Babysitting two twins (Boston, MA)

A family is looking for a graduate student who is interested in doing some babysitting for two twins who are both diagnosed with ASD. Parents are a bit overwhelmed and hoping to find some babysitters for them to get a minute for themselves. Parents primary language is Mandarin, but their English is totally fluent and they can switch between them without difficulty so language needs aren’t a factor. For the weekends, it would only be for 1-2 hours, similar for the weekdays from 4-7pm.
