Babysitting/part-time nanny job in South Boston

Posted on by

Our family of three is looking for some part-time childcare help for our just-turned-four-year-old, starting around the second half of June and extending through early-September (if possible). We’re in South Boston, right over the Broadway stop on the Red Line. Hoping to find someone interested in 15-20 hours/week, who would care for our son from early afternoon to early evening, three to four days a week. Our little one is active and curious, loves scooting, playgrounds, building with blocks, reading with grownups, visiting libraries and museums and more. We have memberships at most of the local kid-friendly museums and zoos, and easy access to a pool for hot days. Looking forward to hearing from anyone interested with early childcare experience, to share more about our family and needs and learn more about you. To note: There is also the possibility of continuing with some late afternoon hours during the next school year.

Compensation: $20-$22/ hour

Occasional Babysitter Needed In Arlington

Posted on by


Hi! I need occasional care for my 5-year-old son. He has a 13-year-old sister who is fairly independent, but she may be involved/need supervision at times as well. My son has Autism, but he is verbal and generally well-behaved. He would benefit from spending time with someone who is upbeat, friendly, creative, resourceful, and patient.

Ideally, you have a car and would be willing to transport both children as needed.

*Currently, I need someone for Tuesday April 19th afternoon, Saturday April 23rd daytime, (potentially) the evening of Saturday April 30th, Saturday May 7th afternoon, Sunday May 15th afternoon/evening.

Seeking Morning Childcare

Seeking early riser(s) to help our 3 children (b/g twins 10, and son, 6) start their days on a positive note.  Wake them up; help the little guy get dressed; oversee breakfast and cleanup; ensure all teeth are brushed; hair is combed; lunches are packed into bags; and winter gear isn’t left behind.  Drive two of the children to school (the third child has a separate carpool).  

You’ll be finished before your first class even starts!

Includes: breakfast for you too!

Pay:  $40/morning

Available days:  M-F through June 10

If there’s a desire to work add’l hours, you can come back to the house after the school drop off and prep school lunches for the following day.  Pay is $20/hr. 

About us:  We’re a fully vaccinated (and adult-boosted) family of 5 who have lived in Arlington for 10 years.  Both Mom’s and Dad’s work starts before the kids even leave for school which is why we’re seeking morning help.  The entire family has a great sense of humor, so be prepared to hear a joke or two from the kids when you meet us.
