Occasional child care needed for shy 5-year-old afternoons

We're looking for a caring, punctual babysitter for occasional after-school care for our 5-year-old. The role involves picking up from a nearby preschool, helping with snack time, a short supervised play activity, and ensuring a calm transition until we finish work. Preference for someone withChildcare First Aid certification and experience with younger children. Availability on weekdays a few afternoons per week, with at least 24 hours' notice for bookings. We value reliability, patience, and a friendly, reassuring approach. Must be comfortable with pets (a small friendly dog). Location is a quiet neighbourhood in Ireland; access to public transport is a plus. If you can commit to regular, predictable blocks or flexible weekend coverage, please get in touch with references. Rates discussed on contact. Thanks!
