Seeking occasional babysitter for flexible weekend coverage

I’m looking for a reliable babysitter for occasional care for my two children, ages 4 and 7. I need someone who can cover after-school pickups, weekend supervision, and occasional evening care when I have commitments. The ideal candidate is patient, enjoys engaging kids in crafts and outdoor play, and can provide basic meals or snacks. We’d prefer someone with Garda Vetting or equivalent background check, with references and consent to a brief orientation. The home is in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood, and we’re flexible on exact hours, with advance notice for events. English fluency is required; Irish language is a plus but not necessary. First aid knowledge is a bonus.
