Weekend and Holiday Childcare Needed for Two Energetic Kids

I’m looking for a reliable and fun-loving babysitter to help with weekend and holiday care for my two children, aged 5 and 8. Occasional evenings for date nights would be a plus. The role includes supervised play, preparing simple meals, helping with homework, and getting them ready for bed. We value someone patient, safety-focused, and comfortable with outdoor activities and crafts. Light household help related to the kids (tidying up after activities, washing dishes from snacks) is appreciated. We’d prefer a local caregiver who can start this weekend and is available during school holidays. Good references and a current safeguarding/First Aid certificate are a bonus.
