After-school Childcare (North Cambridge)

Posted on by

Our North Cambridge family of four (including our furry friend Mowgli)  is looking for some part-time, weekday, after-school childcare help for our funny, active, articulate, and kind 6-year-old boy.

We’re hoping to find someone, or two people, interested in 3.5–12 hours/week who would care for and play with our little guy, pick him up from school in North Cambridge at 3:00 pm, take him for lessons, or just work with him on chess, puzzles, and if possible Spanish. We would love it if someone could watch him from 3:00 until about 6:30 p.m. a few days a week (ideally Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday).

We imagine this could be the perfect opportunity for a college or graduate student — particularly someone studying or otherwise interested in being part of a family with a fun kid, a dog, and a super awesome food business. We are a Spanish and Bengali-speaking family. Any help with Spanish would be greatly appreciated. English is our preferred language :).

There’s also the possibility of continuing with slightly different hours during the spring semester and perhaps even the summer, as well as weekend and nighttime sitting.

Compensation could be $20-25/hour, depending on experience. Parking will be reimbursed.

Having a car is a requirement because, on some days, he needs to go for lessons in Somerville or Cambridge, which are within driving distance. 

We look forward to hearing from you. If interested, please contact Brinda at sen.brinda@gmail.com

After-School Childcare for Kindergartener (Davis Square, Somerville)

Posted on by

Our Davis Square family of four is looking for some part-time, weekday, after-school childcare help for our loving, active, articulate, and creative 5-year-old kindergartener.

We’re hoping to find someone, or two people, interested in 5–10 hours/week, who would care for and play with our little guy from school pickup in Porter Square at 2:35pm until about 5 or 6pm a few days a week (ideally Tuesday, Thursday and Friday).

We imagine this could be the perfect opportunity for a college or graduate student — in particular someone studying or otherwise interested in early-childhood education.

There’s also the possibility of continuing with slightly different hours during the spring semester and perhaps even the summer, as well as weekend and nighttime sitting.

Compensation could be $20-22/hour depending on experience. 

Having a car isn’t a requirement, because school is walkable (or a direct bus or T trip) to our house, but someone with a car would be a bonus. 

We look forward to hearing from you. If interested, please contact Andrew at andrew.sessa@gmail.com

Afternoon babysitting with an engaging 4 y/o! (North Medford)

Posted on by

Hi! We are looking for a reliable & fun loving babysitter to hang out with our 4 y/o son for some afternoon hours each week.

Our son is a sweet, engaging, talkative child- when you are playing with him, you can visit the bottom of the ocean, the surface of the sun, a penguin colony on Antarctica, all in the space of a few minutes! He will be attending a new morning-only pre-k program this school year, so we are looking for some help in the afternoon hours to play with him. He is fully potty trained, and quite self sufficient, we have a good back yard for playing and live very close to a playground/park. The job is really just to keep him safe and go with him wherever your imaginations take you!

Where: We live in North Medford, very close to Carr Park and Wrights Pond.

Schedule: We are looking for 12-16 hours total sometime during Mon-Fri 12pm-5pm. An ideal schedule would be something like Monday/Tuesday/Thursday 12pm-5pm, but we can be very flexible and adjust based on the schedule needs of our sitter. More interested in finding the right person/people than fitting an exact schedule.

Pay: We are offering $20-25 per hour

Transportation: Car not necessary, we can provide weekly bus fare in addition to pay (we live close to the 101 route).

Other notes: One or both parents will be WFH during the afternoons as well. We have two other children, who will both be at school / daycare full time during the weekday. Date night and weekend sitting may arise as options as well!

We are open to splitting the days, so if this sounds interesting to you, but you could only do one day a week, please still reach out.

Please email Meg Cunningham at cunninghammegane@gmail.com or text (914) 715-3469 if you are interested.
