My Requirements

We are looking for childcare on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from –3.15-6pm.

Role would involve picking up one of our boys from school / after school clubs (our other two children walk home by themselves). We live super close to school - which is very useful - we are also lucky to live in a lovely community where the children have lots of friends. After school pick we would ask that you perhaps take them to the park for an hour or so / doing a craft activity / or taking them to an activity / reading / homework with them. Our eldest son is often back a bit later and so whilst we would ask you to keep an eye on him focus is mainly on the two younger boys. You would also need to make the children tea.

There may be occasions where either of us are back later than 6pm - and would ask for an extra hour or so. We don’t anticipate this would be very often and would obviously discuss with you in advance but would be good to know if this would be difficult.

A little more about the boys… our eldest son is in year 8 and he loves hockey and reading. He will often be found with a pile of books working his way through them! He enjoys school and makes friends easily and has a lovely group of friends.
Our middle son is in his final year of primary school - he is always planning a new scheme or project. He loves his crafts and cooking. He is a confident boy and makes friends easily. He is particularly loves climbing and can often be found up at the climbing wall or up a tree!
Our youngest son enjoys trying to keep up with his elder brothers. He chatters away and is known in school for always having a smile on his face. He loves to tell stories and help in the kitchen. He also plays hockey and enjoys gymnastics. He is confident around older children and at the moment particularly loves animals - especially penguins. He is in year 4.

Previously we have had help from a lovely local lady who is moving house. The boys adapt quickly to new faces! We are a busy but friendly and welcoming household - we often work from home and would look to ensure one of us was around whilst you settle in! We foster guide dogs - so there is often a very calm trainee guide dog around the house. We are fortunate that our home is close to the bridges into the city centre and therefore is quite accessible on foot or by bike.
