Description
Looking for someone for a month or so February to end of March
We are a little family of four. Our youngest son is 11 years old now, his name is Isaac, and our eldest is 15 (Arran). I am Susie, and I am a homeopath , I work from home . My husband, Marcus, works from home and he works in the Theatre world where he tours a few months a year .He's originally from Argentina but lives in Ireland for a long time now.
We live in the lovely town of Kinsale in County Cork by the sea. Our house is within walking distance from the shore and in the heart of the busy town of Kinsale. It is a fantastic little town with lots of colour and beauty and many things to do. It really is a great place to be and we love to show guests around.
We are looking for someone to help us with the house (COOKING IS VERY IMPORTANT!) and also to help with chores for a few hours every day while I see patients. Some gardening work could be involved if the weather is ok .Both boys are at school till 3 o clock each day. I would need someone to help also with collecting my youngest from school at 3pm some days of the week (School is only 10min walk from home).
Arran is a super active bright teenager who is mad (at the moment) with his boxing and all things Japanese .Isaac is into cooking, reading and playing games, and he has a great character. Marcus is a manager of a Theatre Company and an actor .He's from Argentina so we speak Spanish and English in the house. I myself am in the holistic world but I was a teacher of languages for years.
The area we live in is truly beautiful, and there is a great network of au pairs and other workaway people in the area. It can be quite magic here if the weather holds up.
Let us know if you are interested and we hope to talk to you very soon !!Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

There are many wonderful things to do here in this town, running , walks by the sea. surfing or sailing or cultural get togethers in the area, there are theatre events, pubs, coffee shops and lots of other activities in the town. We love to show people around too ! it gives me a great perspective on where we live. Also we speak in English or Spanish depending on what is needed so we can help with language learning if the person coming is interested in developing that way.

We live in a nice house very near the beach and in the middle of the lovely and colourful town of Kinsale. The town is full of people and cafes, restaurants, nice views, and quite a lot of young people come here every year. Also there is a great network of Workawyers and au pairs to hook up with. In terms of the space in the house for the person coming to help us, we have a spare room upstairs so you would have your own bedroom (with a single bed). We have two bathrooms upstairs (so you will have to share the bathroom).
Autres infos...
Susie used to be a language teacher so she can help with English learning if needed. Marcus is very much involved in the cultural scene in the area so can recommend many activities. We live in such an idyllic spot , especially when the sun shines, near Kinsale which is a very touristic town and next to the best surfing beach this side of Cork. It is an active beach with surfing and sailing and fishing being very prominent . If you like bike rides there are alot of places to cycle of too. It is a small piece of paradise. There is a bus that travels every hour from Kinsale to Cork (the BIG city in the province), so transport is frequent and easy.

I was given a comfortable room, I had plenty of time for myself, and the cat, Siúcra, often stayed in my room and comforted me (I have allergies, but… read more
