Description
I HAVE JUST RECEIVED AN AU PAIR UNTIL LATE SEPTEMBER2025. Looking for someone for four to six weeks, mid October.
Hi! ***I am Síle-l ( she/her) which is Gaelic for Shiela. I live in the suburbs of Galway in the West of Ireland with my two children Ailbhe 4 and Una 7. I am looking for childminding and house cleaning help from mid October for one month or so. I am divorced but their Dad is over often and we have a wonderful co parenting partnership. I work as an Occupational Therapist in the hospital 5 miles away. I speak a bit of French and Spanish. We speak English and Gaelic at home. We live a 15 min cycle from the beach and have a bus to the city centre outside the house- this is about 10 miles/20 min bus ride. I am looking for child minding and house cleaning help October for about a month. I am biased but I love Galway. Galway is less busy and expensive compared to Dublin but so much fun and so close to nature.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We speak English and Gaelic here in the house but it's more like I speak Gaelic to the kids but they reply in English!
I practically don't have any time to take you places or organise activities for you so this would suit a super independent person who is glass half full and loves the idea of staying in a supportive home and keeping my house tidy and providing some child care.

Help
Child minding help and house cleaning for 4 weeks or so in October.
I can offer own room in the attic conversion which is lovely and private & own bathroom downstairs on first floor which is tiny but yours. All food is included but I can't cook for you as I work outside the home. I'll buy in whatever you need or want.
You will be very well located and can enjoy nature, the city, concerts etc.
Looking for a relaxed, fun, creative, patient, female aged 20 years + who is very responsible, mature, independent and a self starter. Because I work full time and a parent it will be important you don't require alot of additional emotional support or minding. If you grew up doing lots of summer jobs, living with responsibilities.. doing chores and stuff like that then this is a good fit! Im trying to raise happy confident little girls so trying to keep them from the internet and crazy TV shows as much as possible and cultivate their own skills. If you're the kind of person who can get on a kids wavelength that's great.
