After-School Care for Two Boys (Arlington)

Posted on by

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!
