Mother's helper/after school babysitting

Hi, babysitters! I am looking for someone to work with our family on a weekly, part-time basis from Monday through Thursday afternoons/evenings at our home in South Yarra, near Hawksburn village. One-off babysitting help on the weekend would also be great as well, if you're open to it, if we have something on occasionally in the evenings.

My husband and I both work during the week, usually with at least one of us working from home, and we're seeking some assistance with entertaining the kids when they get home from school with activities like drawing, reading, doing puzzles, cooking/preparing dinner, kicking a ball in the backyard, playing at one of the nearby playgrounds... really anything except sitting them in front of the TV!

The kids usually eat dinner around 6pm, so when they sit down to eat we'd appreciate your help getting their bath ready and then cleaning up dinner once they're done (we will give them their bath and put them to bed). Very rarely would you be alone with the children, so we're happy to help as needed while we finish up work.

We have three children: a 6 year old boy, 4 year old girl and 2 year old boy. All three are at school/kinder during the day and finish up at different times in the afternoon, so during the afternoons you'd spend with us it would range from looking after 0 kids (when we're picking them up, and would appreciate your help with housework like tidying their bedrooms, folding laundry, preparing dinner, etc), to 1 kid, 2 kids or 3 kids max (for about an hour or so when they're all back from school).

The total weekly hours that we need are around 13, across the following schedule:

Monday: 4pm-7pm

Tuesday: 4pm-7pm

Wednesday: 3pm-7pm

Thursday: 4pm-7pm

It would be great if this could be completed by one babysitter, but we are also open to splitting it across two people on different days if that aligns better with the schedules for the right person.

Ideally, the right person for our family will be someone who is kind, warm and caring. Our kids are pretty easy going but of course, try to push the limits! We'd appreciate someone who is creative and can engage them in creative pursuits - they love everything with paint, play-doh, and anything tactile!

Any other questions - don't hesitate to reach out! Excited to welcome you to our family :)
