We are an active and busy family and the kids love to play outside and do Legos. We also have a big, friendly dog. Will need a car to get here and drive kids but we are only about 10 minutes from Tufts.

Hours: Looking for Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday 2-6 pm but we have some flexibility so please reach out if interested for any days or times within this range. 

Start Date: as soon as possible

Pay: $22/hour.

After-School Sitter Position (West Medford)

We are looking for an after-school babysitter in West Medford three days a week (10-12 hours depending on what the caregiver is interested/available to do) for our two daughters, ages 4 and 8.

The job will begin the week of October 3 and last throughout the duration of the school year. We’re looking for someone that will pick up the girls from their schools in the neighborhood, unpack backpacks, do snacks, help the older daughter with homework, and walk them to their activities (also in the neighborhood).

Pay is $25/hour and we’re offering a $1,000 signing bonus (to be split after first and sixth months). Driving is very helpful but not required, as school pickups and activities are all within the neighborhood.

We are looking for Thursdays from 2-6 (parents both travel this day), but we’re flexible on the other two days and could work with caregiver to determine a set schedule. If you have any interest in a recurring job like this, I’d love to talk more. Our girls are very funny, sweet, and we’ve had really great experiences with babysitters and nannies in the past eight years. We also live 1.3 miles from the Tufts campus.

If interested in the position please email Stephanie at stephaniekmo@gmail.com.
