    Description

    Hello,
    We are a family of five plus dog living in one of the most beautiful holiday destination towns in Ireland. We have 3 children - two girls aged 13 & 11 and one boy aged 8 years. We recently moved back from living in Costa Rica for two years hence most of our photos show us enjoying the Caribbean. The kids are interested in all types of sports (rugby, soccer, gaa, swimming etc etc) building camps, selling homemade lemonade, making art, playing music and love anything to do with water sports. I manage some long and short term rentals so kept busy with that, gardens, general maintenance and running a household. Ger my husband works in Market Research and has just started an MBA in Circular Economy.

    We live in the beautiful town of Kinsale which is located at the start of the Wild Atlantic Way and is famous for its colourful streets, rich history, and fun things to do. It is very close to the Airport and Cork City and there is a local bus service on a regular basis throughout the day. Our house is like a bus station so you will get to meet lots of people. We are located within a short walk to the town center and inner harbour. Kinsale has a great network of au pairs and other workaway's so it can be easy to meet other people.

    We have had some fabulous workaways stay with us and both us and the kids have always enjoyed the experience.

    Kinsale is a magical place - at the start of the entry to West Cork, on the Wild Atlantic Way, Cork city is an hours drive away (by bus) and the bus runs every hour from Kinsale to Cork. It's a 3 hour drive to Dublin also, so not so far if you want to see our capital city. People surf, sea swim, golf, hike, relax here on holidays all the time. We are lucky to live in a place where most people come to holiday!

    There are guided Historical Tours in the Town where you will be able to learn about the History of Kinsale and the surrounding area. There are Traditional Irish musicians in Pubs and varied Courses, activities and events. There are opportunities for sailing, water sports, horse riding, Yoga, Pilates, alternative therapies and much more.

    Charles Fort and James Fort are both popular interesting Historical places nearby to visit

    There is a very active au-pair and workaway community in Kinsale which can easily be found on Whatsapp and Facebook.

    You will have loads of time to explore this beautiful part of Ireland.

    Aide

    We would welcome someone during the months of June, July and August to help with daily chores, cooking, garden and a fondness of playing with kids. Basically another pair of hands to help out. I do have a cleaner once a week which helps a little.

    We also love to try different food so being able to cook would be a great advantage but not essential 😃

    Your accommodation would be in a double room within our house with spectacular views overlooking Kinsale harbour.

    Although we were living in Costa Rica for nearly two years our Spanish is unfortunately not the best...

    Our house was a dream build which we completed in 2017. We enjoy breath-taking views overlooking Kinsale town and outer harbour. We are a short walk in one direction to Kinsale town and all it has to offer and in the opposite direction is Summercove Village with it's famous Bulman Pub, Sauna and beach, historical Charles Fort and coastal walks.

    Accommodation is offered in the downstairs study which has a double futon with mattress topper. Shared main bathroom but we have an en-suite which the kids mostly use. All other areas are shared within the house.

    I spent many years travelling all over the world so have huge experience travelling. We are outgoing and would love to share our space with someone like minded, interested in the world around them and curious to travel and see it. Kinsale is beautifully placed in Ireland, stunning location, amazing food, and great friendly people. I would like our Workawayer to be independent and happy to explore, meet new people and enjoy this beautiful area of ours.

    It is possible to park at the bottom of the garden and enjoy spectacular views depending on whether or not you have 4x4 as the access is a little steep.
