I’m looking for a reliable and friendly babysitter to provide short, ad-hoc care for my two children aged 4 and 6. Occasional after-school or weekend sittings, with a preference for someone who can start within the next few weeks. Duties include supervising playtime, preparing simple meals, helping with homework for the older child, and assuring bedtime routines are followed. Must be comfortable with light household tasks related to the kids and have up-to-date DBS/DBS-equivalent checks or be willing to undergo checking. Ideally, you’re patient, calm, and able to engage the kids with crafts or outdoor activities. Please specify availability, rate, and any relevant experience in your message.
