Weekend and holiday child care needed for two kids

We are seeking a caring and reliable babysitter to help with our two children on weekends and during school holidays. Our kids are aged 5 and 8, and we need supervision, light meals, and engaging activities from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon. The ideal candidate will have experience with early childhood development, be comfortable with homework support, and able to handle dietary restrictions (gluten-free options). A gentle and patient approach, good communication, and references are important. We’d prefer someone who can start this coming weekend and who can commit to regular weekends as well as occasional holiday covers. We can discuss pay rate and exact hours, and we’re based in Dublin/Wexford area depending on availability.
