This family is seeking passionate, nurturing, and experienced weekday babysitters for their 20 month old in West Cambridge, beginning immediately. They are looking for two types of sitters, either the same person for both jobs or separate people:
1. A regular babysitter 1-2 afternoons per week. Exact hours are flexible, approximately 1:30-6:00 or 3:00-6:00. Days of the week are flexible too.
2. As-needed babysitter(s) for occasional appointments at varying times of day during the week.
Responsibilities include engaging with their toddler and keeping him safe. Tasks may include:
- Age-appropriate play
- Reading
- Serving meals and snacks (prepared in advance by parents)
- Mealtime dishes
- Changing diapers
- Putting him down for his nap and waking him up
- Going for walks and/or to neighborhood playgrounds
- Putting away toys used while here
A parent may be home for some of the time the babysitter is working, either working from home in another room or taking care of tasks around the house. At other times, the babysitter will be home alone with their son while parents are at appointments or running errands.
Street parking is available with our guest permit, or we are a 15 minute walk from the Porter Square T stop. We do not have any pets.
Pay is $25-30/hour depending on experience.

- Experience caring for toddlers
