Spanish-speaking Babysitter (Medford)

We are looking for a Spanish speaking student who would be interested in taking care of our 10 year-old twin daughters on Thursdays from 3 to 5pm approximately (3:30 to 5 if not available earlier), starting in September and throughout the school year. Our daughters had a Spanish speaking babysitter when they were younger, they fully understand Spanish and are able to communicate fairly well although they are not bilingual. They have been asking for someone who could help them keep practicing. Therefore we would like to hire someone whose native tongue is Spanish (or both English and Spanish), who is outgoing and would commit to only speak Spanish to them.

Activities would include playing various games with them -indoors and/or outdoors depending on the weather- and maybe helping them a little bit with homework. They will likely be back from school around 2:45pm but are old enough to go home alone, so arrival time for you is flexible. We live very close to Tufts, about 10 minutes walking on the Medford side.

Pay: $25/hour.
Non smoker please.
Experience with children a plus but not required.

If you are not available on Thursdays but are still interested, feel free to reach out all the same. Tuesdays 5/5:30 to 7pm could also be an option. Please email if you have any questions.

Contact:delpicard@gmail.com, (617)852-3454, ask for Delphine (Please leave a message if I cannot pick up.)

Afternoon babysitting with an engaging 4 y/o! (North Medford)

Hi! We are looking for a reliable & fun loving babysitter to hang out with our 4 y/o son for some afternoon hours each week.

Our son is a sweet, engaging, talkative child- when you are playing with him, you can visit the bottom of the ocean, the surface of the sun, a penguin colony on Antarctica, all in the space of a few minutes! He will be attending a new morning-only pre-k program this school year, so we are looking for some help in the afternoon hours to play with him. He is fully potty trained, and quite self sufficient, we have a good back yard for playing and live very close to a playground/park. The job is really just to keep him safe and go with him wherever your imaginations take you!

Where: We live in North Medford, very close to Carr Park and Wrights Pond.

Schedule: We are looking for 12-16 hours total sometime during Mon-Fri 12pm-5pm. An ideal schedule would be something like Monday/Tuesday/Thursday 12pm-5pm, but we can be very flexible and adjust based on the schedule needs of our sitter. More interested in finding the right person/people than fitting an exact schedule.

Pay: We are offering $20-25 per hour

Transportation: Car not necessary, we can provide weekly bus fare in addition to pay (we live close to the 101 route).

Other notes: One or both parents will be WFH during the afternoons as well. We have two other children, who will both be at school / daycare full time during the weekday. Date night and weekend sitting may arise as options as well!

We are open to splitting the days, so if this sounds interesting to you, but you could only do one day a week, please still reach out.

Please email Meg Cunningham at cunninghammegane@gmail.com or text (914) 715-3469 if you are interested.
