I'm moving to back to Dublin (after 20 years abroad) and I want to hire a part-time cook/mother's help, for two or three afternoons a week. My cousin put a notice up in some shops near to where I'll be living about a fortnight ago, but so far I haven't had any response. I was trying to avoid Gumtree because I feared I'd be completely swamped with applications, but now I think being swamped would be better than not having any.
Is there anything else I could try?
