We live in East Arlington, about a 10-minute drive from Tufts, with a bus to Davis Square just steps away.
What we are seeking:
1. Weekday morning (2-5 hours total across 1 or 2 days) light household help while kids are in school. Primary needs: folding and putting away the kids’ clean laundry, tidying toys, and opening packages, rotating small organizing projects (dresser drawers, coat closet). No heavy cleaning; we’re looking for a keen organizer with attention to detail.
2. Occasional babysitting after school (1-2 kids depending on their activity schedule) from 3–5 pm while a parent works from home on a different floor. Our kids enjoy crafts, reading, and dramatic play.
Looking for someone accountable, energetic, and comfortable with a mix of kid-related tasks. We’re hoping to build a year+ partnership.
$24–$27 per hour, depending on experience and fit.
If you’re interested, please send a short intro with your availability, relevant experience, and any references to Rikka.Partners@gmail.com
We need help getting our kids (ages 12 and 14) from school in Cambridge to various afternoon activities this spring.
Each week is different, but we usually need help 2 days a week, sometimes 3 days. Tuesdays and Thursdays are the most important days we need to cover right now. A typical day would involve picking one of them up at school (either at 3:15 or 4:45) and driving them back to Somerville or to an activity in Arlington. Occasionally, we might need help picking one of them up in Concord.
Students with cars who can be flexible between the hours of 3 and 6 on Tuesdays and Thursdays would be ideal. Clean driving record a must, and we’d like some references. $30/hr. If you don’t have a car using ours may also be a possibility.
Please email Elizabeth.foster@tufts.edu.

We are looking for a warm and reliable person to pick our 3yo son up from preschool at Medford High School 3-5 days a week, bring him to our home (1 mile from there), and hang out with him for about an hour until we get home from work. We can be flexible on amount of days and which days but would need to have an agreed upon schedule ahead of time and stick to that. You will need a car and a clean driving record.
Our son is a really talkative, fun, easy going kid. We also have two older daughters and there could occasionally be times when we ask you to help out with picking them up but that would be with advanced notice and could adjust the rate for that.
We’re hoping to have someone start in early March and continue through the end of the school year (late June).
Pay depends on experience, $20-30 per hour.

We are seeking a babysitter to help with our 2-year-old son. We just had a baby a few days ago! We will be home most of the time with the baby, in another room. We are looking for someone to play with our son either outside (backyard or nearby playground) or in our house, as we are avoiding indoor play spaces while our baby is so young. Our son is shy at first and nervous with new caregivers, but warms up quickly and is then sociable and independent. Duties would involve feeding him breakfast and lunch, occasionally putting him down for a nap, and ideally helping with dishes as time allows. Our schedule is flexible if other days work better.
Days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:30am-1:30pm.
Pay: $25 an hour
