This was my first workaway experience, and it was amazing. I lived with Triona, Micheal, Conor and Emma for three months and time flew by: they helped me with anything they could and made sure I was always comfortable, and were so open-minded and caring that I felt immediately integrated in their family, and into the surroundings as well.
I was

Triona and Micheal give so many ideas for activities, places to visit, and local and national curiosities and history that I felt I lived this experience and the trips I made to the fullest. Midleton and Cork are very interesting and there's always something to do, and many other au-pairs and workawayers to meet around the area.
I am very grateful for the kind hospitality I received and I will remember the months in Ireland with this family for sure.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

We loved having Tullia stay with us for a number of months. She's one of the kindest, most caring and gentle girls and she blended into our home so easily. She got on great with everyone and was so independent and sociable. Her dedication to her studies was outstanding. We were very lucky to sample her gorgeous food. We felt privileged to be

This has been my first time as a workaway, and it couldn't have gone better. I spent the entire summer with Triona and her family, and it was a unique and enriching opportunity that I will never forget.

… read more home from day one. I had the chance to get to know a different culture and experience what it's like to be part of an Irish family.
Taking care of their children was a constant joy. The kids were delightful and always full of energy and enthusiasm.
In addition to my au pair responsibilities, the family invited me to participate in their activities and travels. I had the opportunity to discover the beauty of Ireland, from its breathtaking landscapes to its rich culture and vibrant cities.
Summer as an au pair in Ireland has been a life-changing experience. I've learned a lot, not only about Irish culture but also about myself. I am deeply grateful to the family for welcoming me and for all the support and love they provided.
I wholeheartedly recommend this family to anyone, as I'm sure that if you have the opportunity to be with them, you will miss them greatly when you leave.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Aina was a great addition to our family for the summer months. She was like a big sister to Conor and Emma and her rapore with them was excellent. They always had a great time together and plenty of laughter. Aina is a beautiful girl always smiling and laughing. She has great respect for her family and her parents should be so proud of her. She

She also was willing to make friends during her stay and had days out with them. We are all missing Aina since she left but hopefully we will keep in touch and meet up again in the future. We wish her all the best in her life and studies.

It was great having Sophie stay with us in our home. She was always so gentle and caring with the kids. Her reliability was outstanding and she was so tidy with amazing organisational and cooking skills. She was very friendly and we had plenty of nice conversations.

I stayed with Triona and her lovely family for about 2.5 months.

Michael, who is quite funny, is always up for a chat and you can learn a lot about lighthouses, Irish history and politics from him.
The kids are very easy to mind, very polite and fun to spend time with. The work is very easy as well. You will have lots of free time to discover the surroundings and get to know other Au Pairs.
My bedroom was very nice and cozy. It had everything I needed to feel comfortable.
The only reason you should not stay with this family is that you will miss them the minute you'll have them since they are so kind.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Lisa is such a lovely girl and was just fabulous to have in our home. She was so good with the kids and was always so clean and tidy with general housework.

Hello, I spent almost 2 months with Triona, Michael, Conor and Emma. They are such a lovely family, full of love, laugh and joy.

They make me part of their family and they took me with them for visiting new sceneries. I enjoyed my time with them very much.
The work is very easy, I had a lot of free time to explore Cork and its surrounding. You'll also find everything you need in Midleton. There's a lot of au pairs in the area so it'll be easy for you to meet people and make friends. The transport connections are very good too!
I had my own bedroom with everything you need to feel comfortable.
I recommand this family 100%, I was very lucky to stay with them for few weeks and I'll miss them very much.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
