After-School Care for Two Boys (Arlington)

We’re looking for a loving and fun person to help care for our two boys (ages 4.5 and 6.5) Monday through Friday from 2:00-5:00 PM. If you’re only available on certain days or need a few more hours, we’d still love to hear from you!

Hourly rate: $25-$35/hr, based on experience.

We both work from home in a cozy 2-family house in Arlington. My in-laws live downstairs and often take one of the boys on adventures, so most days you’ll be spending time with just one child.

The boys love being outside, riding their scooters, playing with Magnatiles, and building with Legos. If you enjoy engaging with energetic kids and creating a fun afternoon, we think you’d be a great fit!

December Morning Daycare Drop-Off (Arlington Center)

Seeking a reliable caregiver to drop our 6mo infant off for daycare during the first 3 weeks of December. We are both school teachers, and unfortunately need to begin our commute before the daycare center is open!

Our son’s daycare is fairly close by, located on Mass Ave. It is a 3min drive from our home or a 12min stroller walk. We would have his things packed and ready to go, you would spend maybe 30-40 min with him to play or possibly feed a prepared bottle, and then drop him off at daycare by 8am. We have 4hr free parking on our street, and the 77 bus has frequent drops off at the end of our block.

No house duties included in this position- we want the hour to be as simple as possible! All his belongings will be prepared for the day, he will just need company for a little bit and safe arrival at his daycare.

Location: Arlington Center, near Town Hall
Hours: 6:45am – 8am, M-F (first 3 weeks of December)
Pay: $20 – $25 per dropoff, will happily negotiate based upon experience

Looking for someone who is:

  • experienced with infant care
  • non-smoker
  • responsible & consistent with arrival & drop off times

Please reach out to Diana at diana.galanakis@gmail.com if you are interested!
