Morning and Evening Babysitter for 7 and 9 year-old (Somerville)

Posted on by

Looking for someone to come to my house near Tufts and assist my 7 and 9 year old in the mornings (wake, watch show, dress, walk to West Somerville School if they want someone to go with them) when Iā€™m out of town traveling. My partner has to leave too early to help out (heā€™s a school teacher).

About 1-2 mornings per month this person would come over at around 7am, get the kids ready, and walk them 0.4 miles to daycare/ West Somerville Neighborhood School (which are right across the street from each other) for drop off at 8am. They often just want to walk themselves, but in case they are having a slower/harder morning I’d like the person to be open to walking them directly to school.

Pay is negotiable, and I will pay you well for the 2 hours of morning work!

Current dates needed for mornings are:
– Wed Oct 16th
– Fri Nov 8th (waiting to confirm this date)
– Thur/Fri Dec 5/6

Flexible on weekly date night times/dates.
