December Morning Daycare Drop-Off (Arlington Center)

Posted on by

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

After-school Childcare (Arlington, MA)

Posted on by

We’re looking for help after school for our two boys (ages 4. 5yrs and 6.5yrs), and we need care M-F from 2:00-5:00. If you’re only available for some of those days, we’d still love to hear from you. The hourly rate ranges from $30-$35/hr depending on experience. 

We both work from home, and we live in a 2-family house in Arlington. My in-laws live on the first floor and often take one of the boys on an adventure so most days you’d only have one child.

The boys love being outside, riding their scooters, playing Magnatiles, and building with Legos so we’re looking for a loving and fun person to spend the afternoons with them. We hope that person is you!

If you’re interested, please reach out to Bridget at bridgeoconnor@gmail.com
