Babysitting needed (West Somerville)

Posted on by

We are looking for reliable babysitters we can hire for date nights.

Our 5 year old and 7 year old boys are creative and fun, but also have severe food allergies and asthma, so we are hoping to find responsible people who are comfortable managing an inhaler/epipen if needed.

We have a few events coming up later in the summer we’ll need sitters for, but are also hoping to find someone who can continue to babysit during the school year as well.

We live near Powderhouse Circle (West Somervillle) and pay $25-30/hour.

Thank you!

Babysitting needed (Winchester)

Looking for a friendly, trustworthy, fun babysitter for our 3 kids (ages 2, 5, and 7) in Winchester for one day/week and occasional date nights starting asap.

* prepare light snacks/meals for the kids, as well as clean up afterwards

* not mind handling diaper changes for our youngest

* take care of light household tasks (tidy up the toys after playing- involving the kids too as appropriate)

* have reliable transportation, be CPR/First Aid aware (if not certified)

* be available for 3-4 hours one day a week as well as occasional evenings

* be comfortable doing bedtime routine with the kids on occasional evenings

* be a positive, caring role model

If interested please send details on your babysitting experience and a little about who you are/why you like to babysit to aloringtirella@gmail.com

Per diem or part-time PCA / caregiver Somerville, MA

Posted on by

Looking to hire someone for per diem and/or part time relief care for a disabled adult with chronic illness. Help would include meal prep (lunch and dinner), kitchen clean up, and possibly some light housework.  Hours are flexible as we are looking to give my partner a break from caretaking – likely 1-2 afternoons or evenings per week if PT. Per diem schedule would be random weekends (full days) but infrequent (every few months).

I’m mid 30s living in Somerville MA between Davis Square and Porter Square.  Kind, understanding, and a queer friendly person. We have a 1 year old dog who is social and sweet.  I’m a non smoker but don’t care if you are.  I am fully vaccinated and request you are too as I am immunocompromised.

This would be a good opportunity for a pre-med/nursing student to get some patient care hours.  I am a trained medical provider myself and happy to chat about the profession!
