    We are looking for help to mind our two young boys Robert (6 years old) and Alex ( 3 years old). We would like to find a calm and caring person to juggle the care of a curious 3 year old and a playful six year old! We would require someone to help feed, play with and supervise the children while Mary and Pat are in work. Robert attends primary school and Alex will be starting preschool from September 2026.
