Afternoon Nanny / Family Helper – Clontarf

Childminder / Nanny Wanted – After-School Care for 3 Children We’re looking for a kind, energetic and very organised childminder/nanny to help care for our three children and keep our busy household running smoothly. * 👦 Two boys, aged 9 and 7, to be collected from school at either 2pm or 3pm, depending on after-school activities. * 👧 One younger sister, to be collected from Montessori for the last hour of the day. * 🕐 Ideally, hours would be around 12:30/1pm to 6:30pm, but we are flexible and very happy to discuss hours depending on what suits the right person. The main requirement is availability for the core hours of 2pm–6pm. * ⚽ Keep the boys active, engaged and entertained after school and bring them to their various activities. * 🚗 Driving would be a big advantage, particularly for dropping the boys to evening sports, which usually start around 6pm. This would only involve dropping them to their activity — as we will take over from there. * 📚 Help with homework and getting organised for the following school day. * 🥗 Prepare healthy, nutritious lunches and dinners for the children. * 📺 We would really like someone who enjoys actively engaging with the children rather than relying on screens to fill the afternoon. TV is absolutely fine occasionally as a treat or reward, but we would prefer it to be limited rather than part of the regular daily routine. * 🏠 Before school collection, help tidy and organise the house, including keeping cupboards and the fridge organised. * 👕 Help with the children’s washing and clothes — putting washing on, folding and putting clothes away, and generally keeping their clothes organised. * 🛒 Help organise the weekly food shopping (this can be done as an online order). * 🧺 Generally help around the house as needed with normal day-to-day household tasks. However, the primary role is caring for and looking after the children. * 💪 Our boys are energetic, so we’re looking for someone who enjoys being active and can keep up with them while providing clear boundaries and structure. * ✨ We’d particularly love someone who is warm, reliable, proactive, organised and naturally tidy. We’re hoping to find someone who will become a trusted part of our family and who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. Hours: Approximately 20–30 hours per week, with flexibility for the right person. Core hours are 2pm–6pm, with the option to start earlier (around 12:30/1pm) and/or finish later on some days depending on availability and what suits both sides. Please get in touch if this sounds like a good fit — we’d be delighted to chat further.
