Tutoring Opportunity

I am looking for a tutor/tutors for my two children, ages 10 and 13 (they are in 5th and 8th grade in the Somerville public school system). 

For my 10 year old girl, we are looking for someone to reinforce math skills with her. She gets flustered during class time and would like a little extra practice/reinforcement. We would like to start meeting 1x week, Tuesday or Thursday anytime after she gets out of school (2:30 PM) until 4 or 4:30. 

My 13 year old son has ASD1 and ADHD and is often behind on school work. He could use some supervision/guidance getting work done (ELA and SS are particularly tough for him but sometimes he needs help in math as well). He also could use some assistance making schedules and routines for himself. He enjoys computer programming so someone with a knowledge base in that would be a plus, but not necessary. Tuesday or Thursday are also ideal, 1 hour at a time. 

Ideally this would be the same person, who would work with my daughter for an hour, then my son for another hour. We can start with one day a week and possibly work up to two if it feels right. I can offer $30/hr.

We live on Willow Ave in Somerville, between Davis and Ball Sq

Babysitting Opportunity

Looking for an occasional babysitter for my three kids. We have an 11 year old, 8 year old, and 6 year old who love sports, art, music, reading, and board games.

We are interested in a babysitter for occasional weekend nights. Both parents also work outside of the home including some nights and weekends so would also be looking for occasional weeknight evening or weekend day help.

Babysitting would be for all three (although the 11 year old is pretty self sufficient!) or sometimes the younger two.

We live in Winchester and you would need your own transportation.

Pay: $25 per hour, negotiable depending on experience or added responsibilities
