Night-Time Babysitting Help Needed for Three Kids in Richmond

I'm feeling really stressed because my regular sitter suddenly moved away and I desperately need help watching my three children (ages 4, 7, and 9) a couple of evenings a week here in Richmond.

We live in a townhouse near the Steveston Village area, and my partner and I need coverage usually from 6:30 PM until about 11:30 PM, maybe two times a week, but the days change depending on our work schedules.

The main tasks will be preparing a simple dinner for them, supervising playtime, making sure homework for the older one is done, and then handling the full bedtime routine, which can sometimes be a bit of a circus with three of them, lol.

I’m hoping to find someone who is reliable and has great experience with a few kids at once.

My kids are generally very well-behaved once they know you, but the youngest has just started preschool and can be fussy about going to sleep unless you’re firm but kind.

You’d also need to load the dishwasher and just make sure the main living area is tidy before we get home.

Since we’re near the water, the evenings can get quite damp and chilly, even inside, so making sure they’re cozy is a must.

I can send photos after everything else is agreed on so you can see the space and get a feel for the setup.

We have a set budget, but we are open to discussing rates if you have great experience.

Supervise dinner and after-dinner playtime

Manage a multi-age bedtime routine (bath, stories, lights out)
