Jobs may include:
- Driving the boys to sporting events and other activities
- Preparing dinner
- Wash/dry/fold laundry and load/unload dishwasher

- Grocery shopping
We have no pets and don’t smoke. Often one or both parents will be home. Please have references and up-to-date vaccinations and email to iris@irisponte.com
Rate $30/hr. Gas/mileage reimbursement.

Seeking Babysitter near Davis Square
We are seeking an occasional weekend evening babysitter for our 14 month old daughter this summer and into the next academic year. Our baby is good natured and sleeps through the night (as long as she has her paci)! We’re seeking an occasional date night sitter who would predominantly be watching our daughter after she has already been put down to bed – so, mostly watching the baby monitor and being on site in case anything were to happen. The ideal candidate would be an experienced sitter who is a non-smoker. We’re located in North Cambridge, less than a half mile from the Davis Square T-Stop (we can make a visitor’s parking pass available to those who drive). We anticipate needing a sitter for a few hours 1-2 evenings per month. The babysitter would need to be comfortable with dogs. We have a 4 year old goldendoodle who will be in the home. The sitter is not expected to walk/care for the dog, but the dog will be there (probably sleeping/demanding attention), so a comfort with dogs is important.
Pay is $20/hour. Please contact megan.lenneman@gmail.com if you’re interested!
