Join our family and enjoy the countryside around Ballinspittle, Ireland

  Description

  We are a family (Mum, Dad, a six year old and a 8 month old baby).
  We are Irish speakers who play traditional music, are nature lovers and live in the countryside. We love travelling ourselves and have happily hosted international volunteers for the last 2 summers and are very happy to host folks from all places.
  
  We have a small vegetable farm in Cork. The house is a farmhouse 15 minute drive to the seaside town of Kinsale with shops, cafes, galleries, pubs, library and public buses to Cork city (1 hrs by bus) or west Cork in the opposite direction. We have happily hosted 5 volunteers over the last 2 years.
  
  We are looking for someone (preferably female, though open on that) to help with our children and a bit of help with house-work. We have hosted volunteers before and love when people come and join our family. Childcare work will be 25hrs per week primarily minding an 8 month old baby while mum works from home office (so you won't be alone in the house with the children). Our 6 year old is at school every morning so our volunteer will only need to mind her too one afternoon whens she's home from school.
  
  Because the volunteer would be primarily looking after a really fab and smiley baby we'd prefer stays of at least 2 months to establish a nice connection with him.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are traditional music players and like to sing Georgian polyphonic music!
  
  We are also very close to several beaches and we ourselves enjoy sea-swimming/ paddleboarding .
  
  We speak native Irish language in the house and are interested in learning more languages (we have basic French, German and Spainish). We love having foreign people to stay!
  
  We have been growing organic vegetables for years and are enthusiastic cooks and would be delighted to share our love of good food.

  Aide

  We are seeking someone to join our family and primarily help with childminding (a 8 month old baby for 25 hours a week (9-5.30 mondays and 4 hours either morning or afternoons) and our 6 year old on the Monday.) Mum will be working from home so you wont be hime alone with the children.
  
  We ideally need someone who is happy to stay for at least 2 months or longer to help settle in. Mum is working from home so we will need someone to mind our 8 month old baby 25 hours a week and 6 year old one afternoon a week as part of the 25 hours.
  
  We are looking for someone that would genuinely love minding a baby and a 6 year old. This is the most important thing! Our eldest child is 6, good natured and fun and will be at school until lunchtime each day. We are looking for people who are kind, patient and happy to live with children. Because routine is important for children we will need someone who is happy to stay a minimum of 2 months (or longer if desired!)
  
  You will have the privacy of your own space/room of course for when you need your own time to relax
  
  The 25hrs of help a week is essential in the arrangement but with some notice (because this would involve agreement with mum's employer) there can be some flexibility to accommodate your own plans. It could be 9am to 5pm on Mondays and 9am to 1pm (or 2-6pm) the rest of the week .
