Hi, we are a family of five living in Cork city and we are looking for someone to come live with us for 3+ months. I'm Maria and work in the area of healthcare research. My husband, Michael, works with the Department of Education. We have recently moved into a new house 5km from Cork city on a main bus route with direct and regular buses to the city. We live in a lovely area with many amenities close by such as beautiful walkways, swimming pool, tennis club etc. Ours kids are ages 2, 4 and 6. We would love someone that is kind, responsible and fun to help with childcare and light housework, particularly in the evenings when the older girls finish school. If you are interested, you will have free bed and board (private bedroom) close to lovely Cork city. We are looking for someone easy-going yet reliable and responsible.
