We have two children and live in Roslindale near Cummins Highway and are close to buses and Forest Hills. I am looking for care for my youngest (she’s 3 in December) for Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays starting at 2pm and staying until 5pm.

After-School Sitter Needed (Medford)

We’re looking for a regular after-school sitter for 3 kids, ages 6, 7, and 8. We’re flexible on days/times, but hours needed would be 3PM-5PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays, and 2PM-5PM on Wednesdays. Currently during this time our kids watch TV and binge-eat snacks while we work from home, so any activities or entertainment you can provide — indoor or outdoor — beyond that would be wonderful!

Our only requirements are: you must be COVID-vaccinated and provide your own transportation to/from our home in Medford. Pay would be $20/hour, but that is negotiable depending on experience.

Please reach out if you’re interested: julie.bogart@gmail.com or 617-721-4040.

Occasional Babysitter Needed In Arlington


Hi! I need occasional care for my 5-year-old son. He has a 13-year-old sister who is fairly independent, but she may be involved/need supervision at times as well. My son has Autism, but he is verbal and generally well-behaved. He would benefit from spending time with someone who is upbeat, friendly, creative, resourceful, and patient.

Ideally, you have a car and would be willing to transport both children as needed.

*Currently, I need someone for Tuesday April 19th afternoon, Saturday April 23rd daytime, (potentially) the evening of Saturday April 30th, Saturday May 7th afternoon, Sunday May 15th afternoon/evening.
