    We are looking for a Bubbly, energetic, mature person who will interact with our Kids and be Part of our family life and routine. If your a person who is very shy and quiet and wants to be Alone in your bedroom all the time, your Not the right person for us.

    We Live on a Sheep Farm in a quiet peaceful countryside. My husband (43yrs)is a Sheep Farmer, Sheep Shearer and Fencing Contractor. Wife (38yrs)a part time Nurse in local town, work 2 days per week.

    We live in a two story, 4 bedroom house, which is located in a scenic, quiet, peaceful area and is a 25 minute drive to Kenmare tourist town which is very busy in the summer. Also located on the Wild Atlantic Way. We go into town 4/5 days a week.

    Bus transport departs Kenmare town 11 times daily to Killarney town and cork city. There is a Train station in Killarney town also. Plenty to see and do, walks, swimming, cycling, fishing, mountain climbing, horse riding etc . Swimming pools / gym in kenmare town.

    Kids have a large outdoor play area attached to house ( off kitchen door) and Paddy can freely go out and in and is safe.

    Every chance we get, the kids love going for long walks near our home.
    You can borrow my bicycle also if you like. Kids have their own bikes also and a trampoline and a hammock.

    In the month of April, we have plenty of baby Lambs jumping and running around the fields.
