My Requirements

After school / wraparound care for 5 year old boy (in reception at school) and 3 year old girl (in nursery/preschool). Also got another baby on the way in April so mum will need some extra help. I (dad) am away with work usually Tuesday morning to Thursday night. We're still working out what we need and looking to find a routine that works for us and a nanny / care provider.

Ideally we would like someone to start with Wednesdays and Thursdays, 2pm to 6.30pm. About an hour of housework help before picking up kids from school / preschool in the village (walking distance) at 3.15pm. Entertain them until 5pm tea time. Feed them and get them in the bath just after 6pm at which point mum/dad can take over.

We would look to increase this to three days (same routine, likely Friday) once baby arrives. Could even do more / longer days eventually if that works for you and us. Ad-hoc babysitting on top of this would be great if possible.
