The Experience

Hello! I am looking for an independent worker(s) who are not afraid of hard work or getting a little dirty to help in my garden. Due to the location of my garden, I am unable to get heavy machine inside, so everything has to be done by hand. I am looking for an individual(s) to remove rubble from one location to another, trimming trees, clear out years of rubbish, and other odd garden jobs.

My stay at Amanda's house in Killarney was very pleasent. Amanda is an incredible host, really welcoming. She would invite me to have lunch together with her lovely child Oliver. Regarding work, she was very flexible and helpful. The best thing was being 10 minutes away from Town and even closer to the gorgeous national park. Despite being ten thousand kilometres away from my country, i felt home. Very thankful with her.

Amanda was a welcoming and friendly host with clear expectations of the work to be done. Outside the requested five hours a day, the rest was free to spend as I pleased.

Amanda is a truly amazing woman! I felt so welcomed and at home, more so than any previous volunteering experience. It was an honour to see how much she does for her community and the beautiful life she creates with her son oliver. She really respected my time, gave me great recommendations for the area and lent me a bike to go and see them! I couldn't reccomend it more. I had a really really lovely time working there and will remember it for a very long time ! Wishing them both the best !
