Babysitting for 1-year-old starting in January (Davis Square, Somerville)

Posted on by

Looking for a babysitter to start in January for my son, who will be around one year old at that time. The ideal hours would be 8am-12pm Monday-Thursday but we can be flexible with the times/ dates during the week depending on class schedule. We currently have a Tufts student working with us but she is going abroad in the Spring. We live right in Davis Square. No meal prep or cleaning. Taking him for walks and hanging out with him doing his activities in the living room and putting him down for his morning nap. He is a very happy baby!

Address: 64 Meacham Rd, Somerville, MA 02144

Babysitting Preschooler (Somerville and Cambridge)

Posted on by

Job Description: I am looking for afternoon care for my 4-year-old son, Gus. You’d pick him up at his preschool in Harvard Square and then bring him home or explore the city together (no housework or meal prep required). We live near Aeronaut Brewing in Somerville, which is walking distance from his school and an easy bus ride from Tufts. 

Us: Gus is adventurous, friendly, creative, has an incredible zest for life, and is a ton of fun. He loves playgrounds, ice cream, dinosaurs, telling jokes, T-rides, and making new friends. I’m a solo mom who taught preschool for 20 years and now runs a preschool (the one that Gus goes to).  

You: Someone who enjoys the company of preschoolers, warm and kind with an adventurous spirit. Gus is a little extra vibrant and more active than your average preschooler (I’ve got strategies in place and I’m happy to tell you more), so a background in child development and/or experience babysitting would come in handy (though isn’t necessary). 

Required hours: Tuesday 3-6 and Wednesday 3-6. 

Additional hours that would be wonderful: Monday 12-3, Tuesday 12-3, Wednesday 12-3, and Friday 12-3. Monday 7pm-8pm. 

Pay: $23+ based on experience. Guaranteed hours, paid time off, sick days. 

Start date: ASAP, through the rest of the semester, and hopefully next semester (and next year), too.
Location: Harvard Square and Spring Hill

Babysitting (East Arlington)

Posted on by

We are looking for a babysitter most importantly for Thursday afternoons from 4PM to 8PM. We live on Oxford St in East Arlington, a quick drive, or a bike ride from Tufts. Thursdays my wife is in graduate school in Worcester and I sometimes travel for work. You would come to our house, then walk a block to pick up B.B., our 7-year-old, at her after-school program, bring her home and play with her. She likes Legos, ponies, that sort of thing. Around the same time Stella, our 11-year-old, would be getting herself home, but she is mostly independent. You would make dinner, likely mac and cheese plus a veggie, eat with the girls and clean up dinner. Depending on the week my wife would get home at 6:30 or 7:30. 

We also could use help on Tuesdays, getting B.B. to and from dance class while my wife is at home in an online class. That would be about 3pm to 6pm.
We’d also want to use your service for occasional date nights.

In the past we’ve had some Tufts babysitters that have been fantastic!
Pay: $20 – $25 depending on experience.
