Hi,
We're currently looking for someone to help care for our two daughters, aged 7 and 10, starting asap. We need support three days a week for an hour or two after school. The role would involve picking them up from school, helping with a bit of homework, and occasionally doing some light meal prep.
We live in Ashburton, just a two-minute walk from the girls' school. At this stage, the anticipated hours would be:
Wednesday: 3:30-5:30pm
Thursday: 3:30-4:30/5:00pm
Friday: 3:30-4:30/5:00pm
We are a family of 4 (plus a chunky, independent cat named Floss). Our eldest daughter loves art, netball and reading - she's generally the quieter one. Our youngest is full of energy and will chat your ear off once she warms up to you. She enjoys helping out, playing with dolls, and basketball. She has basketball training on Thursday evenings at 5:00pm, so occasionally I may need you to take the kids to training, where I would meet you.
We're looking for someone who enjoys engaging with kids of this age, can have fun with them, but is also comfortable setting boundaries when needed (e.g. homework first, and no, you can't have 378 snacks before dinner!).
If this sounds like a good fit for you and you'd be interested in meeting us to chat more, we'd love to hear from you.
