Afternoon babysitting with an engaging 4 y/o! (North Medford)

Posted on by

Hi! We are looking for a reliable & fun loving babysitter to hang out with our 4 y/o son for some afternoon hours each week.

Our son is a sweet, engaging, talkative child- when you are playing with him, you can visit the bottom of the ocean, the surface of the sun, a penguin colony on Antarctica, all in the space of a few minutes! He will be attending a new morning-only pre-k program this school year, so we are looking for some help in the afternoon hours to play with him. He is fully potty trained, and quite self sufficient, we have a good back yard for playing and live very close to a playground/park. The job is really just to keep him safe and go with him wherever your imaginations take you!

Where: We live in North Medford, very close to Carr Park and Wrights Pond.

Schedule: We are looking for 12-16 hours total sometime during Mon-Fri 12pm-5pm. An ideal schedule would be something like Monday/Tuesday/Thursday 12pm-5pm, but we can be very flexible and adjust based on the schedule needs of our sitter. More interested in finding the right person/people than fitting an exact schedule.

Pay: We are offering $20-25 per hour

Transportation: Car not necessary, we can provide weekly bus fare in addition to pay (we live close to the 101 route).

Other notes: One or both parents will be WFH during the afternoons as well. We have two other children, who will both be at school / daycare full time during the weekday. Date night and weekend sitting may arise as options as well!

We are open to splitting the days, so if this sounds interesting to you, but you could only do one day a week, please still reach out.

Please email Meg Cunningham at cunninghammegane@gmail.com or text (914) 715-3469 if you are interested.

Part Time Babysitter/ Mother’s Helper (Fulton Heights/Medford)

Posted on by

We are a family of three about to be four living in the Fulton Heights area of Medford (Aprox. 2.7 miles from Tufts main campus) with parking available at our home. We currently have a two year old daughter and will be expecting a new baby in early September. We are seeking a part-time nanny/ babysitter/ mother’s helper for the end of summer into the academic year to assist mostly with our two year old.

Duties including babysitting, providing an additional set of hands on outings to playgroups/library, light meal prep (snack, lunch, dinner), and general tidying up around the house (cleaning up toddler eating area after meals, tidying up toys at the end of play).

We are looking for a non-smoker who is up to date with vaccinations (including COVID, Tdap and flu when it becomes available in the fall) and has previous experience with toddlers. Both parents have the ability to work/be at home during the day and therefore can be relatively flexible in creating a schedule.

We can guarantee 12- 15 hours a week with the potential for increased hours during the week and on nights/weekends for weekend day dates/date-nights. Ideal schedule would be at least 2-3 days a week between the hours of 9:00AM- 6:00PM for at least 3-4 hour periods. 

Pay: $25/hour 

If interested in the position, please send an email to Ashley Dellinger at aldellinger@gmail.com with a little bit about yourself, work history and available work hours (again we are willing to be flexible for the right candidate). Thank you!

Summer babysitting (Winter Hill)

Posted on by

We are looking for some help this summer babysitting our bright, sweet 4-year-old son with autism. We need help 3 afternoons per week, 1:00 PM-5:00 PM, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. $20-25/hour.

He will be in summer school for several weeks and coming home on the bus. I work from home most days but If I’m not home, you would have to meet him at the bus right outside our house.

During the time you’re with him, you’ll just need to give him some snacks and play. He loves puzzles, cars, and playing with water. We’re working on potty training but he uses pull-ups and may need a change. We have outdoor space for playing and are near lots of parks and playgrounds.

We are located in Winter Hill in Somerville, close to bus lines and the Green Line. If you drive, we have a driveway with room for your car and also parking passes for street parking. We have one pet in the house, a grumpy cat who will most likely leave you alone.

Please email me at cmkopka@gmail.com if you are interested, and have references available.

Babysitter needed (Medford)

Posted on by

Description: We are seeking a babysitter for our 5 month old daughter this summer. The ideal candidate will have experience with this age. Mom and dad work from home but will occasionally need a sitter for a few hours at a time to independently watch baby, take her on walks, play, put down for naps, change, and feed. Baby will be going to daycare in September so this is currently a summer role, but ideally we will form a strong relationship with this sitter for future occasions such as date nights, etc.

Hours: Support will mostly be needed mid-week with flexible hours (usually a few hours between 9-5). We can chat about what works best for your schedule.

Location: Yale Street in South Medford

Pay: $23/hour

Contact: Christa.Villari@gmail.com

Other notes: We have three cats in the home. Also, non-smokers only please!

Part-time babysitter (Medford)

Posted on by

We are a family of five (children ages 6, 4 and 10 months) in search of a part-time babysitter/nanny to take care of our baby at our house in Medford Square. Our two older children will be in school full-time. The most important thing for us is to find someone who seems like a good fit for our family, and our experience has been that education students are a very good fit. In other words, we are happy to discuss the schedule and to organize it in a way that works well for someone who would like to work with us, and for that person’s busy schedules/other commitments/commute. We are all vaccinated and boosted and are looking for a babysitter/nanny who is also vaccinated and boosted.

A bit about our family: We are all American-born and the US is our home, but we have spent much of the last few years living in Australia and Berlin. Our children have been in German-speaking schools/preschools primarily, but our family language is English. We don’t have a TV and try to spend as much time on bicycles and outdoors as we can (a challenge in New England, but we do try). Our son will be 15 months old in September 2023 and he is a happy, independent baby.

Schedule: Ideally starting at the beginning of September 2023 (when I return to work from maternity leave). The schedule we have in mind would be two or three mornings a week, perhaps 9am – 1pm, totaling between 10-15 hours per week, at times when both parents are working. I am a researcher without teaching duties, so I set my own hours and am happy to work with students who have busy, changeable schedules. We can offer work for the full academic year but can easily accommodate travel, semester breaks, etc.

Pay: We can offer consistent hours at a rate of $20-$25/hour, commensurate upon experience.
