We are looking for workaways who are already in Ireland as we do not have separate accomodation for people to do their quarantine upon arrival in the country.

We are an easy going couple with two boys who are 10 & 12 and are full of energy! They both love to play soccer, go to the beach, bounce on their trampoline,cycling and generally spend time outside. They also love to read books, colour and draw.
We live in a small village in West Cork in the countryside, beside the sea and beautiful beaches so it would be ideal for someone who enjoys nature and the outdoors. Our winters are very quiet here but in the summer it is a very busy spot with plenty of tourists around so there is a lively summer atmosphere!

We are looking for 2 people to help take care of our 2 boys, and do a little cooking while we are at work. We run a busy cafe and need help in making sure they are safe and well.
We would like someone who enjoys playing and interacting with kids and be like an older brother/sister to them, also someone who is patient, responsible and understands children. We would like also that one could use their own initiative, be flexible and happy to do things independently.

Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Bruno & Laleska)

Bruno and Laleska stayed with us for a month during the summer to help us with our 2 boys.
They are a really great couple and were fantastic company for the boys. They are full of energy, fun, kind, very easy to get along with and always smiling!
They were always happy to do things with the boys, take them to the beach, climb the mountain by us,… read more

We stayed with Sarah, Colin, Marcus and Lee for 32 days.

We wanted to do our first Workaway as Au Pairs and it couldn't have been better, the boys are very active, they like to play inside the house but they really love being outside.

If you’re an active person it’s the perfect place, I’m sure the boys will introduce you to Knockaphucka… read more

Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Paula)

Paula stayed with our family for a few weeks last October. She helped out with our two boys and took care of them when we were at work. She also helped out at our coffee shop if it was needed. We found Paula very pleasant and easy going. She was easy to talk to and nothing was ever a problem, she was always very willing to help, whatever the duty.… read more

I stayed at Sarah Jane´s for a total of 3 weeks in late 2019 and I honestly wish I could´ve stayed longer. Sarah Jane, Colin and the boys are just wonderful and will provide you with everything (and even more) you could possibly need. As things in their coffee shop had slowed down, I didn´t have too much work to do but I still got to mind the boys… read more

I know Sarah Jane and Colin from volunteering and also beeing a paid employee in their coffee shop/chip van. They are a hard working and honest family. Their boys Lee and Marcus are fun to play with and have good manners.

As a volunteer it always felt like beeing on holiday. They take care that workawayers feel at home and provide every help… read more

My name is Samuel, I'm a french guy who is 20 years old.
I experienced workaway for the first time during July, in 2019. We joined this lovely family with my friend Florian (french and 20 years old too) while we were a bit anxious to leave France knowing that it was our first workawayer experience and also knowing that our english level was… read more

Dejado por el workawayer (Jesus & Alba) para el anfitrión

I have been there for August and what I can say... It's been unbelievable in every aspect.

Firstly, West Cork, in special Goleen & Crookhaven in August are very nice, so you will be in a lovely beautiful place with lots of places to visit with the bikes that Colin and Sarah Jane offers you. So if you like nature and sports, you will be in the… read more perfect Workaway in order to enjoy your free time.

My experience at the beginning was quite unusual because, in my second day, kids went with their grandfathers for a week, so we (another French Workawayer and me) had quite free time, just helping Colin with general maintenance and keeping the house tidy. Colin normally didn't want we help him but we did it anyway because we wanted to help them! he was always really really really nice to us, and very hilarious!! We helped him mowing the lawn a few times, painting the house, trimming the bushes, putting on the wall a dartboard to the kids... In our free time, we went to Crookhaven, Goleen, Mizen Head, go-running to Barley Cove, Ballyrisode Beach, the main hill... I almost did 200 km between go-running and cycling... Also, we visit Cork... so, our time off was perfect. But this was when the weather was nice, so when not, we spend the time inside with parent's Netflix account and that was really unthinkable for me to imagine.

When kids arrived, I could learn a lot about them. They are very active, cheerful and they have real energy for jumping for 2 days in a row, so it was perfect for me and I enjoyed a lot... They love playing soccer (in the campsite is simply amazing with around 40 kids, it's literally a war haha), jumping (they have differents contest for that), war with theirs toy guns... Also, if you know about Clash Royale you will earn point for them because they totally love that and knows a lot about it. You really don't have to take care of them because both are very responsible and polite. Nice kids.

Kids had lot of activities to do in summer, I remember they were going to different sport activities two weeks in the morning, so when they finished, at the afternoon they were really tired so it was more difficult to speak with them and improve our English but it was not a real problem because Colin and Sarah Jane always wanted to teach us different and important things, like the kind of spoons hahaha. They had little or nothing free time in summer because they work a lot, but they always were keeping an eye on us in order to teach us with our English and telling us anecdotes, so we were very lucky with that.

I will not ever forget that they offered us to do a Surf Camp one week with Lee (eldest brother) in BarleyCove Beach, one of the best beach I have ever seen, while Marcus (little brother and "little monkey" as well) was with his father, when (we knew it), he was very busy, so I personally appreciate the effort because it was. Neither I won't forget the race go-running since Goleen to Crookhaven (5 miles) on 11st August, the night coming back to our home with Colin with the warning vest by foot, the greatest Chipvan of Crookhaven with the best fish and chips in all Ireland, the best sandwiches that you will ever taste in "Along the way" the coffee shop in the village... And the travels with the van, roller coaster!!!

I have slept like a baby every night (like Colin says), very comfortable room and the temperature in comparison with summer in Spain... well... no words! The food was perfect, very variated, tasty and with lot of vegetables. The fruits are awesome too, especially raspberries and blackberries! I am going to miss the nights there and the breakfasts.. what jams they have!!!

Don't worry about meeting new people... it's a little place and maybe you think there is not "young life" but there is. There are lots of Workawayers in Crookhaven, in my situation especially French people. I have met really nice people and I have laughed a lot.

To sum up... I have spent the best holidays of my life. I have learned so much English, I have improved it and I feel more confident so I hope that my marks now will be better... but the experience has been top. It's difficult for me to have imagined at the beginning how I was to end that experience so happy like I did. If you are a person active, like kids are, sports, and the insanely nature that West Cork has, pick this Workaway. This family is very generous, open-minded, funny, and since the first minute, you will feel one more in the family. Also, Irish people in general, are really kind with everybody.

I am already missing you, thanks for the best summer possible! I hope to see you again and you will have a friend in Spain forever. I have been very lucky!

My name is Klara and I spent 5 weeks with this family. I had an amazing experience. When you go there you are welcomed and you feel at home immediately. Everybody was really kind and forthcoming. I was welcomed to join family life but it was also accepted if I wanted to have some time for myself. The boys are amazing, too. Once you get to know… read more
