Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the write place to write, but I'll try anyway.
I am from Germany and I really love spending my holidays in Ireland, but actually I've travelled around the island for so many times now, that I'm sick of staying at youth hostels and going from one tourist place to another; meeting people from all over the world, but no one from Ireland... I nearly know all the tourist attractions by now, and I don't want to have another of this tourist-holidays again.

So I was staying with 2 different families in Dublin and Galway a few years ago, and this is what I really like, because it's at least a bit of the irish life you're getting in touch with.
I really regret not staying in touch with my former host-families, so I am looking for a new one, and that is what I came here for.
I was taking care for the kids in those families while the parents were off to work and also a few evenings. I didn't get paid; instead I was offered a free room in the family's house for 2 weeks.

So, my question is: Can you imagine letting me stay at your home for 2 weeks in august, or do you know anybody who can? It wouldn't be for nothing, because I wouldn't mind helping you with the kids or doing light housework.
What you should know about me: I am 25 years old, female, from Germany, working there as a pedagogue in a boarding school, and I also have experiences with little children.

I would be so glad to hear from any of you!
