How to find Irish host Family.?

Question

I want to send my daughter to Ireland to study for a semester.. but am having problems finding a host family. Does anyone have any ideas on finding an Irish host family??

Answer 1

Try a link like the one below. How old is your daughter and will she be in college or high school? If you don't want to contact an organization with outrageous prices, you should google schools and universities in Ireland, then send a letter to as many educators at those places as possible. You will be able to find someone who is interested or who can point you to someone who is. Also, maybe the people at the school where she'll be studying can help find something.

Also, the Irish Tourist agency has a message board and you could try that (link below).

Last two choices are to send her as an au-pair where she can babysit and get extra money each month, or you coould put an ad in a newspaper.

Good luck!

Well hello there :)

I'm so sorry because I am not able to help. But I would be interested in participating in the same program. I will keep searching and try to contact you if my parents or I find one we think is ligit. Good luck to you as well!
