Looking for help with afterschool care – walking/driving home, getting snack, getting ready for afterschool activities, hanging out – any afternoons a week for 6/9/10 year olds. We are especially interested in Tuesdays/Wednesdays/Thursdays. The older kids are pretty self-sufficient but the little one could use a friend to play Uno with and go to the park every once in a while. Ability to drive and access to a car is preferable but not necessary. End time is listed as 5:30 but that can be flexible depending on everyone’s schedules. We are a mile from campus center, at the edge of Cambridge/Arlington.

Pay: $26-28

Schedule: 2:30-5:30 M/T/Th; 1:30-5:30 W

We’re looking for someone with a car who can pick up our 6 and 4 year old from their school, drive them back to our house near Raymond Park in Cambridge (a 10 minute drive), and then hang out with them for a few hours and feed them dinner. We’re looking for a regular Friday commitment (generally 530-830) and then the occasional weeknight pick up (530-8ish) when a parent is traveling or has a work commitment. We have an older dog who will ask for pets but otherwise won’t be your responsibility in any way. Pay is $30 per hour.

Situation:

My 12 year old (they/them) is recovering from autistic burnout – ASD level 1, persistent drive for autonomy (PDA) profile. They will be doing tutoring at home rather than attending school in person this year. They struggle with peer relationships but desperately want someone who isn’t a parent to hang out with. We are seeking a “hang out buddy” to, well, hang out with them for several hours a week.

To be successful, you will be:

• Happy to follow directions from a 12 year old, even if that means running around the house in a bathing suit singing the lyrics “I am an idiot, bum bum bum” over and over again
• Willing to jump on a trampoline and be taught how to do flips from said 12 year old
• Play video games and lose gracefully
• Willing to learn about the PDA autism profile

Bonus points if you:

• Know how to use blender or animation software
• Play any kind of musical instrument
• Use Final Cut Pro
• Have a YouTube presence and are interested in having a 12 year old edit videos for you

We live in Concord, MA (30 min drive from Tufts). Our schedule is flexible, but ideally someone would come hang out for 3-4 hours twice a week, weekdays, during the day. Pay is $20-$25 per hour.

Please email ejfife@gmail.com with questions or interest.

“In search of kind, experienced, and playful occasional date night babysitters for our spunky 9 and 7 year old kids for the remainder of the summer, fall, and beyond.  We do not have a set schedule in mind, but do have a couple of upcoming dates (8/16 specifically). We live just a short walk from the Boston Ave/Winthrop St intersection and have a fairly large, sweet dog who would always be present.  

Bonus if you play piano, ride a skateboard, or draw comics and are willing to help my kids practice those skills. Positive references required.  $25/hr, occasional evenings for 4 hours or so.
