to feel welcomed. We are happy to advise on day trips around our area and are both keen surfers/cycle/sail/hike etc so you could borrow our sports gear if appropriate. Sara speaks some german and French. We have two cars and are often going into kinsale or cork if you wanted a lift with us to either place once work is complete,
You can join us for meals or eat separately as you prefer.

the time Ireland flew by whilst staying at yours. Really! We enjoyed the beach and the time with the kids! Also the view! It’s so amazing. And now we can brag about our painting and cooking skills. Thanks for the recipe inspirations.
We hope you had a nice holiday.
See you soon. :)
