Description
Would you like to come and live with us in the countryside of Ireland to help teach Swedish to the two most beautiful and sweet natured children? Ron 4 and Nika 2? We live in a beautiful woodland with lots to do (horseriding, trampoline etc.) Dad, Allen is Irish, born to English/Austrian parents, Mother, recently deceased, Ulla was a Swedish speaking Finn from Helsinki.
We are looking for a motivated person who likes to be outdoors and active, we have 7 hectares of woodlands and fields, 3 horses, dogs, cats and chickens. Floodlight sand riding arena, stables and tack room. We have a horsebox and a 4x4 to tow it, so bringing the horses to the beach or elsewhere is easy (assuming they want to get in the box!!) We enjoy healthy living and eating vegetarian, but don\'t mind if you want meat.
We have a big house that is well equipped for family life. It has a cosy kitchen with wood fired cooker, big living area with indoor swing, lots of toys, books both English and Swedish, art materials, musical instruments etc etc.
We are 5km from the nearest big town (Gorey, which has shopping centres, cafes, restaurants, cinema complex and much more) and 90 km from the capital, Dublin, which is accessible by car bus and train. There are plenty of fun things at home such as play house, trampoline, sand pit, woodland walks, animals to play with, horses to ride, Sauna with plunge pool and outdoor hot tub to play in. Car available upon assessment of driving skills and insurance costs.

| Letter to Au Pair: |
Ideally we envisage you as joining the family as a "big sister" who helps to look after her brother and sister and does a fair share around the house. With that you would be afforded the same privileges and respect as a family member, we are totally open to flexibility regarding time for your own interests and will endeavour to support you in those. Allen is self employed in his own forestry company and his hours follow the work and the weather. In short we are flexible and would prefer to organise the weeks in a more organic style, however, if you prefer to agree a more regimented schedule, we can discuss that too.
I will write more when I have time, please feel free to ask any questions. Yours hopefully, Allen, Ron and Nika. |
