After-school care for two children in a friendly Irish home

We’re looking for a reliable and caring person to help with after-school supervision for our two kids, aged 6 and 9, in our leafy suburb outside Dublin. Duties include: picking them up from school, helping with homework, light meal preparation, and engaging activities until we’re home. Weekly schedule is Monday to Thursday, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Ideal candidate is patient, energetic, and enjoys crafts and outdoor play. First aid basics and references needed. We’d prefer someone who can start mid-September, with occasional date nights as optional extras.
