  Description

  We would love to host someone this Autumn/Winter at our home in Carrickmacross.
  
  My name is Gareth, I live with my partner Karen and our daughter Lily who is 9 and our son Amergin who is 5. We have both worked all over the world and love meeting people from different cultures. We would love to welcome someone or a couple who like(s) spending time with children and would be able to help with childcare and household tasks.
  
  Depending on when you would arrive, we may also have some tasks around the house and outside.
  
  We have created a permaculture / regenerative agriculture space on the land.
  
  We are very interested in building a community. People who stay with us are welcomed into our home and family and we see it as an opportunity to build friendship and connection with one another.
  
  Our location is rural. We are 7km from the town but have an electric bike that can be used and/or can offer lifts into town. The town is 1 and a half hours from Dublin and Belfast by public transport.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  The area is very rural so you have the benefit of peace and quiet. But we are just one and a half hours north of Dublin and there is regular bus service so you would be able to visit other parts of Ireland too. There is a famous Irish poet from very near called Patrick Kavanagh if you are interested in poetry. There are walks and lakes to visit nearby if you want to explore the Irish countryside.
  
  You will most definitely learn from the children x You could also learn about regenerative agriculture, growing fruit and vegetables, or working on a small farm. We are both avid readers and have an many books on permaculture, food growing, regenerative agriculture, herbs, yoga, meditation, Buddhism, parenting, and children's education that you would be welcome to borrow and enjoy!

  Aide

  We would love to welcome someone or a couple who likes spending time with children and would be able to help with some childcare and household tasks. Depending on the season, we would also have some light tasks outside.
  
  We like to be active with our children. We do lots of art, craft, baking, cooking, singing, stories, outdoor tasks and play.
  
  Ideally, we would like to have someone/the people stay for a minimum of a month (with a preference for slightly longer) so that they can build a relationship with the children.

  Carrickmacross is a small town with a population of a couple of thousand. There are pubs and a few restaurants. There are several supermarkets, bakeries and coffee shops etc. We are 1 and a half hours from Dublin and from Belfast with bus routes to same.
  
  Our farm is 7km from the town. We have bicycles that guests have used in the past to visit the local areas and the town but we don't recommend walking on the main road to town as it is not very safe for pedestrians. We can facilitate lifts into town also as we usually drive in and out several times a week.
