Outreach Learning Fellow – Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach

Fellows will spend sixty minutes once a week in a classroom supporting the students to do hands-on engineering. Fellows will work with the same classroom throughout the semester. The focus of the work will revolve around engineering, social-emotional learning, and DEIJ topics. Fellows will also participate in weekly seminars that will address progressing teaching in engineering education, community relationship building, and anti-oppressive outreach methods.

After school sitter (Arlington)

Posted on by

Hello!  We are looking for after school care and occasional evening care for our eleven-year-old daughter. She is becoming more self-sufficient but we would be looking for someone to ensure she gets home safely (walking from bus), provide transportation as needed and provide some homework assistance/support.

Most likely day would be Mondays and/or Thursdays 3:30-6:30 and some occasional weekend evenings. 

Pay is $25 per hour and we are located in Arlington. We have a cuddly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that would also love to provide snuggles.

Please contact Amy at 617-909-4160 (text) or am.farrell@northeastern.edu.

After school sitter (Winchester, Lexington/ Burlington)

Posted on by

Hello Tufts Students!

I am looking for an after school sitter for 3 children (12, 9, 6) who can pick the kids up from Winchester and drive them to their parents’ homes in Burlington or Lexington (depending on the week) or to appointments in the same general area.

The kids are neurodiverse and twice-exceptional (and sociable and fun) so experience working with 2E kids is a huge plus!   I’m a PhD student at Tufts in mechanical engineering and HRI, and the children’s father is a software engineer.

The right candidate is vaccinated (COVID-19 and otherwise!), a safe driver, reliable, and a good communicator (I prefer text).

Proposed pay is $30/hour with a 3-hour minimum per day, and could be weekly M-F 3-6, or fewer days or alternate weeks, depending on your availability.  If you don’t have a car, we can potentially work something out for you to use mine for driving the children.
