South Cork - ☕️ Coffee Morning / Home Meet 🏡

We’re hoping to start some lovely Cuidiú home meets in the Carrigaline area and are looking for a few parents/caregivers to host.

If you’re not familiar with Cuidiú, it’s a supportive community for parents and caregivers. These home meets are simple, relaxed get-together where a small group of local parents/caregivers come together with their babies or young children for tea, coffee, and a chat.

They usually run on weekday mornings for around 2 hours and are all about making new friends, getting out of the house, and helping little ones begin to socialise in a calm, home environment.

If you’re someone who enjoys having people over and would love to help create that kind of space for other mums, this could be a really lovely way to do it.

Cuidiú members are covered by our insurance to host, and we’ll support you and help spread the word locally.

If you’d like to host or want to find out more, we’d love to hear from you
