Description
We live in Cork City beside the historic Blackrock castle and marina ( look it up on google maps it’s beautiful) and close to a lot of amenities, parks, and pubs it is less then 15 mins by bus to the city center. You will have a large bedroom with bathroom en-suite overlooking the River Lee.
Our home is very open and relaxed with family and friends coming and going when we are not in lockdown. We think you will feel relaxed and comfortable with us, we have had au pairs for years so we are used to having people in the house. The house and gardens are v nice!
About us
We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids. David is just 15 and the oldest - he is full of life and laughter, loves swimming, Laura is 13 she loves reading. Grace is 10 and full of life and a real character. David and Laura are in going into their 2nd year of secondary school and Grace is going into 5th class primary school. Dad David works full time in his own family business and mum Rachel works as a solicitor full time but finishes early on Wednesday & Thursdays. Daily life is hectic with school, after school activities, work life etc. over the summer life will hopefully be less busy, kids will be occupied some of the days with camps. At the weekends you are totally free. You will be needed in the morning 7-9 am at breakfast time and from 5-7 pm in the evenings.
Expectations
We would prefer a good level of English. You will be asked to help prepare the kids lunch and their breakfast all weekday mornings.
We would like you to prepare the dinner four nights per week as both parents are not home until 6:00, we will show you how to make the food, it’s pretty easy, we will also help you.We like healthy. food so would wish for someone who is competent at making tasty healthy dinners, we will help of course. Basically your job will be to prepare breakfast and dinner and a few hours over the week spent reading & playing with the kids other than that you are free. Our house is a beautiful base to explore Ireland but you will be needed Monday to Friday for a few hours 3/4 per day. Please note females only may apply. This is important so please note. We will pay money if you work extra hours. We really like to exercise & enjoy lifting weights in the gym - try to encourage kids to do the same. Thanks
