We are seeking someone who would be willing to drop our infant (10mo in March) off for daycare in the mornings. We are both school teachers, and unfortunately need to begin our commute before the daycare center is open! Our son’s daycare is fairly close by, located on Mass Ave. It is a 3min drive from our home or a 12min stroller walk. We would have his things packed and ready to go, you would spend maybe 30-40 min with him to play, possibly change a diaper and/or feed a prepared bottle, and then drop him off by 8am. We have 4hr free parking on our street, and the 77 bus has frequent drops off at the end of our block.
No house duties included in this position- we want the hour to be as simple as possible! All his belongings will be prepared for the day, he will just need company for a little bit and safe arrival at his daycare.

We’re looking for a loving and fun person to help care for our two boys (ages 4.5 and 6.5) Monday through Friday from 2:00-5:00 PM. If you’re only available on certain days or need a few more hours, we’d still love to hear from you!
Hourly rate: $25-$35/hr, based on experience.
We both work from home in a cozy 2-family house in Arlington. My in-laws live downstairs and often take one of the boys on adventures, so most days you’ll be spending time with just one child.
The boys love being outside, riding their scooters, playing with Magnatiles, and building with Legos. If you enjoy engaging with energetic kids and creating a fun afternoon, we think you’d be a great fit!

The Career Center is hosting “Info Session – Teaching Fellowship at Asian University for Women” on Wednesday, February 12th from 5-6 pm in the Milmore Room in Dowling.
We are looking for afterschool help with our three kids (12,10,7) in Winchester.
Responsibilities: Meet the kids at the bus stop, short dog walks in the neighborhood, drive the kids to/from local activities, and help with some light household work as time allows (load dishwasher, empty lunch boxes, kid laundry folding, etc.). The kids are all very independent and don’t need much hands on attention but do need help with transportation.
We are looking for a kind, motivated person to pick our two little kids up from school and play with them for a total of 2 hours per weekday afternoon. These shifts would be Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 2:30-4:30pm at $30/hour. You will need your own car (registered and insured) to go pick up our 2 and 4 year old daughters from two different schools and bring them home. Then check if they would like a snack and spend the rest of the time having fun together. (They love being outdoors!) A quick tidy at the end of your shift is expected, but we highly encourage you to have the kids help clean up their toys. Though not completely necessary, we lean strongly towards hiring a woman (or female born) for this job.
Job requirements:
Registered and insured car of your own – clean driving record – prior experience working with small children – motivation, kindness and patience – willingness to tidy up after the kids (the mess that was created while playing) Pay: $30/hour
Our mission at Groundwork Somerville is to cultivate the next generation of environmental activists to grow a greener and more equitable Somerville. Through youth empowerment, urban farming, equitable food access, and community engagement, we sow the seeds of a healthy community. This summer, we are offering 2 opportunities to be placed with Groundwork Somerville through the Forest Foundation Summer Fellowship program: Green Team Leader and Farm Hand!
The Green Team (GT) is Groundwork Somerville’s youth employment and development program, which hires roughly 16 high-school students each summer for an educational work experience in urban agriculture and climate justice. The Green Team Leaders (GTLs) work full time, approximately 35 hours per week for 9-10 weeks with the Director of Youth Programs and Engagement to plan and run the 6-week program. All GT staff participate in training to build a cohesive team, learn urban farming skills, and familiarize themselves with GT procedures and workshops. Being a GTL is an opportunity to grow as a youth worker, farmer, facilitator, community change agent, and more. Visit our website to learn more, or contact em@groundworksomerville.org with questions!
South Street Farm is an ¼ acre urban farm within walking distance from Union Square in Somerville. Focusing on culturally relevant produce, educational demonstrations, and pollinator gardens, the farm hosts the community while donating up to 2000 lbs of fresh local produce to the Somerville Mobile Market, Project Soup, and our neighborhood community fridge each season. This summer, we are looking for a Farm Hand who is eager to learn the ropes of urban farming and help facilitate some of the programming hosted on the farm. This position works closely with the Director of Urban Agriculture to plant, harvest, and perform routine maintenance on the urban farm and should feel confident lifting up to 50 lbs and working in all weather conditions. Visit our website to learn more, or contact leah@groundworksomerville.org with questions!
