Description
I am Greek and have lived in five countries — the UK, Greece, Australia, Ecuador, and now Ireland. I have a 10-year-old son who was born in Ecuador and speaks both Greek and English. I also share my home with two beautiful Ragdoll cats and a Shiba Inu dog — all beloved members of our family.
I am an entrepreneur, highly educated, and manage my own business. We live in a spacious country house in Ireland on one acre of land beside a small river, offering all the comforts for workawayers to enjoy — including a gym, sauna, jacuzzi, and home theatre — while helping with the house, garden, and cooking.
There are also learning opportunities for those interested in management, digital marketing, and entrepreneurship.
We value traditional principles, and I’m looking for someone with strong values and good ethos to join us.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I live in a beautiful part of the Irish countryside in the tiny village of Timolin, County Kildare. You would have the opportunity to experience semi-rural life, while being just a short distance from nearby historic villages and towns, such as Athy, Baltinglass and Carlow, all of which have many sites of interest to visitors from castles to prehistoric monuments, museums, and outdoor pursuits. At the same time, we are just a 50 minute drive to Dublin, and there is much to explore there.
I speak Greek (native) and English, and I have been a university professor for more than 15 years, currently a successful entrepreneur, with a BSc, MSc, PhD and MBA. I am happy to help with language learning as well as entrepreneurship, management, marketing and running your own business,

Help
I'm looking for help with various tasks around the house, including cleaning, gardening, DIY and building projects, general maintenance, and cooking. The specific tasks will depend on your skills and preferences.
I live alone and have my child with me for 3-4 days each week. I'm open to hosting two individuals at the same time, but I'm not looking for couples.
The expectation would be for around 4-5 hours of help per day, for 5 days a week. It's important that you're easy-going, have an intermediate level of English and you are good with children.
Languages spoken
Greek: Fluent
English: Fluent
Accommodation
I own a large 4 bedroom house, with 3 ensuite bedrooms - two of which will be available as well as a desk in the office room (with a desk, computer, printer, etc), lounge, dinning room.
There is also available a large home cinema room, jacuzzi, gym and sauna. I have also built a beautiful tree house for my son and for kids to play.
Our home is on 1 acre and surrounded by a running stream. We eat mostly organic food.
What else ...
The village of Timolin is a short 12 minute drive to the historic town of Athy. There is a train station there, where you can get a 45-minute train to Dublin, and a bus next to the house. We'd be happy to drop you at Athy or other nearby towns like Baltinglass or Carlow. Within half an hour is also Blessington Lake, a popular place for tourism, and Wicklow mountains.
