  Descripción

  Come and share your cultural expertise with us. We are a warm and friendly family and have lot of experience with students and workaways staying with us all year round. You will speak English with us - I (single mother) am the only person in the family who speaks Spanish. I am happy to invite you on any family trips we may have. We like camping and we own a caravan. I am a researcher, I do some lecturing and work in social services. My 15 yr old son likes playing computer games and does boxing and my 6 yr old boy goes to school and camps during the summer. We live by the beach. There is a park across the road that has a free outdoor gym. We are walking distance from the beach and the city. There is an excellent bus service near the house, bringing you into the city and all over the country.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Galway has a lot of offer, it is a coastal city and near the Irish native speaking communities. There is loads of beaches and many colleges. During the summer there are lots of mini festivals in the city centre. I speak some Spanish, however, I am English and my kids were born in Ireland. If you want to improve your English this is a perfect arrangement. I am very knowledgeable in the local area and Irish culture and happy to help and support any travel ventures. Galway is an excellent place to base yourself as it has brilliant public transport for the entire country - this is not something that all parts of Ireland enjoy.

  Ayuda

  I live with my two children - they are both boys - one is 15 years old and the other is 6 years old. We live in a nice family friendly estate in the west coast of Ireland, in a city called Galway. We have a nice garden and we are very social people.
  
  As I am a single mother, it would be better if you were female - it adds a bit of gender balance and easier for me to relax and connect in conversation. It would be great if you could drive, and if you are over 25 yrs you are covered to drive my car covered by insurance.
  
  Our family is looking for general support around the house - cooking, cleaning, childcare, errands - support with upkeep of the house. I have a few painting and decorating projects that I cannot finish as I do not have time as a I am a single mother, working full time.
  
  Someone who likes children and enjoys playing would suit our family as my youngest son active. But my 15 year old son does not need any support.
  
  Most days your hours are from approx. 2pm -7pm, and one afternoon at the weekend when we all cook and clean together like a family for a few hours.
  
  I am flexible if you have travel plans - as long as the arrangement is good and you are happy and enjoying the experience. I am happy to do whatever works best.
  
  It would be great to video chat and discuss all before you arrive so everyone feels happy about the arrangement. We would like you to feel welcome and respected for the time that you are staying with us.

  I would be delighted to engage in a language exchange of Spanish and English. Someone who has a reasonable standard of English would be beneficial however, as its a busy household and its important you can communicate and have fun with my youngest son so everyone feels comfortable and happy.

  Alojamiento

  You have your own private living space, separate from the rest of the house. like a private accommodation unit in our garden. Your space has a bathroom with a toilet, sink and electric shower. It has a sofa bed, a kettle, a toaster, a microwave/cooker and a fridge. There is separate entrance to your unit which is through the garden and I have a electric scooter especially for you so you are not stressed with time, walking and the weather.
  
  I will buy all the food required for cooking family meals and you are welcome to eat our food. I will provide some food for your bedsit - breakfasts, bread, snacks, tea, coffee, biscuits, fruit and yogurts.
  
  I am also happy to provide shampoo, shower gel and towels etc...when you first arrive.

  Algo más...

  Galway city is on the coast, surrounded by beautiful beaches. We live in the heart of Galway, 3min drive / 15min walk / 7 min on bike/scooter - from from the city centre. There are shops and buses just outside. There is a park across the road that has a running track and free public outdoor gym equipment, tennis courts, baseball courts and a skateboarding track. I have excellent references from our past students and workaways and students come back again and again. I will do my upmost to make sure you feel welcome and happy and support you to go on your own travels and experiences. I am also happy to bring you on any family holidays or trips we are going on. I enjoy hosting vibrant people we can learn from as a family.

  Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas

  Our Caravan is parked outside the house. We live in a cul de sac area and the only people who come in to the area are those that live here. So if you are travelling with a campervan that is no problem.

  Podría aceptar mascotas

  We love pets, and currently dont have any of our own. So a pet around the house would be a lovely experience for us.
