Descrição
**** We are looking for someone from the beginning of January 2026 for a minimum of 3 months*****
Hello,
We are a family of four & 1 dog. We are expecting another child in February 2026.
Ciara, 35, secondary school teacher of French and Spanish.
Raymond, 31, delivery driver in a family business.
L, very happy pre-schooler boy born in December 2021.
E, baby girl was born in December 2023.
Éabha, super friendly and cuddly Bernese Mountain Dog, 4 years old.
We have been doing WorkAway since June 2022 and we absolutely love it. We have loved getting to know everyone who has stayed with us, seeing their confidence grow in the English and seeing Ireland through their eyes in a way.
We live in a new four bedroom house in Newtownmountkennedy in North Wicklow. It is connected by three frequent bus services. The house is modern and very warm with views of the hills nearby and a slight view of the sea. Newtownmountkennedy is a small town with some cafés, a supermarket, small businesses, a hotel and a community centre with local events, a forest and a good public transport link to a nearby bustling seaside town (Greystones)
Wicklow is an amazing county to visit and explore, it’s nicknamed the Garden of Ireland. We are surrounded by mountains, the sea, forests, lakes, lovely villages, farmland… We are situated 15 minute drive from part of the Wicklow Way. This is a trailed walking route going through the whole of wicklow county.
In our free time we enjoy cooking, baking, walks with our dog, meeting family, cycling, anything outdoors, travelling.
Ray is particularly passionate about cars, yoga, holistic living, whilst Ciara is very keen on swimming, crafts, quilting, etc. We have both been in the Scouts for many years, Ciara since 10 years old and Raymond since 21 years old.
You can rent a car in Greystones (next town beside us). It's called gocar.ie.
With our kids we enjoy playing, reading, trips to the pool, visits to the library and play dates at local playgroups etc.
Our dog is 4 years old, loves belly rubs and short walks of less than 20mins. She also loves cuddling on the couch and hoovering the floor after our kids have dropped their food.
We love travelling, in Ireland and abroad. We would be happy to assist you with planning trips around Ireland with tips about routes and places to visit.
The main work that we need help with is with childcare. When the kids are asleep we will need help with household chores like tidying, cooking and cleaning. Another task is to walk the dog when necessary. We will give you suggestions of activities to do with the kids at home and in the area.
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
We do not accept any smokers so please don't apply if you are a smoker.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Travellers will get from this experience what they wish. We would love for them to engage with us and get to know us. We would also encourage travellers to become involved in the community in some way, perhaps by participating in local events, getting to know people and so on. We are passionate about time outdoors and always practicing having a balanced lifestyle. Travellers would learn about way of life in Ireland, get to know the beautiful county and country we live in.

In your time off there are so many things that you can do.
The town is well served by three buses, 131, 133 and L1. These connect to the rail system for Dublin (called the DART) and the east coast of Ireland.
In our area you can do the following: beach or forest walks, swimming in lakes, the sea or the pool, hiking, mountain biking, cycling (we have two bikes you can use), visiting local towns and villages and of course weekend trips to other parts of Ireland. There are very good local libraries and small theatres nearby that host events. Nearby sights are the Botanic Gardens, Glendalough, Wicklow Mountains National Park, Lough Tay (where Vikings was filmed), Greystones (lovely seaside town with lots of eateries and coastal walks), Wicklow Town and of course we are only 50 mins or so from Dublin city centre by bus.
Local walking routes are
- Greystones to Wicklow Town coastal walk
- Bray to Greystones route
- any part of the Wicklow Way
Please do your research about the climate in Ireland. It's very changeable. You must come prepared with suitable clothing and have the right attitude to make the most of the situation. Some people don't like when it rains in Ireland, we believe "There's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing".

It was my first Workaway experience, and I don't regret it. It was a short time but it was a wonderful time.
The tasks were very simple and the children were very kind and cute.
Ciara really helped me to practise my English.
Thank you so much !
In the time I lived there I supported them with minding Éimhín (the young girl) for a few hours per day. It was always fun with her. And I went for walks with the very… read more
From minute one I felt very welcomed. I was asked about food I don’t like, allergies and other likes and dislikes. Throughout my whole experience I felt cared about and could see that my opinion always mattered. They tell you clearly what you have to do coming to work, but always remain flexible if you have… read more
We would host Pia again she was just amazing all round. Her English was fantastic so communication was very good. Whoever host’s Pia next is very lucky to have in their home.
I had my own room with a comfortable bed, dresser and desk. It was very clean. Same goes for the bathroom.
Communication has always been great since I was a big fan of… read more
