Hi there,

We’re looking for a warm and reliable person(s) to help with a bit of childcare and housework.

Cleaning,
Dishes
Tidying up
Washing clothes, folding laundry,
Meal planning,

Timing:
- 3 weekdays per week, flexible. We’re also happy to split this across multiple people, so don’t be afraid to get in touch if you can only do one day per week.
- 3pm - 9pm. Generally, the bedtime routine finishes at 9pm, so we’re after someone who can typically help at that time, however we’re open to discussing starting and finishing times.

We’re looking for someone who:
- Is reliable and trustworthy
- Warm, and likes working with children
- Has a working with children check certificate,
- Has a drivers licence
- Likes dogs (our dog is harmless, but excitable)
- Has initiative; can notice what needs doing without being asked
