Description
We are a Cork city based family, looking for help with our 2 children, aged 9 and 11. We are located very centrally near the historic Lough, on a bus route, city centre 25- 30 minutes on foot, close to all amenities.
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 some help with housework/ meal prep. You would mostly be free during the school day and possibly 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.
