Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Eileen)
We had Eileen stay with us for 2.5 months. During that time she made some lovely connections with our children and gave us much needed help in the house. Over time she handled a variety of tasks including preparing snacks, helping with homework, organising activities, and ensuring the children followed their daily routines. She completed her tasks

Eileen has a nice gentle energy about her. She grew into her role and it was obvious that she is a highly creative person with an artistic flair. the children loved her drawings in particular. she was always very polite and respectful. Eileen established playful relationships with our children despite the challenges that their different ages and needs brought. The three older children always looked forward to spending time with her.
Eileen showed us that she was adaptable throughout her stay. With the changing pattern of our work and the school holidays, we often didn't know what each day brought, but Eileen was available and willing to give us the help we needed.
I wholeheartedly recommend Eileen as a workawayer, and we are grateful for the time she spent with us. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Deirdre and Kenny welcomed me into their family for a little less than 3 months. Both are kind and caring, making you feel comfortable and appreciated. They respected my personal space and also reminded the kids to do the same. Their presence was reassuring and they were always happy to help.
My work schedule was quite flexible. Usually, I would

I assisted in keeping the house neat and tidy on a daily basis, so Deirdre and Kenny could have more quality time with the children. With four little humans, they don't always get their deserved break.
The kids are full of energy. Over time, I really grew fond of them. They adored having me as a play-mate and were affectionate from the very beginning. Finn, the baby, didn't like it at first when I held him. After a few weeks, he got used to me and actually wanted me to pick him up. His 3 sisters loved playing hide and seek or Uno with me. We spend a lot of time in the garden too. Many happy little moments I'll remember.
Additionally, I enjoyed being able to use the kitchen to my liking and having total freedom over it. It helped me relax when it would get busy in the house. The surrounding area is also really nice for taking a walk, as there's lots of nature and animals to watch. I was provided with a bike, so I was mostly independent.
The weekends were mine, no exceptions! Ireland is gorgeous, I totally fell in love with this country. Galway is a dream, so cheerful, warm and lively. Always something going on, no matter the day or weather. The rest of Ireland is absolutely breathtaking aswell, lots to see and explore. I'll definitely come back and travel to the places I couldn't manage to go to.
Thanks a million, it was grand! Irish folk are incredibly friendly and know how to have craic (fun). I feel more mature now and I'm grateful for the experience I've had.

I stayed with Kenny, Deirdre and the kids for over 3 months and I couldn’t have wished for a better first workaway experience! Kenny and Deirdre warmly welcomed me into their family and after a few days of getting to know everyone and everything I settled in easily.
The three girls are clever, amiable, full of energy and overall just adorable. My
… read more days always started with assisting them to get ready for school/daycare and offering help wherever it was needed in the morning rush. Usually, I got to spend one to two mornings a week with the two-year-old. She is super funny and I always enjoyed making jigsaws, playing with the dollhouse and going for walks with her.
The other days I mainly minded the older two girls after school. My tasks included preparing simple snacks, helping with their homework and playing with them. They are very creative and I already miss our drawing competitions, playing fetch or hide and seek in the garden as well as building forts and the tallest Lego towers!
Since Deirdre was on maternity leave, minding the baby boy on my own was an exception and never for a long period of time. Nonetheless, I quickly grew fond of him and I was always more than happy to keep an eye on him when Deirdre was in another room.
Additionally, I helped with light housework like tiding up and hoovering the downstairs living areas as well as doing the dished and the laundry.
Furthermore, Galway City is the perfect place to start day or weekend trips throughout Ireland/Northern Ireland and Kenny and Deirdre always gave me a ride to town if necessary.
I had the best time and I recommend staying with Deirdre, Kenny and the children! Thanks for everything!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

My main task was taking care of Cara and Maggie when they got back home from school which included feeding them snacks, baking, colouring, playing fun games like memory or building forts out of blankets. Being outside on the trampoline or playing hide and seek were part of our afternoons aswell.
Sometimes I'd mind Doireann too, however that was more of an exception but I really enjoyed having her around, as she is such a funny and cute little toddler. Even now I sometimes miss them quite a lot. They are creative, clever and all in all just adorable. I bet anyone who likes to be around children and is joining this family will have a great time with them!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

I just got back home after staying with Deirdre and Kenny for the last 5 months and I can't help but admit that I already miss being around them. Their kids are three adorable cheeky monkeys and especially their youngest, Doireann, whom I minded most while the other ones were in school, had already stolen my heart after the first few days. My main

I truly enjoyed my time staying with them, not only because they did everything to make me feel appreciated and at home but also because they are generally just really loveable and fun to be around. Galway is an adorable little town and truly is the "perfect gateway" for some exciting weekend adventures. Thank you again for the wonderful time; I'll never forget it!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

I stayed with this family for about 4 months. I had a very great time. The girls are cute and full of energy and I loved playing with them. Deirdre and Kenny are really kind and very helpful.

The family I had planned to stay with from April cancelled on me so I was desperately looking for a new hostfamily. I couldn't find anyone for April so Deirdre and Kenny let me stay longer until I found a new place even though their new Workawayer had already arrived. A huge thank you for that to both of you! ❤
I loved my time there, they made me feel very welcome and comfortable and I would definitely recommend staying with this lovely and fun family. Thanks for everything! Miss you and hopefully see you soon!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Helena (Sophie) has been a great addition to our home. She has been happy to turn her hand to any task we have asked of her.

They have become attached to her and

She has kept up her irish dance classes in her free time and shared some of her talents with the children. She has been obliging with regard to the housework too and helped us out in that regard. I would highly recommend her as a workawayer!

Laura stayed with us for 6 weeks and she was a pleasure to host. Laura is very skilled and great company for anyone. She was a thoughtful house guest and the children were fond of her. With a small baby, a 2 year old and a 5 year old our house is noisy and choatic at the best of times and Laura coped well with it! Laura is widely read and

Laura carried out tasks required with flexibility and skill. She cooked me delicious and nutritious vegan and vegetarian meals and prepared a stash of healthy food for the children which i have in the freezer. She is a talented cook. The children loved making pizzas with her. Laura was a peaceful presence in our home and anyone would be lucky to have her as a workawayer.

Elena is an absolute gem of a person.
She was our first experience of having a workaway ...and maybe we have been spoiled!
Elena is so competent i think she could turn her hand to anything. Our children and all of the children in the neighbourhood adored her- as did we! No task was too much.
She was such a safe pair of hands you could trust her

Her planning and organising skills were much appreciated- particularly in our chaotic household with a newborn baby and two small girls.
She was an amazing female role model for our children- playing sport to a high level competitively. She can also play guitar and piano and was happy to teach the children when the mood suited.
Overall though ,she was an extremely kind person and her can do and positive attitude infiltrated the household. We will always be grateful- thanks Elena!
