  Description

  We are a mother and daughter ( aged 14) living on the Ox mountains in Co. Mayo Ireland, with many scenic walks from the front door. We grow food and have a well on the land - with a stream running through also. There is wildlife here and it is a very peaceful place. I teach yoga and meditation, and am a musician & writer, also studying herbal medicine. We are 15 mins from the nearest town ( Ballina ) and 20 mins from the beach ( Enniscrone Co. Sligo). We are on the main road to Ballina. Needs of the arrangement include helping to develop a tree nursery, vegetable and herb garden, cutting firewood, general garden maintainence, companionship with an elderly neighbour and help with homeschooling.

  Aide

  Mostly if you can engage with my daughter and assist in home schooling and creative projects this would be great. We have much land to develop and input and ideas are welcome. Help gardening, around the house, chopping wood, and preparing meals. Also this continues in sharing visits with my elderly neighbour who is very much a fascinating artist.

  Staying in a room overlooking the garden with a fireplace that doubles as a day room. Shared bathroom with very basic shower facilities and bath.

I cook soups and vegetarian fare - using fresh ingredients where possible. Open to sharing cooking duties.
