    Descripción

    We are a family of 4 living near Clonakilty in the south west of Ireland. We have had many people from countries all over the world staying with us...we love to travel but now with teenagers and work life, it's harder to see as much of the world! Workaway is such a great site and we have had some fantastic travellers stay with us!!Our kids are 16 and 17 years old and both in secondary school. We are looking for a happy, independent, flexible person to come and stay with us. We are laying out our garden at present so lots of odd projects in this area and any experience here would be appreciated! We usually plant vegetables in the springtime and need help then with care and watering! Sometimes there is painting and upkeep to fences around the garden also. We have a relatively big lawn also that needs to be cut every week in summer.

    Generally our needs are very varied and flexible and range from general help around the home, some cooking, dog-walking or helping in the garden if you're interested! The kids enjoy learning about cultures from all over the world and it's a help to be exposed to different languages also! They have grown up with people from all over the world staying with us and are very accepting of everyone.
    We love trying new foods and if you like to cook you are welcome to experiment in our kitchen! Perhaps twice a week I would ask for help in preparing or cooking our evening meal, usually the days I am on the road all day! We eat a varied diet, have a love of fresh fish from our coasts, we try to eat good quality meat and free range chickens and some vegetarian as I'm an 'ex-vegetarian' and love wholesome food:}The area is beautiful and there's plenty of cultural things to do in Clonakilty, a town with great Irish music, a wonderful community spirit and a place you'll row to love!

    You will experience our wonderful Irish culture through different music/events and places of interest nearby. Clonakilty is approx 1 hour from county Kerry, one of Ireland's most visited tourist regions. There are many outdoor pursuits in this region. This little niche in west Cork attracts many people from all over the world, so although you're in Ireland, expect to meet many other nationalities who have made Clonakilty their home!
    In our home, we will treat you as one of the family, and help you achieve whatever you came to Ireland for😊

    We have three dogs, Charlie and Cookie who are Jack Russell's, and Molly who a Golden Retriever! They love their walks every day. You definitely need to love dogs as we are all dog lovers in our home😁 Any help here is very welcome!

    I used to work 2 mornings a week as a practice nurse in a busy GP practice near our home. Since 2023, however I have been doing all the school runs, at least 80kms a day, and I was working solely at home. I started back to more flexible nursing work in April this year and I still manage most of the school runs until my son does his driving test in September (there is a huge delay in Ireland at present!🙈) We all help out with housework, but it's hard to keep on top of it all sometimes. I have various old injuries from a road traffic accident 23 years ago (I was a pedestrian hit by a motorbike). In order to pace myself and keep pain away, an extra pair of hands for a few hours a week is so helpful, plus it keeps stress away and we enjoy showing you around in return when we have time!:-) My husband Les works as a machinery contractor, he is generally in a quarry during spring and summer and he does hedgecutting in the autumn and winter months. He also does his own digger work/garden projects. As he has to work long hours during this time, I admit I really enjoy having the company of a workawayer around:)

    Your own bedroom is very comfortable. You have your own bathroom with shower downstairs also, within the main dwelling house. The house was renovated and is done up in traditional irish farm house style. We have an open fire, stunning views from our patio looking across the hills to the Kerry mountains and good internet connection. In summer 2020 we got our windows replaced so the house is warmer and cosier now!!

    Algo más...

    There is endless possibilities for sightseeing, hiking, surfing (local surf school in Inchydoney) , listening to great irish music, exploring our irish history, horse riding, beautiful beaches 15 minutes drive away, Cork city 45 minutes away, and an hour away is County Kerry where more fantastic scenery and activities await you...mountainclimbing, biking, culture etc. Not forgetting also that west cork is a food lovers paradise!! We have some great farmers markets and super restaurants/cafes in the locality. As a word of warning...many people come to visit Clonakilty and never leave....😉😉

    We have good Internet connection. We don't mind if someone studies while staying with us. Generally we have a quiet house and we respect your privacy while you're here! During covid, we already had a student stay with us to help and study at the same time.
