  Description

  We are a Cork city based family, looking for help with our 2 children, aged 8 and 10. We are located very centrally near the historic Lough, on a bus route, city centre 25- 30 minutes on foot, close to all amenities; location would be very convenient for someone looking to undertake morning English classes or someone who wants to work remotely.
  
  Our kids are quite independent and involved in lots of activities. They need supervision/interaction/play in the mornings and to be walked (or driven) to school; then collection from school in the afternoon and supervision/interaction/play until we are home; occasional babysitting also and minimal help with housework/ meal prep. You would be free during the school day and a number of days during the week as my husband works shift work so you would have plenty of free time for study or exploring!
  We would need between 15-25 hours a week depending on our schedules.
