James and Carina are the dream Worldpackers hosts! They were so incredibly kind, providing a cozy room, ensuite, and TV, plus amazing food and gym access! I felt so loved being included in family outings, from delicious dinners to a fun Halloween museum trip. They truly made me feel valued for my help childminding their three daughters. I formed such a beautiful bond with the girls; my heart is so full and I miss them dearly! I cannot recommend this spectacular family enough for your next stay. They are simply the best! Thank you for the memories; you've made such a lasting impact!

600 characters is a way too little to express my gratitude for staying with Duffy family. I stayed in places as aupair or nanny, but never I had such an easy feeling and relaxed stay. The thing is, they do not judge, rather accept and praise you and turn to humour even if you put their oven on fire. All very naturaly. They trust you with their kids, food, cars, stuff..you are free to shine in your unique way, like I tried in the kitchen. They not only respect your time and preferences, but also invite you on trips, join the gym, use hot tub or e - bike for Irish country side. Thank you!! ☺️

My stay with the Duffy family was wonderful. The family consists of warm-hearted people who made it easy to feel like at home. Working with the children was (mostly;)) fulfilling and fun. In my free time, I had the opportunity to explore the country, go to the local gym or simply relax in my cosy room. Thanks to the generosity of the Duffys, I never wanted for anything, whether it was food, transport or a good anecdote from the lively the home Farm. Thank you!!❤️

That was one of the most amazing experience ever. Carina and James are the most incredibly welcoming and generous people. They always treat you as part of their family. It's an incredible experience to meet people and travel around Ireland, and they will make sure to help you with everything you need. Kids are super sweet and spending time with them was filled with joy. I had a great time there, and will recommend this experience to everyone!
