Babysitter [Medford/Malden]

Posted on by

Details: Babysitting/in home care for our 2.5 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 2.5 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 our 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 11yrs old, VERY FRIENDLY, LOVES PEOPLE) and should be open to changing pull ups (can also teach this skill as we did with 2 other babysitters from Tufts last year but it should be noted we are about to potty train so this is not a requirement! CPR certification is a plus but not required! 

Hours: Flexibility if needed/lets chat! Primarily we are looking to provide 4-5 hours of childcare, primarily between the hours of 9-1 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We would be open to sitters that are open the entire 9-5 slot on Tuesdays as well. 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

Tutoring Opportunity

Posted on by

I am looking for a tutor/tutors for my two children, ages 10 and 13 (they are in 5th and 8th grade in the Somerville public school system). 

For my 10 year old girl, we are looking for someone to reinforce math skills with her. She gets flustered during class time and would like a little extra practice/reinforcement. We would like to start meeting 1x week, Tuesday or Thursday anytime after she gets out of school (2:30 PM) until 4 or 4:30. 

My 13 year old son has ASD1 and ADHD and is often behind on school work. He could use some supervision/guidance getting work done (ELA and SS are particularly tough for him but sometimes he needs help in math as well). He also could use some assistance making schedules and routines for himself. He enjoys computer programming so someone with a knowledge base in that would be a plus, but not necessary. Tuesday or Thursday are also ideal, 1 hour at a time. 

Ideally this would be the same person, who would work with my daughter for an hour, then my son for another hour. We can start with one day a week and possibly work up to two if it feels right. I can offer $30/hr.

We live on Willow Ave in Somerville, between Davis and Ball Sq.
