Datenight babysitter (Medford)
We are looking for a kind and reliable date night babysitter. We like to go out once a month and pay $25 an hour. We live in Medford and have two girls ages 5 and 2 years old. If interested please email me at halleyhsnelling@gmail.com.

dog/cat sitter (around Tufts)
Hello! My wife and I will be out of town from Saturday, August 23 to Friday, August 29 and are in need of a sitter for our ~50 lb. dog Mishka and cat Moop. The main thing involved is taking care of Mishka by staying 6 nights in our apartment (right next to the Tufts campus), feeding her twice a day, and taking her out for a walk ~3 times per day. Moop is much more low maintenance (just needs occasional company and to have her food/water topped off as needed). You would be welcome to use our apartment and we will pay $350 for your time.
Mishka is a very friendly, playful, and snuggly dog who is a lot of fun to be around. She is also young (~2.5 years) and a mix of high-energy breeds (German shepherd, border collie, husky), so she has a lot of puppy energy and needs someone who is comfortable around energetic dogs.
If you think you or someone you know would be a good fit for this, please let me know, and we can talk more and arrange a meeting with Mishka.
Please contact Dylan at dylan.vasey@tufts.edu if interested.

Babysitting (Mass Ave near Porter and Davis)
Hi! We are looking for a reliable / punctual / lively babysitter for our 4yo son. He’s attending public pre-K (via bus) but we will need some after-school assistance, particularly on Wednesdays and Thursdays starting in September (additional days may be available, we can talk, but these are the firm needs). We think he’s pretty fun, loves playing, loves drawing. We’re on Mass Ave near Porter and Davis.
The baseline week: Pick our son up from the bus stop near our place on Wednesday (3pm) and Thursday (3:40pm). We will pay an extra 15min on the start end so you can be a bit early to the bus stop! There are nearby parks, and a library, or playing at home is great too. This will be an all-walking situation, no car or other transit needed. In general we will pick up our other child (1.5yo) from daycare and you’ll be done when we get home (by 5:45pm). So the general norm would be 5.5 hr / week. We’re thinking $30/hr.
We might partner with another family if you’re open to multiple kids (hourly fee would adjust accordingly), but wanted to start talking to folks first.
If you’re interested in longer hours, we might sometimes ask you to also pick up our daughter at 5:30pm (her daycare is three blocks away) and handle kid dinner with the two of them … this is not a core expectation, but we’re hoping for someone who’d be willing and able to extend (with advance warning of course) when we have evening stuff (let’s say two or three times a month).
Please email me at jamesdgraham@gmail.com if you’re interested! Thanks.
