    Occasional Babysitter [Medford]

    Posted on by

    Description: Family of 5 in Medford looking for an occasional afternoon, evening, and/or weekend babysitter. We have three kids (2 yo, 6yo, 9yo). They like to play outside, play card games, do arts and crafts, imaginative play. All three get along well. The older two girls often will play together and don’t need as much from a sitter (but still love to play w babysitters).

    Both parents work in schools so we sometimes need help if we both have school commitments that day. That might involve dinner prep and bedtime. It could also mean driving to or from a kid’s activity. We are also looking for folks who may be available for a date night or weekend day when needed.

    Dates: The first two immediate dates we’re looking for are September 16, 5-7:45pm and September 20, 6:30-9:30pm.

    Pay: $20-25 depending on experience and how many kids are being cared for.

    Location/Transportation: You would need your own transportation. Having your own car is a plus because we may need help picking kids up sometimes but it is not a requirement. We are located about a half mile from Medford Square.
