Pick the family yourself on the map. We take care of the school place, the legal guardianship and the support in Ireland.
Our host families in IrelandThree steps, and nobody choosing the family for you
Every pin is a real family we have interviewed. Profiles are anonymous: county, household, room, pets, distance to school. No names and no addresses until there is a signed agreement.
Use our form, tell us the dates and a little about your child. Every request goes through us, so no family is ever contacted cold and we can confirm it is still available.
School place in the family catchment area, legal guardianship, Garda vetting, insurance, an Irish phone number that answers, and someone who drives to the house if anything goes wrong.
