Babysitting Opportunity ( Medford )

Posted on by

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.

Babysitter Needed for 1 toddler in Medford

Posted on by

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
