Hello!
We are a loving family with two wonderful daughters (ages 6.5 and 4.5) and one tiny dog!
We are looking for a kind and empathetic student who genuinely loves playing and taking care of children to help us in the afternoon from 3:30 – 6:30PM, preferably Monday, Tuesday and/or Thursday afternoons.
A little more on us – We have had a nanny for 7 years, but now that our younger daughter is in school, we are parting ways and exploring new childcare options. We live nearby in Winchester, MA and are targeting ~$25-30 per hour, but are open to discussion for the right person. A strong natural fit is most important to us!
In addition, we are hoping to find someone who can occasionally help play with the girls on “no-school days.” For example, parent-teacher conference days, Veteran’s Day, MLK Day, some days of Feb and April breaks, etc.
If this sounds like a good fit, please contact us! We would love to meet you.
Thanks!

Hello! We are looking for someone who can pick up our Pre-K, 4yo son at the bus stop (~5min walk from our house) on Thursdays at 3:30pm. We are located in Cambridge along Mass Ave a few blocks from Davis Square, bus drops him off at Peabody Elementary.
Most Thursdays, one of us will pick up our 2yo daughter from daycare and meet you and our son at home around 5:30pm (so, a 2hr baseline). But we are hoping to find someone who would also be able to handle getting the second kid / dinner / even potentially bedtime on occasional Thursdays when we have evening things (we pay extra when the 2yo is in the mix).
Further hours (and occasional other evenings) are a possibility, but the Thursday pickup is the main thing we’re trying to plan for this spring. It could start in mid-January or as late as February 12th, depending on what works for you. $30/hr.
