Description
I am looking for a motivated enthusiastic young person who is interested in helping out with office work, light house work and who can mind our 6 year old boy a little bit. We are a very busy household. We need somebody who is very reliable and is able to multi task a bit. There could be a day with a bit of food preperation to do and light house work e. g. hoover the house and the next day the person might be needed for 2 hours in the office. We live in the country side just a 15 minutes drive from the busy tourist town Killarney.
We live in a beautiful area near mountains, lakes and the sea. We are looking for somebody who can do light household chores e.g. hoovering the house, emptying the dishwasher, organizing drawers and cabinets, folding clothes and is very computer literate e. g. Word, outlook, Excel, social media. We also would like to have somebody who is very good with children as we would need you a little bit as a childminder as well. .
The ideal person should be very active and in their twenties and have an interest in nature, sport, children, refurbishing, meal preparation, cooking, tyding, office work. He/She should be also open minded, flexible, reliable and non-smoker. Our son speaks very little German we would love to have a German workawayer. We do speak English during the evening time and the workawayer will have many opportunities to speak English but we would expect her/him to speak German to our son
Most of the chores should be done between Monday and Saturday (we expect you to work 25 hours per week in total but you will be flexible otherwise) typical working hours could be from 08:30 - 11:30 am and 2 till 4 pm for childcare or 4 - 6 preparing a dinner. But we also expect flexibility around these hours.
Help is needed on some weekends but not every weekend. We would like to discuss more during a zoom call.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in one of the most beautiful areas in the South West of Ireland. It is only a 15 minutes drive into the busy town center of Killarney with plenty of shops, boutiques, Pubs and Restaurants and many amazing Hotels (you will find some of the nicest hotels in Killarney) . You will have a bike to explore the area but we are going Killorglin or Killarney town quite a lot so you can come with us. We are surrounded by mountains and lakes. The 100 km² Killarney National Park is also nearby so there is plenty to do (Boat trips, Walking, Cycling, Hiking,). The beaches are only 20- 30 minutes drive away. Train Connections to Cork and Dublin are very good. You will not be bored here.
There are many mountain walks near the country side home. Our area is not ideal for party people as there is no public transport in the night time to Killarney town.

Help
The hours are on some days flexible as we have always lots to do. You would do most of the help in the morning and afternoon. As we are working a lot on some days we are looking for somebody who is enthusiastic, interested in sports and office work and who loves children.
It would be great if you could help with the day to day tasks like cooking dinners, baking, tyding up the kitchen, preparing snacks or small meals, tidying and organizing. We like to eat very healthy but you would also help in the office. We run a very busy tour company - organizing holidays.
The house has a very big garden and is in a beautiful country setting. You will have your own room. You will be able to come with us to Killarney town on many occasions. We are always interested in meeting socially outgoing, enthusiastic and hardworking people. We would like to give you more information during a zoom call
