Description
Hello from co Meath 🍀
I've been hosting workawayers and students for 3 years now and I find it an enriching and wonderful experience.
I love that our children are learning and developing an interest in language ,culture and everything that comes with hosting. We've had many return visits from previous workawayers who love the green landscape here, we luve in co meath so our county is strewn with monastic ruins, castles, Abbies and churches , rivers and of course dublin city is a favourite which is only 1 hour by public bus. We have local forestry for walking and lots lots of nice nature trails.
I have 4 young children, 3 cats, a dog ,a bog house and I host international students so it's extremely busy with lots to be done and I need workawayer support!
Our family life is noisy, a little crazy and chaotic at times and alot of housework but it is also full of love and lots of new friendships and connections grow here 🌼
If you think you are up for a challenge, enjoy children and are open minded to fit in a busy house please feel free to contact me!!Types of help and learning opportunities
