  Descripción

  Hello we are Becky and Reuben, we have a small family and run a water sports company together.
  We have 2 childring, Síofra 4, and Lúca 2, Im expecting baby no3 in May.
  
  We run a Kayak and Canoeing business which is located within 2 miles from our home. We run summer camps, festivals and kayak and canoe / bushcraft lessons throughout the summer. It would be great to find someone who is a water sports enthusiast too so they could come and enjoy Lough Derg in their spare time!
  
  As I'm expecting baby no3 in May I won't be working on the water, however I will be travelling up and down to the workplace and may need a hand with someone watching over the baby for a few minutes at a time while I deal with customers and ensure the operation is running smoothly. Something like a right hand man / personal assistant!
  
  We live in a cottage on a quarter of an acre, we have chickens and a poly-tunnel so some help with maintaining this would also be super!
  Attending to the animals and the plants + vegetables and keeping the place looking sweet!

  Spending time with our small family and helping in and around our cottage.
  
  A chance to improve on English language skills, outward bound / canoe and kayaks available to use if liked! To be in one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of the world!
  
  We are based in a very rural spot, about 2 miles from the local village of Kilbarron, where there is a shop and pub. typically Irish. We are also about a 5/10 min drive from Terryglass which is a very beautiful thriving spot next to the lake and is always buzzing in the summer time, there is live music every night and yoga twice a week here too.
  
  Our water sports business is set in an idyllic rural location, very much 'away from it all' on the banks of a great lake. Zero traffic and pollution allows wildlife such as birds of prey and wild cats to be amongst and see as we paddle.
  Our lake is untouched and undiscovered, we have visitors from all over the world that come to kayak with us throughout the summer.
  
  Travellers can expect to meet local people at our base, spend time at the lake with us and enjoying the irish countryside.
  
  At the end of summer we will be hosting 2 small events / festivals in which they could play a part if desired!
