  Descripción

  We are a family with three young children (boy 6y, girl 9 and a boy of 10). My husband is a location manager and stuntman while I am a journalist and run a children's clothing business. We have recently moved to a beautiful rural location about 50 minutes from Dublin. You will have two consecutive days off and will have plenty of time to explore the country. We are looking for someone to help out around the house and garden with the animals and children and for someone to be a confident rider and to help with exercising ponies. These are my children's ponies and often in the winter months they don't have time to ride them on school days so this would be very helpful if you can ride.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We are all native English speakers. This would be a unique opportunity to experience this historic part of Ireland. We are very near some wonderful ancient monuments and historic ruins as well as the lakes of the midlands. Dublin is only a bus ride away and from there you would also be within reach of the Wicklow mountains, beaches and cliffs around the coast.

  Ayuda

  I would like help both with my children and around the house and garden. All the kids are now at school from around 8am-3.30pm. We would love some help getting them ready in the morning and then doing chores around the house and garden such as feeding and walking the animals, exercising ponies, clearing bits of woodland, digging in the vegetable patches and helping to plant etc etc. Then you would have several hours of downtime to explore the neighbourhood, the grounds, walled garden and extensive lawns. There are many walks in the beautiful fields around the house, visiting the cows and ponies. In the evening when they are back from school it would be great to have some help while they are doing homework and preparing for dinner and to watch the others while the eldest is picked up. A knowledge of horses is essential and we have rolling fields you can ride through.

  Alojamiento

  You would have your own one bedroom apartment in the yard of this Georgian historic property. This workaway position would suit a couple as the accomodation is separate to the house. We have dinner together most nights but you would the option of cooking for yourself in the apartment.

  There is a bus stop in our local village with a couple of daily busses to Dublin but also more frequent busses run between our closest towns which also have constant transport to the capital. We are about a 20 minute walk from shops, cafes and pubs. This is a rural but very beautiful location.
