Carina and James were nothing but welcoming during my time at the home! They were exceptionally generous with allowing us Worldpackers to use their car for day or overnight excursions, allowing us full access to a stocked kitchen and providing comfortable private rooms with double beds and an ensuite (the house used to be a bed and breakfast and is very spacious). Carina and James were also very flexible and lenient if anyone needed or wanted to spend a few days away from the farm. The work was typical of an au-pair/nanny, with three younger children and one older independent child :)

This was my third Worldpackers experience along with my sister, and it was a great month of our travels! Carina and James were exceptional at making us feel right at home (as were the kids!), providing our own rooms, local recommendations, and facilitating time for us to engage with the family and other volunteers. You do have to get creative to keep the kids on task, but the work is definitely manageable and fulfilling. Would 100% recommend if you're seeking to learn more about local culture, connect with nature, be a part of a family unit, and meet other amazing volunteers.

My time here was so lovely and spending time with James, Carina, and the kids was very fulfilling. James is absolutely hilarious, and the family is extremely generous and loving. For the cooking role, definitely advocate for what you will need for meals, but everyone is very supportive and always willing to help! Each of the volunteers had their own room and WC which was very homey. We had plenty of time to explore outskirts of the cities and take day-trips on the weekends. They always encouraged us to get out of the house and explore, and had many places we could hike!

This was a wonderful first Worldpackers experience and I will recommend 100 times to anyone looking to live with a lovely family and learn/explore Ireland in your time. From day 1, Carina, James, and the whole crew welcomed me into their home and encouraged us all to adventure as much as we could. They told us about all the local spots, helped us get around the country, and provided a real family-like experience as a volunteer. I have a lot of love for all my memories of the past month and not only did I build great bonds with the kiddos, but I also am leaving with some awesome new friends.

I'm absolutely blown away by this family and this opportunity that seemed to have been fated. I felt so welcomed right off the bat, and fit right in with the kids. I was very lucky that I gained 2 good friend in the other volunteers that were also here, and we did loads of adventuring together. The family was so great at encouraging us to get out and explore the country, giving us all the inside tips along the way. I would 100% recommend this stay to anyone who likes nature, the countryside and wanting a place that feels like home. I'll always remember my stay here & will be forever grateful.
