July/Aug Nanny for 2- and 4-year-old in Cambridge

Posted on by

Description: We are looking for a joyful and patient full-time nanny for our toddlers from July 21-Aug 15. The nanny would primarily care for our 2-year-old as our 4-year-old will be in a summer camp each day until 3pm. Hours would typically be 9am-5pm with a paid lunch break, but we are flexible and can work with the nanny’s schedule as needed. Although this is a summer position, we would welcome the nanny to begin doing occasional babysitting this spring so they could get to know our children. We live in Cambridge close to Harvard Square, so we have lots of playgrounds, museums, and a library within walking distance. No car/driving needed, but can offer a parking spot if the nanny chooses to drive to work. Previous childcare experience is required, and, ideally with children under age 5.

Pay: $30/hour

Responsibilities: We expect the nanny to keep our children safe, whether that’s during indoor play or on outdoor adventures. Over the summer, we’d like for the nanny to take our daughter on daily outings to playgrounds, the library, museums, or local events. The nanny will be expected to feed our daughter snacks and lunch, and to tidy all spaces used throughout the day. The nanny will also be asked to fold and put away our children’s laundry. We are looking for candidates who are reliable, good communicators, and genuinely enjoy getting to know children and supporting their creativity and development.

Babysitting for a 2 year old (Medford)

Posted on by

Details: Babysitting/in home care for our 2 year old son who loves to play and spend time with others! He is very friendly, social, sweet, and has all developmental milestones. He is very verbal and independent for 2 yrs old making it easy to communicate his wants and needs. 

We live in a single family home with a fenced in yard, across the street from a lovely public park with walking paths and a beautiful pond. In the spring it is known for all the ducklings and goslings that wander around. Additionally, we live .3 miles from another park with a child’s playground, basketball court, tennis courts, and sports fields. We also live within walking distance from coffee shops, restaurants, Medford Target, and many more stores.

Our son loves spending time outside (weather permitting). In addition to playing with our son during this time, you will be responsible for monitoring him and giving him provided snack/meals. (We have all snack/lunches prepared for sitters so it is easier, you simply just have to give it to him when he is hungry and monitor him so he eats his food safely.)

Both my husband and I work remotely so will be upstairs the majority of the time. With the exception of occasionally leaving the house to run errands, to the gym, or work related trips. (we try out best to stay out of the way but are around to assist if needed. (e.g Babysitter needs a break/take a lunch, we can come down to provide relief) 

Job requirements: A car to travel to our home, previous babysitting experience (references upon request), familiarity with dogs (we have a family dog who is 10yrs old, VERY FRIENDLY, LOVES PEOPLE) and should be open to changing diapers (can also teach this skill as we did with 2 other babysitters from Tufts last year) CPR certified is a plus but not required! 

Hours: Flexible if needed! Primarily we are looking to provide 4-5 hours of childcare, between the hours of 9-4 on Monday and Fridays until the middle of June! Can be flexible around class schedules or practices if needed, just need notice to accommodate work schedules. 

location: Our house is nestled in between the Medford/Malden town line (approx 10 min drive from campus) 

Pay: $21/hr
