Laissé par l'hôte (Help with daily family life ...) pour le workawayer ()

Alita (Ali) was with us for almost 3 weeks and what a great find she was. Instantly so willing to take on any task, kind, warm and friendly, and the boys loved her. She showed a lot of initiative to take on tasks and went the extra mile so doing more than was required of her. We really enjoyed Ali's company, she is so easy to get along with and we… read more

(Help with daily family life ...)

Ali and Donnie are extremely kind, accomodating, and thoughtful people. They made sure I was comfortable, that there were always diet specific options for me in the house, and offered to drive and pick me up any place needed!

Ali has budgeted to pay £100/week. Most days we left the house at 8:30am and returned after 4pm and the boys were usually… read more

(Help with kids and home in ...)

Elaine took me in for my first ever workaway experience and I cannot imagine having a better time. Forever the best 3 months of my life. This family is incredible. Elaine, Callum, Naoise and Martin made my stay in Ireland absolutely incredible. I miss them already and cannot wait to go back and visit as soon as I can <3

Elaine is HILARIOUS, warm,… read more welcoming, super easy going, and a super hard-working mom who absolutely adores her kids. She is incredibly generous and fun, and takes the kids on lots of spontaneous adventures when she can, that she always invited me to join. She was really kind about giving days off to explore different areas/ see other cities and to visit friends/ family. Also she’s super fun to go out with and is an EPIC dancer after a few pints teehee ;)

The kids are absolutely wonderful, kind-hearted goofballs. Naoise ( 13) and Callum ( 10) are very accustomed to workawayers in the home so they were friendly and welcoming and we all got along great from the start. Callum and I spent a lot of time outdoors skateboarding, playing in the parks, on the trampoline and with their outdoor games. Naoise is super chatty, likes baking (dangerously good cakes- look out they’re addictive), super artsy, and likes making videos and hanging with her friends.

Martin is the other workawayer in the house, who works in the clinic with Elaine. He’s now a friend for life and I got to experience a lot of Killarney’s nightlife because of him and his wonderful group of friends there. He’s also super great with the kids and willing to help out with them whenever!

The work is super straightforward, you get weekday mornings to yourself and weekends off. Start prepping food around 1/1:30 for the kids to eat around 2:30 after school. Help with their homework - mostly Callum, Naoise usually gets it done on her own. Then help prep them for any activities they have that afternoon, walk them there and pick them up or hang out / play with them. They get an hour daily of electronics and then some tv time - usually would use that time to prep their school lunches for the next day and cleanup. In the evenings, you’ll clean the physio clinics (an easy, quick job) . Then just general cleaning around the house, whatever you see that needs to be done. There’s always something to do :)

The house is in THE BEST location. It’s at the end of the main street in the centre of town, but far enough away to not hear the noise of the busy nightlife. You’re walking distance from everything in town and the National Park trails, hikes, and views are all just a bike ride away. GORGEOUS places in every direction to explore! There are also many other workawayers around the area, so easy to meet up and meet other travellers close by.

You'd be super lucky to spend time with this amazing family - cannot recommend them enough and can't wait to go back and visit them<3 MISS YOU GUYS! xo

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer ()

We have been so lucky to have Ali with us for almost 3 months. Hands down she is one of THE BEST workawayers we have ever had with us. She is sooo engaging with the kids and makes every day so much fun for them through laughter and play. She is excellent and patient in helping with homework and uses her own initiative and is very hard working with… read more
