Barbara stayed with us for 6 weeks and we really enjoyed having her stay with our family. She was a great help and did lots of nice things with the children including watercolour painting and yoga. Barbara is warm, friendly, very dependable, flexible which was important for me and easy going. She also was very independent and found lots of

Thank you family for the incredible experience. Sharing a month and a half with Joanne and her family was very fun and friendly. They are very cheerful and make you feel like you are their family. A nice experience to get to know Irish culture from the inside. They were patient with me because my English is not perfect. See you soon and I have

I really don't know where to begin with Emma as she brought so much to our family. She slotted in straight away. She stayed with us for three short months and we didn't want her to leave at all. During her time she did so much for us but also for herself. She integrated so well in the community and volunteered teaching French classes, she joined a

She is an energetic, independent lady who knows how to enjoy herself and brings fun to many people. Emma was very flexible with us and aware of our needs and her role within the house and she never failed to let me down. Emma's English is excellent and her communication skills are superb. She is super kind and caring and just a really beautiful person. She made me laugh a lot, I smiled when I was with her and felt very comfortable in her company. She has great empathy and a really gentle person. My parents also adored her as did my siblings. Emma also helped me transform the childrens bedrooms. We painted, sanded, redecorated the bedrooms and the furniture in it. Their bedrooms are so lovely and cosy now thanks to you. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma and you would be lucky to get her. She is always welcome back here in our home and we still miss her.

I've spent three months in this very welcoming and lovely family and I will keep very good memories of this workaway experience (which was the first one for me).
I loved discovering the Irish culture with Joanne’s family and friends in Fermoy, which is a very nice place to meet people.
I also loved playing with Rhona and Muireann and helping

During my free time I was also going out for a run in the woods near the house, visiting beautiful cities and cliffs, going to the international choir, going to the pub with some friends I met there.
Thank you again for welcoming me into your family, I enjoyed every part of my time with you. See you soon :)Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Nuria was our first worakawayer after many years without one. I have to say I knew before she came that we would work well together. Her English is amazing as she is an English teacher and instantly I connected with her over some video calls. I just knew she was exactly what I needed at the time. Nuria is a beautiful person, so kind, thoughtful,
… read more funny and also great company. My children loved her as did my husband and I and we quickly became very good friends. She was exactly what we needed and a copule of times she took the children off on day trips to town on their bikes, to the the park, she took them for pizza and ice cream. She also was great to help around the house. She offered us a very welcomed break. Nuria liked to cook and is really good at it and cooked a few times and made a delicious cake with the children once. She helped me in more ways than she could ever imagine. Nuria joined our family and we became very good friends. Since her initial visit we have come together with both our family's on many occasions. She visited us with her beautiful children last year for Christmas and we spent a few weeks together in the summer also. Nuria is easy going, adaptable, flexible, funny, affectionate, kind and caring and I would not hesitate in recommending her as an absolute gem. You would be blessed to get her.

I spent a month with Joanne and her family and I would say it's been the best experience of my life. So warm and loving, I fell in love with all of her family and I miss them so much... We have become close friends and I'm sure we'll meet again in the future. Just what I was looking for, I couldn't be happier :)
Joanne introduced me to all her
… read more family and friends so I had the chance to live a 100% Irish experience. This family is perfect if you are mature, sociable, friendly and easy-going, because they like spending time with people and you'll have lots of opportunities to practice your English. I specially liked spending time with Joanne because she's an amazing person, so I went with her everywhere and she made the most of my experience. I didn't need anything else.
I loved spending time with the girls, babysitting them, taking them down to town on their bikes, watching films at night while mum and dad enjoyed their night out... I also hoovered the house and cleaned the bathrooms and kept the kitchen and living room tidy and clean. It was nothing I wouldn't do myself in Spain. I also did some weeding and gardening with Joanne, which was very relaxing for both of us.
We made lots of things together such as cooking, baking, having great meals together, going for a walk, going for a swim in the reservoir, going camping, having a pint, going for a jog in the mornings, doing meditation... If you want to, you'll become another member of the family, which is fantastic.
I would recommend this experience to anyone who is open minded and really wants to involve herself/himself in the family. I can tell you, you won't regret it.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

It is really difficult to describe what an incredible experience this has been. I met a wonderful family who made me feel at home from day one. Joanne has been a big sister, a friend and a great confidante to me. A truly empathetic person with whom I could talk about everything, laugh and joke. Her husband, Ronan, is always sunny and smiling, and

Polite and respectful, they know how to put a smile on your face and make you feel comfortable and loved. Whether you are on your first experience abroad or just want to improve your English, I can recommend this family with my eyes closed.
Thank you for everything you have done for me, see you soon!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

I spent three months with the family and I can say that it was one of the best experiences of my life. They made me feel I was part of the family from the first minute I walked through the door, where I was greeted with smiles from the whole family. The girls are lovely, Rhona will never let you feel bad and Muireann will make you laugh every day.
… read more Joanne is a beautiful person, caring, cheerful and a good confidant; like a big sister! Ronan is always in a good mood, listening to good music and ready to talk history and Irish culture. Joanne also introduced me to her big and fabulous family and friends, so I felt I lived a complete experience in Irish culture and way of life. If you are a person who loves family time and children, this is your family. I really have enjoyed every moment, from the first dinner with Joanne's family on St. Patrick’s day to the last one when it was time to say see you soon. I also enjoyed the conversations with Joanne, Ronan, Joanne's sisters along with her brothers in law and her parents, as well as spending Sundays as a family, playing, running, colouring with the girls and their cousins. I can't thank my Irish family enough. My door will be always open to them. I miss them so much.
During the weekdays I helped out with the housework (nothing anyone wouldn't do in their own home) and spent time with the girls. During the weekends I spent some time driving around the island in my car. I totally recommend you to take your own car if you can, this is the easiest way to get to know Ireland (also known as the Emerald Isle) and you will have much more independence. In Fermoy itself I met a lot of people from different nationalities, so it was easy for me to go out partying on the weekends and make plans with them; people are generally outgoing, so if you are a person who likes to make friends, you won't have a problem.
I can only say that you won't regret it, if you are thinking of going to Ireland, this is your family.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

It was a real pleasure to stay with Joanne, Ronan, Rhona and Muireann. This family is very welcoming. I stayed for 2 months and I felt comfortable from the beginning. The girls are sweet and loving and we had a great deal of fun. Besides, I had great talks with Joanne and Ronan, but also with Joanne’s sisters. It was a bit difficult to leave but

How to start...I had a wonderful time in Ireland because of this great family and I felt more as a part of the family than I could have ever dreamed of. It was so sad to leave and although it's been a while ago, I still miss Joanne, Ronan and the two cutest girls on earth.
The moment I stepped in through their door I felt already at home. Ronan
… read more and Joanne are so warm and welcoming and the older girl was really excited about me, which made my arrival very easy. Every moment of my stay, they treated me like a family member. I met their relatives and friends and spent a lot of nice evenings with all of them gathered around the kitchen table. Not only Joanne and Ronan but also their family and friends made me feel like part of the them, which was so lovely.
Weekdays I mainly assisted Joanne with the daily duties. I helped her with the girls, which was always a pleasure, cause they are both so cute and funny or sometimes I did some work around the house. As Joanne was normally around as well, we always shared the work and had lots of fun. So it never felt like work and there was always plenty of time to chat with Joanne and the girls. I had the weekends off and there are many other workawayers and aupairs, so I spent a lot of time with them in Fermoy and Cork.
If you enjoy family life and love to spend time playing and colouring with two sweet girls, I'm sure this is the right place for you as well.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

I can only agree with Chiara's feedback:) I stayed for two month in the winter and came back for another month and both times I had an amazing time! Joanne and Ronan are very easy going and there is always something to talk and laugh about. You always feel very welcome and their family and friends are very friendly aswell. Like Chiara, I also felt
… read more like I am part of the family very fast. Both girls are very sweet and outgoing and always bring a smile to your face. Especially the older one is very talkative and loves to play and if you watch TV with her you can learn new vocabulary from the kids shows (it's really helpful).
Fermoy is a nice small town which has everything you need, you can reach everything by foot and you also have easy access to the bus to Cork and other cities. I can reccommend you to try out one of the small and cozy cafés in Fermoy. You also have the possibillity to get in touch with other young students or Aupairs.
And last but not least the dog, who loves cuddles, going for walks or playing in the garden and is very gentle. All in all this was a great workaway experience where I found a second home and made friends for life :)Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

This was my first experience with Workaway and I couldn't be happier! I spent nearly 7 weeks with this lovley family and I am so grateful for this time.
