I am looking for some before/after school help. I live on the Malden/Medford line, near the small target. I have an 8.5 yo and a 6.5yo.
My morning need is from 7:15 to 8:30. This would include finishing morning routine and getting my 8 yo off to the bus. She can be walked or told to leave. In inclement weather she could be dropped off on their way to the little guy’s school. Both schools are in Medford.
My afternoon need is for pickup of my little guy at 2:30. I will likely be home by 4. Between they can do whatever they want – come home, go to playgrounds, get ice cream, etc..
A car is necessary.
I will split shifts as long as there is a commitment. So, even if someone is available for 1 shift – please connect. But preference and higher pay will be given for more committment. If additional hours are sought, this can be discussed.
Pay is 25/30 an hour.
If interested, please contact me, Jennifer, at jolyjennifer@gmail.com

We are looking for some help this summer babysitting our bright, sweet 4-year-old son with autism. We need help 3 afternoons per week, 1:00 PM-5:00 PM, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. $20-25/hour.
He will be in summer school for several weeks and coming home on the bus. I work from home most days but If I’m not home, you would have to meet him at the bus right outside our house.
During the time you’re with him, you’ll just need to give him some snacks and play. He loves puzzles, cars, and playing with water. We’re working on potty training but he uses pull-ups and may need a change. We have outdoor space for playing and are near lots of parks and playgrounds.
We are located in Winter Hill in Somerville, close to bus lines and the Green Line. If you drive, we have a driveway with room for your car and also parking passes for street parking. We have one pet in the house, a grumpy cat who will most likely leave you alone.
Please email me at cmkopka@gmail.com if you are interested, and have references available.
Our family is looking for a part-time babysitter/nanny, starting in September.
One day a week (Wednesdays) we need the sitter to care for our little boy who will be 17 months old and our friend/neighbor’s little girl who will be 18 months. Responsibilities will include feeding, diaper changing, putting down for a nap, playing, & taking them for walks or to the playground. They love the outdoors and music!
The other day of the week you would be taking care of just our little guy.
I’ll either be at class or home reading/writing for grad school while you’re here. We’re offering work for the full academic year but can accommodate semester breaks and holidays.

We are two families seeking some fun literacy/phonics coaching over the summer for two girls, ages six and seven. Both children are around the same reading level: learning the letters, the sounds they make, and beginning stages of sounding out words.
Our goal is to give these two friends a cooperative learning opportunity that appeals to their interests and also gives them many movement breaks. Both children have been diagnosed with ADHD, and so lessons that can be in the form of outside games, art projects, theatrical performances, neighborhood hikes, and phonics scavenger hunts would be ideal for engaging these enthusiastic, creative adventurers.
These two kiddos have known each other since they were babies. They share many of the same interests, including performing arts, dance, nature, playing in sand and water, arts and crafts, fantastical imaginative role playing, cats and tigers, Pokemon, legos, vampires, superheroes, and cooking. They have been known to put on a good puppet show together, and have also recorded some vampire-themed podcasts.
Applicants must be LGBTQ+ friendly.
We live fifteen minutes away from one another in Medford and Arlington. Both home spaces are available for sessions with indoor work and play spaces as well as backyards. Both families live walking distance to playgrounds. We can also provide transportation to a third location if needed. Note that both homes also have cats in residence.
We are hoping for three or more sessions a week with availability on most weekends as well as weekdays after 4:30.
If the summer works well, we would be excited to continue sessions into the fall with availability weekends and weekdays after 3:00.
Compensation: $35-40 per hour depending on level of experience. Supplies and snacks will be reimbursed.
References and background check required.
Interested applicants should email Anne Marie Darling at at annemarie.darling@gmail.com or call 617-583-3109.
We are looking for help for our family of four in Belmont (on the Arlington line), including two boys (14 and 11) starting September, 2023. As our boys get older, what we need is another set of hands and a driver, more than a true babysitter. We are hoping for someone to help Monday through Thursday from roughly 3pm to 8pm. Must be a safe driver with a safe car.
Jobs may include:
We have no pets and don’t smoke. Often one or both parents will be home. Please have references and up-to-date vaccinations and email to iris@irisponte.com
Rate $30/hr. Gas/mileage reimbursement.
We are seeking an occasional weekend evening babysitter for our 14 month old daughter this summer and into the next academic year. Our baby is good natured and sleeps through the night (as long as she has her paci)! We’re seeking an occasional date night sitter who would predominantly be watching our daughter after she has already been put down to bed – so, mostly watching the baby monitor and being on site in case anything were to happen. The ideal candidate would be an experienced sitter who is a non-smoker. We’re located in North Cambridge, less than a half mile from the Davis Square T-Stop (we can make a visitor’s parking pass available to those who drive). We anticipate needing a sitter for a few hours 1-2 evenings per month. The babysitter would need to be comfortable with dogs. We have a 4 year old goldendoodle who will be in the home. The sitter is not expected to walk/care for the dog, but the dog will be there (probably sleeping/demanding attention), so a comfort with dogs is important.
Pay is $20/hour. Please contact megan.lenneman@gmail.com if you’re interested!
