Babysitter For Recurrent Work With Occasional Date Nights

Hello, I am looking for a babysitter for my 8-year-old son. He's a spunky redhead with a lot of personality, humor, and occasional mischievousness. Ideally, your availability is flexible with some recurrent work. On average, I would like help with before and after care when school is in session on most days of the week with rare full days due to holidays and my having to work. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, he has karate practice that is a 10-15 minute drive from the school. My son's school is ~4 miles from my house. In the morning, it could be as early as 6/630 a.m. until opening of school ~8. In the evening, from aftercare (which ends at 530PM) until I get home. I care a lot about safety, patience, and good communication. I have an indoor cat. Please be immunized, including flu and COVID19.
