Descrição
*** looking fo someone from the 1st July *** I am a busy individual juggling a couple of part time jobs with a 3 bedroom house located in Skibbereen town . The house is located in an estate 10 minutes walk from centre with a small garden .
Help consists of looking after my dog Gaston while I’m at work , to keep the house tidy and ideally someone who would like to help me with some of my projects . . I am a very outdoor person , I forage various plants/ fruits/ mushrooms/ seaweed to create various wonderful foods/drinks.
I also build poly tunnels , I do some private gardening , some private catering and some house removals with my large van . I’m hoping to start giving cooking / pickling / Cordial making classes this year if I can find the time and the right person to shadow me and help me look after my dog and with logistics .
If you have read all of this, by now you may have guessed that my life isn’t very conformist and every week is different. I’m looking for someone who is adaptable , understanding , calm and responsible .

A perfect opportunity to improve your English and discover beautiful West Cork, I can advise on places to see and activities to do. Spring and Summer in the south of Ireland is perfect for a nature and sea lover. ideal for travellers looking to discover West Cork. I can share my culinary knowledge and my foraging tips , I speak fluent English and French , and I can help you with both. Or it might suit a Francophone who struggles with English I can be of great help to ease you into an English speaking country.
Ajuda
Gaston is my dog , he is a Red setter / border Collie mix , and he is my world . I’ve no kids , very little family so my dog is very important to me . I am looking for someone who knows how to deal with high energy dogs and who understand that they need authority and who wants to be with him . I’ve hosted people that would prefer to chill in a different room to him when I was away . That is not what I am looking for .
I am looking for someone who I can trust and who will acknowledge and respect my directives regarding my dog . He will need regular walking and playtimes while I’m away , when I am there I like to walk him myself in the evening . It’s very important that I feel he is safe and loved when I am not there .
That’s my number one prerogative!
After that I cook almost every night apart from the odd pizza take away , which means a bit of washing up for you the next morning , brushing / hoovering , overall keeping the place tidy . I will do a good bit myself if I am not busy.
I forage a lot so if you are interested , you will learn a lot by coming along with me .
. I will drive you where you want to go if I can and will help you plan any trips you want to do .

Situated on the outskirt of Skibbereen in a quiet estate with a small garden, 10 min walk to town and 15 min walk to bus. Having a car helps but it’s not essential . I take my dog to the various beaches and woodlands around as much as I can . being independent and responsible is important as I will not have much time to give you during the busy season , unless you come with me foraging . the house is comfortable and I will make best to make your stay as enjoyable as possible . It would be an ideal base for anyone who wishes to stay in beautiful west cork for a few weeks / months.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate .

For a first workeway experience, it was amazing. I stayed with him for four weeks, learned a lot about Irish culture, and improved my English skills 😊
Nolwen is very kind, and a very good cook ! I had the chance to taste many Irish dishes.
The work isn’t hard, it’s great to work with Gaston every day and you have free… read more
