  Description

  We are a young Irish German family, myself Jessica and two children, my little boy called Otto who is eight and full of life and passion and little Anna Rose who is five and is determined, funny and sociable and loves to dance and perform. Both kids are high spirited!
  The children enjoy meeting people, playing and doing creative activities. I am an artist and work mostly in projects involving community groups and education for sustainability. I am passionate about my work but work part -time in an art college and also work on free lance creative projects.
  
  We recently moved house to the city centre of Cork and are settling into new rhythms.
  
  I am a single mom since my husband passed away in 2018. My husband also worked with the arts and was a photographer. I am working on creative projects in the home to keep his memory alive and with us and also in creative projects in the city for his creative legacy to continue.
  
  Otto was growing up bi-lingual. I would also love little Annarose to learn German too. She only had a short time with her dad. If we have a german specking guest I like if they can speak with the kids in german. I like the idea of them begin immersed and learning german through daily conversation rather than german lessons.
  Guests are welcome then to practice English with me and of course with others you will meet in Cork!
  
  We enjoy eating healthy, non-processed foods at home.
  
  We need extra hands with the daily routines of life. This help supports us as a family to have quality time and for me to give attention to each of the kids and try to fulfill their emotional and developmental needs.
  Each day a little help will be required with cooking, tidying, cleaning and laundry.
  I also need help with babysitting approximately 3 times per week.
  
  At any given time I usually have a few organisation projects of DIY projects on the go that I will invite you to help with. I also can use a little help with the garden and some maintenance jobs.
  
  We are looking for someone who is energetic, fun, curious, warm, patient and enjoys time with children and like to be part of a busy dynamic household. You will need to be confident in your ability to babysit and mind children. You will also have your own room to retreat to when you need quiet and space.
  
  The guest room has bunk which has a couch at the bottom for chilling out and a bed at the top and a small desk. It's not a large room but its bright and comfortable.

  Autres infos...

  Cork is listed as one of Lonely Planet's top ten cities...many reports put that down to the friendliness of the people. It's a cultural and historical city. Not far away is impressive wild coastline and well as quaint small seaside towns.
  We live 10 minutes form the heart of the city and nearby Barrack street with nice pubs and coffee shops.
