    Help

    Help required will include helping with the kids in the household and whatever you would like to get involved in.
    The kids go to school. Tasks will involve helping to get them ready give them their breakfast and pack up their stuff for the day.
    The days will then be spent helping out with whatever jobs we are doing during the day. The evening will be spent helping doing homework and getting dinner etc and helping to clean up after each day.
    You will not be asked to do anything that we will not be doing ourselves, you will simply be helping us to do the usual family stuff.

    We live on the ring of kerry so lots to see and do. We also live very close to sections of the Kerry way and its possible to walk them from our house. The killarney national park is close by, the gap of dungloe, the black valley and all the famous ring of Kerry sites are all within an hour of the house.
    Derrynane beach is approximately 40 mins in the car and is a beautiful beach. If you wish to see the ring of beara it can be accessed from kenmare or we can always go on an adventure there!!!
    Above all we want each workaway to enjoy their time with us and to see as much of our wonderful scenery and experience our Irish hospitality as possible while here. Let the adventures begin!!!!
