More details about your skills
I grew up in a patchwork family. I have got two half-brothers, aged 6 and 9. I have a stepbrother aged 13 and cousins aged between 3 and 7. I love to work with children so I think I’m the right one for your kids.
I am a dancer (especially march dance) since I’m 3 years old and I love music. So let’s have fun together.
Besides school I worked at IKEA and had to deal with customers. I was a cash desk staff.

What else ...
I had my first workaway experience in Ireland and stayed with a wonderful Irish family and their farm. We have developed a great relationship over 4 months and I got the chance to explore the place and the Irish culture. I really enjoyed it and hope my future hosts will feel comfortable around and especially with me. Looking forward to meet you.

I stayed with Lone and Ola for the whole month of April. The tasks where mainly caring for the sheep (give silage, do the bedding, take an eye on the lambs, caring for the bottle-feed lambs etc.) and help during the busy lambing season. It was a wonderful experience and when I think back I always have a smile on my lips. Ola and Lone are great… read more

Staying with Josie was such a nice experience. She is a lovely host and a funny person. Living in her cabin in the middle of the woods was like therapy but also a huge adventure. The work was totally ok. Josie wrote us a list of things that needed to be done and we could choose ourself where to begin. If you are not comfortable with something,… read more

Left by host (Join a young family in rural ...) for Workawayer (Lucy)

We had the pleasure of hosting Lucy for about 4 and a half months when she joined our family as an au pair in autumn 2021. From the moment she arrived we knew she was going to fit right in. She was a wonderful addition to our family and our children formed such a great bond with her, she became like a big sister to them. She was great at helping… read more

If you ever think about joining this family, do it. I stayed with Rachel&John and the lovely kids for 4 months and I had an amazing time. It was my first workaway experience and I loved it.

I arrived thirsty at the bus stop where Rachel picked me up and she brought along a bottle of water for me. I love to think back to this moment because I felt… read more so comfortable and welcomed from the moment I arrived.

Rachel is a good host mother and she is experienced with hosting people. She is a great cook and you will definitely come back with new recipes. Furthermore, I got to meet several new people as Rachel introduced them to me. It was great! If you desire, you could join a hiking group (ask Rachel) and explore the stunning landscapes. I did this three times and I can definitely recommend it. You will learn about the Irish culture, about unknown paths and fairies. Because of Rachel I met a lovely girl who was au pairing in Sligo as well and we have become great friends. Thanks a million Rachel!

John is a great farmer and knows a lot about his work. He had to cope with a lot of my questions because I was really interested in farming. Also some funny questions like “How fast can a sheep run?”. He has a great sense of humor and you will definitely laugh with him. John allowed me to use the quad and drive through the fields. It was great fun. He also let me try to drive the new JCB, which I loved!

The little monkeys (how Rachel calls them) are lovely. They felt like my own siblings and I really miss them.

Cormac gives the best cuddles and his smile will heal you. He is a little farmer and once he has his “Bruder booklet” he will never stop talking about what he wants. You need to have patience. :)

Sarah is the most creative little girl you will ever met. She loves drawing and is really good at it. You’ll have to help her with homework, which took time but was rewarding as I could teach her how to write correctly.

Erika is a responsible girl. She loves to help you. We had a great time dancing in the kitchen to loud music. It was so funny. She also taught me some Irish dancing.

Tessa is a lovely girl as well. She has a lot of energy and is really sporty. We had a great time on the trampoline and we loved play “fighting” (more climbing on top of me and trying not to fall off). She is really good at it.

All in all staying with this lovely family is something I can definitely recommend.
Thank you Rachel and John.

Left by Workawayer (Lucy) for host (Help out on our quaint rescue ...)

I stayed on the pig rescue farm for about a month and it was a great experience. I can highly recommend you to stay with Cathy and the lovely animals. Cathy knows a lot about her pigs and how they behave. When you see Cathy with the pigs, you can really feel her passion and this is just amazing. I learned a lot about pigs and farming.
