I spent three amazing weeks with Aishling, Katie, and Teddy, they truly felt like a little family full of joy and positive energy🌞🌞
Aishling was so kind to me. She showed me the most beautiful spots around Navan and shared all their stories. She was definitely the best guide I could ask for, that’s for sure aha!🥰🥰
Katie is such a smart and
… read more creative girl. Thank you for being so patient with my not-so-great English and for the little flute and piano lessons! And honestly, thanks for taking the time to play Roblox with me it was so much fun!!!!
Teddy is an absolute sweetheart . Thank you for all our little walks together!
My daily tasks were super simple and mostly in the mornings: sweeping the house, unloading the dishwasher, tidying up the couches, cleaning the kitchen, sometimes taking out the trash, tidying Katie’s room, and folding the laundry. Everything was easy, and I had my afternoons free.
Aishling is always caring and attentive, and she often offered to take me into town if she was heading that way. I got to visit Dublin a few times on the weekends and even joined some English classes in Navan on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I was also lucky enough to visit Galway with a friend of Aishling’s, who kindly offered to take me.
Honestly, I 100% recommend this family! If you’re looking for a warm, welcoming experience filled with good vibes and lovely people, this is the place to be!!!!
Thanks again for everything et à bientôt !!!🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Romane)
We had a wonderful time with Romane, and it was a pleasure to host her. During her stay, we enjoyed a lovely day exploring the Hill of Tara, Mellifont Abbey, and Clogherhead. Romane kindly extended her stay by an extra week, which allowed me to leave Katie in her care with confidence.
Romane also took the opportunity to visit Galway with a friend

Romane is a highly self-motivated young woman. She was up early every morning and consistently carried out her routine tasks. She maintained a healthy diet and was a positive presence to have around. She willingly walked the dog when asked and was open to taking on any task requested of her.
Overall, Romane's positive attitude, work ethic, and independence made her a fantastic guest. I highly recommend her to any future hosts.

I wish her all the best as she continues her journey and hope she enjoys many more adventures ahead.
Fair play to you Gabriella,
Take care.

From the very first moment, Aishling and Katie made me feel welcome in their home. The atmosphere in the house was always very pleasant and cheerful. Both Aishling and Katie are very friendly, kind and cheerful people.

Katie is a very happy, smart and creative child. I really enjoyed recording TikToks, playing Roblox, dancing and singing with her. Aishling is a laughable and funny person, always willing to teach me about Irish culture and answer all my questions about her country. Plus, her food is wonderful; you will never go hungry with her delicious dishes.
Teddy, the family dog, is calm and well-behaved. Sometimes I had to take him for walks around the house, which I enjoyed very much.
Aishling also took care of showing me nearby archaeological sites, which further enriched my experience. If you are looking to learn about Ireland, enjoy its culture and spend time with amazing people, I can't recommend this family more highly.Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Kala)
We were absolutely delighted to host Kala as our first Mexican Workawayer. During her three-month stay, she left an indelible mark on our lives, especially on my daughter, Katie. They became the best of friends, spending countless hours together, and it was heartwarming to see Katie so happy.

We would highly recommend Kala to any host. She is responsible, kind-hearted, and has a wonderful way with children. Thank you, Kala, for everything!Photos

Wei Wei stayed with us for three days. During her stay, she helped with taking down the Christmas decorations and organizing Katie's room, which we appreciated.
We feel that clearer communication and a focus on building connections could enhance future Workaway experiences for Wei Wei. Housework in our home typically takes a maximum of 1 or 2

We wish Wei Wei all the best in her future endeavors and hope she continues to grow and learn from each experience.
Sofia was a delight to live with. She was here for Katie's birthday party and helped blow up ALL of the balloons. She also got katie some beautiful gifts which she treasured.
Sofia got me back into eating healthy soups as this seemed to be what she enjoyed most and we experimented with many flavours. I still haven't attempted the mushroom soup
… read more again but it was really good... 🍄
Sofia was great at getting around and finding places. She was able to direct me how to get to Dublin and back on public transport. We both went to The Gaiety Theatre to see a show 'the awful auntie' and enjoyed a drink beforehand.
Sofia was gentle, kind and a calming presence. She is mature, sensible and was very helpful at all times.
I wish her well in her studies back home in Italy. And I look forward to hearing how life wìll be in the future. Stay in touch xx
This was my first workaway and to be honest it was the best first experience as a workaway I could ask for.
Being welcomed in Aishling's, Katie's, and Teddy's home was an unbelievable and memorable experience, they made me feel as another family member as soon as I stepped in their house.
It's important to be aware that it's a job that requires
… read more organisation and dedication since there's always so much to do and you won't be left wandering what to do during the day.
Another important part of the workaway is to be happy to spend time with Katie and learn to be part of her life and her routine. If you like being around kids it won't be hard to get to do that since Katie is an incredible 9 years old girl, who's smart and funny and kind. The time I spent with her was one of the best parts, especially when we would make bracelets together or listen to music and sang to it!!
Aishling is the best host you can ask for, she's an amazing mum who always makes the best out of the time she spends with Katie and will spend with you. I learnt a lot from her, especially from her life experience with workaway, since she's used workaway for a long time and will definitely make you feel comfortable in her house and with the mansions you'll be in charge of.
She's also the best tour guide you'll ever have, she brought me see so many places around Navan and while visiting taught me so much about the history and the culture.
Walking with Teddy and Aishling in the morning was also one of my favourite parts of the two weeks I spent with them!
Overall, it was the most amazing two weeks of my life where one day was never the same to the next, every day waking up to live another day with them made me feel excited!
Thank you so much for trusting me and welcoming me in your home, I feel like I've left a part of me in Navan with you.
Hope to see you again!

Chia Ling stayed with us for the month of August and she was a wonderful workawayer.
She was really independent and involved in a lot of activities outside of the home.
She hired out my bike and went exploring around the town. Unfortunately she soon realised she couldn't cycle to Dublin.
She booked Badminton classes on Wednesday nights and we

We also booked Orienteering in Deerpark which was a great new experience for all of us (including Teddy).
Chia Ling preferred to be outdoors and active all the time so she was really excited by any activities outside of the house.
We visited all the famous landmarks around Meath and got to do them all again when my cousin from America visited us.
Overall, and most importantly, Katie learned a lot from Chia Ling. Katie can sing a song in Chinese now and it highlights how wonderful it is to host Workawayers from different countries. Chia Ling also spent time teaching Katie some badminton skills in the garden.
I learned lots about Taiwan and the Culture too. Chia Ling brought Taiwanese food as an introductory gift which was an excellent way to taste different foods.
I loved learning about the history and landscape of her country.
Thank you for your time with us Chia Ling, we wish you every success back home.

It was a fantastic workaway experience with Katie and Aishling. During these 3 weeks, I was surrounded by the enthusiasm and friendly host of Irish family. Thank to Katie and Aishling, I learned lots of Irish culture, history and knowledge.
Most of the time, a workawayer needs to make friends with Katie. Katie is a mature and talented 9-year-old

Besides daily tidy work, I need to focus on Katie and tried to find out a best way to play with a little girl. I love Katie's smile under my camera. That is so innocent and happy.
As my first workaway experience and first time in Europe, I genuinely think this experience was so great. I met lots of nice people from Katie and Aishling's friends. We had lots of memory in playing badminton, traveling at the beach, shopping and decorating the cozy home.
Strongly recommended
If you love life, willing to spend time with children, and have some artistic talents, you must come and experience it! It's worth it!

Martina was with us for three weeks in July and she was just like another family member. She is very mature, steady and independent young woman who was a great role model for Katie.

She will be missed and we look forward to hearing from her again.

Our first вєℓgιαη ωσякαωαу and our first workaway of 2024...⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆
We had a lovely few weeks with Maya. ♥♥

She was a big sister
… read more to Katie and this love was genuine as Katie felt really comfortable playing tricks with the Donald Trump doll and hanging out with Maya when I was away.
Katie is highly intuitive and can recognise early on if someone is truly interested in hanging out ... so it was nice to have someone with a sense of fun around to kick off the new year.
Maya was also great with Teddy. She brought him out on her walks but I also got more time to bring him out for walks as I knew Katie was happy to stay home with Maya by herself.
My fondest memories will be the mysterious Donald Trump doll that moved around the house and the lilt of Katie's laughter filling the house.
Katie had a wonderful first ICE skating experience which was shared with Maya. It was lovely to see them having fun that day. And I am very grateful to Maya who was able to show her it was something easy to do and it gave her great confidence.
Katie was so excited about the Hat that Maya was crocheting for herself. Maya is a very talented crochet person and managed to crochet a Hat for Katie in 24 hours. She absolutely loves it and wears it everywhere. Thank you Maya.
It was yet again another really busy month for me but Maya was kind and patient and didnt ask for anything. She was really easy to live with and the time went quickly...
Katie is already missing Maya's company so we hope she will remain in contact with us.
Safe travels Maya ♥♥

You will never go hungry with her , she will always cook you the most amazing dishes and make sure you are well fed . She took the time out of her days to show me some of her favourite historical sightings in the county , wich was absolutely amazing and some of my favourite memories. she is extremely resourced in the history around Navan and it's incredibly fascinating.
Teddy is a fun , energetic little dog . he was amazing company during the day , as well as a great way to explore some more of Navan while taking him on walks .
Aisling made me feel right at home and always welcomed . i will never forget this amazing family and will leave with amazing memories of Ireland 💕

TENZIN WAS OUR ⒸⒽⓇⒾⓈⓉⓂⒶⓈ ②⓪②③ WORKAWAY... and our first Austrian workaway too!
Christmas is an important time of year as it is family time and holiday time so there is no routine and it can be difficult for someone to adapt. Fortunately for us, Tenzin was a great support throughout this time.
Tenzin is a chatty, outgoing, independent, confident
… read more young lady and can adapt to new situations well.
She took Teddy for walks in the morning and in the evening as part of her own routine. And looked after the daily chores; washing clothes, washing dishes, making beds, organising clothes, vacuuming, polishing, washing windows etc., etc., etc.,
She learned to make the perfect mug of Irish tea and spoke a few words of Gaelic while she was here which was impressive.
When I was sick after Christmas she took responsibility for cooking and entertaining Katie and this allowed me to rest and get better. I wish I had given Tenzin more responsibility for cooking in the kitchen as her dishes were really good. I will always remember the 'buckets of salad' that Tenzin would make 😂 and the lovely salad sauce made from greek yoghurt.
Tenzin is canine crazy. If you have a dog and require a reliable dog sitter, you would want Tenzin. She loves dogs and dogs love her.
Thank you for your company Tenzin. We wish you well on your future adventures and look forward to hearing from you. ♥

Or getting our names printed in Chinese which we will have forever every Christmas on our tree.

Amazing two weeks I have had here in Navan with the sweet family, one of the best experiences of mine. Thank you so much

And please keep in mind: give her your genuineness and respect. With time, she will be like sunshine in a chill winter time; the happiness and positive energy will fill the house with her merry and ringing laugh. Such a sweet angel.
Teddy is a super intelligent puppet, he will be your local guide to lead you on a walk every day. It is always a lovely and memorable experience to take a walk with Teddy and Kitty.

I don't know where to begin to describe the experience I had at Aisling, Katie and Teddy's house because it was so extraordinary !!
Living in their home for six weeks was an incredible experience that will remain engraved in my heart forever.
During my stay, my days were divided into three parts. The first part was my priority, and consisted of

Secondly, I carried out the various tasks given to me by Aisling.

Aisling is an incredible mum! She is funny, positive, caring and always there to help you in any situation.
The third part of my day consisted of walking around the city with the best guide Teddy! Teddy is an intelligent little dog who needs attention and is an excellent playmate. Pick up one of his toys and you are going for hours of play!
I will be eternally grateful to Aisling, Katie and Teddy for making me part of their family. Thank you for the exceptional time you have given me. I wish you all the best and I promise I will come back to Ireland to see you as soon as I can !!!

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Mylene)
What an experience with Mylene..... we packed in a lot of memories into those six weeks. I will remember Mylene for many reasons and I am indebted to her hard work and her perfectionism in everything she does. If you give Mylene a job to do, you know the job is going to be done well. There's no cutting corners.
Mylene was with us for August and
… read more September (six weeks or more)... She was here to help me prepare and organise Katie's birthday party. She helped me decorate the house, and made Katie's birthday cake which I was unable to do. She took her time and made it look really pretty.
Mylene painted our garden fence to perfection. It was a task that I was unable to finish but Mylene did not want to stop her work till the job was done.
Mylene was with us every day so she was working around the house every day and helped me make the place look a little different - improved.
The planter in the garden was a birthday present from Mylene and I will look after this for many years remembering her when I see it.
Mylene had a wonderful apetite and was the first to taste my buns when they came out of the oven. I was delighted to have a taste tester - but also she was so good at cleaning up after my mess.
She was positive, and radiated a warm energy from within.. She was organised, kept her room clean but also the rest of the house.
She was very easy to live with and I hope she learned lots of english while she was here.
I was also really surprised by her confidence with Teddy. She would pick him up and bring him out on a walk. She would let him bite her and she played with him a lot. He loved the attention. PLEASE NOTE: TEDDY DOES NOT NORMALLY LIKE TO BE PICKED UP.... Mylene just had a good manner with him.
She got on really well with Katie, making Tik Tok dances when I was out, and then playing Roblox with one another too.
Katie was very fond of her.

Sarrah spent a lot of time getting to know Katie. They played card games for hours (UNO) and they played monopoly for hours too! They would also go for walks in the evenings with our dog. And at night they listened to music and got ready for bed.
During the day, while Katie was at school, Sarrah would help with housework. She is very organised and helped me with tidying the bedrooms and keeping the place clean. She would always help with housework which was a great help to me.
Sarrah was up in the mornings and helping Katie prepare her lunch, or making breakfast. She took the stress out of our morning routine as she was so organised.
Most of Sarrah's conversations were with Katie and they became good friends.
Sarrah is wonderful with children. Katie was very comfortable to spend time with her and that was from day one!!
We took Sarrah to most of the well known locations in Meath; Bective Abbey, Hill of Tara, Trim Castle, Ramparts Heritage Trail, Blackwater Park etc., We also went to Carlingford for the day and hiked up Slieve Foy which was a really special day and I was delighted to spend this time with Sarrah.
If you are looking for a workaway to look after your child, then Sarrah is perfect. She is agreeable and trustworthy. She just wanted to help-out all the time and expected nothing in return. It was a very pleasant exchange and I would happily recommend her to any future hosts.
We wish you every good luck in the future Sarrah.

When I went out in the evenings, I knew that my daughter was well entertained and looked after ... and that was as much as I could ask for.
I hope I was a good host. I had experienced a few previous workaway guests who had come and almost put an end to me using this site. Izzy came shortly after a workaway had upset not only me but had upset Katie too so I was very much on guard and protecting both of us from that happening again. But Izzy was warm and kind and very loving and within a few hours I could tell that she was very different and was genuinely here to be a helping hand, getting to know Katie and supporting me to do likewise. So Izzy, I still feel bad about all of that.... apologies. x
I most admired Izzy's independence while she was here and she opened my eyes to what can be done by workawayers who really want to immerse themselves in an experience. Izzy went to my favourite coffee shop one morning and came back with phone numbers of people she had met and had asked her to go out to Yoga class or for drinks!!!
Izzy hired out a bicycle from the local Cycle Store (which I didnt even know they would do) and got around town to go to her Yoga classes in the mornings. A bike isn't really necessary in Navan but she certainly made good use of it.
Izzy has the most astonishing and wonderful life story to tell and she is adding to it every day with her lovely kind nature. She made some truly great friends while she was here with Nicky and Michael and Alison and the list goes on... but she also made two friends FOR LIFE here in Navan and we welcome her back here anytime.
Safe travels Izzy, forever friends xx

Where to start..... I loved this girl so much.
Julie was my eyes, my ears, an extra pair of hands - she was such a huge support to me in everything!!! And every day!!
Julie could see where work needed to be done and she would do it without hesitation. She was up early EVERY morning and we would wake to a lovely clean kitchen and a warm smile.
… read more
She stayed with us for almost three months?! Christmas, New Years, Valentines..... and I am so sad to say goodbye to Julie.
Life with Julie was such a pleasure. I wish she could stay longer.
Every morning (in all sorts of weather) we would go walking in the park. She almost slipped a few times in the frosty weather which made us both laugh. Every morning we would laugh. I think that is what I will miss most of all. This girl managed to make fun of herself every day. And I loved to laugh at her.
She respected my quiet time. She knew instinctively when I needed alone time. And she was there for me when I needed her too. Always asking if I wanted a cup of tea (in an English accent)... "Oh my god my English is great today right?!?! " Isn't it, Indeed it is... she would say.
She worked really hard EVERYDAY in the home. She did housework routinely and there was never a moment where I felt I needed to ask her to do something. She saw each day as a workday and that helped me so much. Nobody likes an untidy home and the house was never untidy when Julie was here.
She was up early every morning. She would wake us up every day. She would brush Katies hair, tie Katies shoes, and have katies breakfast prepared while I was getting ready. It was perfect..
She also was able to get Katie to do her homework after school in the evenings. She made a fun activity out of it. It wasn't like a chore. This is a great skill to get a child to do their homework - believe me!
We have a dog called Teddy and even the dog will miss Julie. She always carried his bags or his lead in her pocket. She would take the dog outside in the mornings and take care of Teddy when I needed to go out. She was great with him.
Julie never asked for anything. She was happy to go with the flow of family life here. She seemed quite happy to be around us all the time and we were delighted that she was here for us all the time.
Katie will miss Julie so so much. She was like a wonderful kind Auntie to Katie. Katie loved her so much. They had their own signature handshake/meeting that they would do before and after school.
Teddy will miss Julie too.... She was great company for him when I would leave the house.
And I will miss Julie most of all. She was my best friend, she was like a sister even though I am old enough to be her mother. She introduced me to Dua Lipa. She enjoyed charity shop shopping. She brought positive vibes and lots of happiness to our home.
If Julie will do Workaway in the future, you are getting a diamond girl who embraces the experience and gives you back threefold.
Although Julie is only 21 years old she comes with great maturity and sense of responsibility. She will do really well in life. She will get everything she wants because she has the best attitude.

Beside, I need to mention the patience and bravery Aisling has! She is very devoted to Katie, from the very first moment anyone can see that.

Hi there !
I only stayed a week at Aisling's, but it was a wonderful experience. I'm still in touch with her and I'm secretely hoping to come back soon ;)

Katie is quite shy at first but after a few days, we spent hours playing with her toy ponies and became good friends. She's very smart and loves to make good jokes.
To be honest, I felt at home there !
About my tasks : I had to help both of them get ready in the morning and prepare Katie's breakfast, and while they were gone I had to keep the house clean and tidy. Once they were back, I had to look after Katie.
The tasks were clearly established, and if I had questions Aishling was very patient and always there for me.
I am really glad I met the both of them, and I'm sure you'll be as welcomed as I was.
Thank you for everything Aisling ! I'll never forget this week.Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Ale was much loved by the kids and she was a breath of fresh air to have around the house.
Ale is a wonderful housemate and workawayer. Ale stayed a few months with us from late 2019 to February 2020. I would not normally host for such a long period but Ale made my life so much easier that I did not want her to leave.
I could write so much here

Getting up early and making kids lunches
Waking me up with a cup of tea and sometimes breakfast!!!
Babysitting in evenings while I went shopping or at work..
Teaching my daughter Spanish.
Playing with my daughter and her cousin - painting, dolls, role playing...
Kicking ball in the garden.
She did not sit still when it came to housework. She had the place spotless as soon as we had finished dinner.
And while we were out during the day she was busy with orger household chores.
Ale is a positive happy easygoing type of girl and very easy to live with.
She always found the right words to say when I was having a bad day - and she made things so much better for all of us by being around.
I will be sure to remain friends with Ale until she blocks me from contacting her ... 😂
She will always have a place to stay in our home because she has already built a home in our hearts ...
Best of luck with everything Ale. ❤

I always finished at 12.30am/13.30pm. It depend on what I decided to clean. Ash make little list of what the workaway can do, this is a great idea. After the work we move together outside. Ash is a wonderfull person, strong women, perfect mum, funny, always with the smile, we laught a lot together, we speak about everything all day long and very often the night with the TV and little glass of wine (politic, economic, work, world, child, life...) Ash make me feel like a home and like a friends. Remember we need a big account for Switzerland, have you a tree ? ^^
Katie is a wonderfull baby, she was a little bit shy at the beginning but if you take care of her she will love you a lot, play with you, learn and laught. She's easy and a cute baby. I missed you a lot :'(
Ash is a friend now, thanks for everything, thanks for sharing with me your family, if you would like nice work at a nice place with nice people, have activities and don't stay alone all your day don't hesitate go to Ash and Katie's home. You will learn a lot about the Ireland history (Ash know a lot about her country), about the life with a baby, about the traditional Irish diner... It's unforgettable experience. Life is beautiful, Take care of you, Love. MarilysVous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Marilys has everything you look for in a workawayer.
Marilys always had something positive to say in a bad situation, always said thank you for the smallest thing, worked hard and had a zest for life!
She's hard working, responsible, outgoing and funny, extremely easy going and fun to be around. She helped with everything, from house work to
… read more child minding. She knew if anything needed to be done and did it without having to be asked. She also made the most delicious quiches and tartlets I have ever tasted.
Marilys was part of our small family in no time and we'd be delighted to have her stay with us again when she returns to IRELAND.

Ashling and Katie are two beautiful people that you will enjoy staying with. Katie is soo cute and the easiest-going baby I ever met.
The work is easy and often the time schedule is quite flexible.
Thank you so much for having me! Hope to see you again some day!

Katharina spent a week with us at the end of September.
I found her very easy to live with.
She was gentle and kind to my little girl and was always helpful around the house.
We look forward to seeing her again should she return to Ireland.

It was an unforgettable experience for me to live with Aishling and Katie for two and a half weeks in August. Leaving her place and the village and also Dublin felt like leaving home and I knew I would miss the girls and Ireland so much that I would want to go back again in the future. We have been keeping in touch since then and when I was
… read more staying with Aishling and Katie I didn't feel like I came there through workaway. Being with them felt like spending time with a family in which the members are also really good friends. I will never forget the long walks we took in all those lovely parks of Dublin and the meaningful, but at the same time crazy and sassy conversations we had with Aisling and the hilariously funny performances of Katie that she made when she wanted to make us laugh. It was just so natural for me to be at Aisling's place that I even forgot about leaving a feedback here earlier! I really hope to see you girls again very soon and I'm working on the letter! xxxVous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Having Noemi stay with us in August 2016 was great!
The world with Noemi around was always more bright and more happy.
She was so helpful in the house with her proactive approach and energy to get things done.
Life was so much easier having her around. She was such good company too.
Thank you Noemi for your happiness and love. My little girl

I'll really miss living with Aisling and Katie... they became my family in such a short amount of time. Katie is one of the cutest kids you'll ever meet, everyone she meets comments how gorgeous she is. On top of that, she is a very happy child and rarely cries. I had so much fun taking her on walks to feed ducks, singing all sorts of songs,
… read more dancing, helping her learn how to walk, watch her swimming lessons, taking her to the park, playing in my room, and constantly entertaining each other. I can't wait to see her grow up and see her again one day, hopefully she remembers me!
As for Aisling, we became great friends and enjoyed getting to know each other. She's a kind, funny, intelligent, independent, and loving person who has so much love for her baby. The work is very easy, just being a second mom to Katie and a helping hand around the house. It was always a pleasure giving Aisling her "me" time and minding Katie. Thank you so much for everything and I absolutely plan on staying in touch for as long as we live. Wishing you nothing but health and happiness from the bottom of my heart... xx, AlexVous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

We really enjoyed living with Alexandra.
She's a positive spirit and injects happiness into a room.
She was great with my little girl, keeping her entertained and teaching her new things. She had the kitchen cleaned without even prompting. It was a real treat to have her around.
I really enjoyed Alex's meals and her speciality was her beet
… read more salad and crisp veggies. She made a food diary for my little girl which helped me lots too. She's made a lasting positive impression and one day, I hope, we get to see one another again. Join our family home in Spanish Point, on the beautiful rural West Coast of Ireland
