Description
My house by the sea has been demolished and rebuilt due to pyrite in the blocks. Help with unpacking/lifting/listing items for sale/moving furniture/painting/dry stone walling/strimming/mowing/weeding/upcycling (painting)/cleaning/cat sitting. My mother lives separately in her house in Ballina, and you’ll be helping her with general gardening as well as some painting and cleaning. My house is by the "Castle Break", an offshore surf break for those interested in surfing, and I’m near Kilcummin, Lacken and Killala in North Mayo on the Wild Atlantic Way. Very scenic and great for walks. You can walk to the beach for a swim in just 10 minutes.
Because of the back and forth element, there would be a petrol allowance if you have your own car, and when I’m off work I would drive you to see the sites in the area and help you find your way around.
Mum and I are very flexible as to how you get through the task lists - 5 hours help per day, with two days off a week. I’m a chef and enjoy cooking with, and for, my visitors when I’m there. I have 1 outdoor cat (and a stray!!!) and one very elderly indoor dog who love to be brushed and are very friendly.
Mum and I would prefer experienced helpers with self motivation and some gardening, DIY, cleaning and painting skills. A reasonable grasp of English saves any miscommunication, but sometimes Google Translate, pointing and waving will get us through! Please have travel insurance that covers any medical needs you may have if you are non EU and be Visa compliant.
Ring for a chat or email for any other info.
*Please note preference is for helpers with their own car.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Mayo is gorgeous! We are on The Wild Atlantic Way close to deserted beaches, historic Abbeys, an amazing sea stack at Downpatrick Head, great surfing and golf, beautiful walks, and world famous fishing. This is rural Ireland at its best.
We are looking forward to learning about your culture, helping you with learning English and exchanging recipes. Obviously whilst helping at my house, I would be cooking with or for the helper and sharing recipes and language skills if they would like to improve their English. I was born in Hong Kong and my mother spent 16 years there and we have had great success with helpers from the East. It will be interesting to get other recipes and cultural experiences to share. We are interested and interesting people.
In terms of the time doing tasks at mums or mine, it will be weather dependent. And it will be clearly laid out with lots of time off during which I would hope to bring the visitor to see sites in the area.
