Afternoon babysitting with an engaging 4 y/o! (North Medford)

Posted on by

Hi! We are looking for a reliable & fun loving babysitter to hang out with our 4 y/o son for some afternoon hours each week.

Our son is a sweet, engaging, talkative child- when you are playing with him, you can visit the bottom of the ocean, the surface of the sun, a penguin colony on Antarctica, all in the space of a few minutes! He will be attending a new morning-only pre-k program this school year, so we are looking for some help in the afternoon hours to play with him. He is fully potty trained, and quite self sufficient, we have a good back yard for playing and live very close to a playground/park. The job is really just to keep him safe and go with him wherever your imaginations take you!

Where: We live in North Medford, very close to Carr Park and Wrights Pond.

Schedule: We are looking for 12-16 hours total sometime during Mon-Fri 12pm-5pm. An ideal schedule would be something like Monday/Tuesday/Thursday 12pm-5pm, but we can be very flexible and adjust based on the schedule needs of our sitter. More interested in finding the right person/people than fitting an exact schedule.

Pay: We are offering $20-25 per hour

Transportation: Car not necessary, we can provide weekly bus fare in addition to pay (we live close to the 101 route).

Other notes: One or both parents will be WFH during the afternoons as well. We have two other children, who will both be at school / daycare full time during the weekday. Date night and weekend sitting may arise as options as well!

We are open to splitting the days, so if this sounds interesting to you, but you could only do one day a week, please still reach out.

Please email Meg Cunningham at cunninghammegane@gmail.com or text (914) 715-3469 if you are interested.

Part Time Babysitter/ Mother’s Helper (Fulton Heights/Medford)

Posted on by

We are a family of three about to be four living in the Fulton Heights area of Medford (Aprox. 2.7 miles from Tufts main campus) with parking available at our home. We currently have a two year old daughter and will be expecting a new baby in early September. We are seeking a part-time nanny/ babysitter/ mother’s helper for the end of summer into the academic year to assist mostly with our two year old.

Duties including babysitting, providing an additional set of hands on outings to playgroups/library, light meal prep (snack, lunch, dinner), and general tidying up around the house (cleaning up toddler eating area after meals, tidying up toys at the end of play).

We are looking for a non-smoker who is up to date with vaccinations (including COVID, Tdap and flu when it becomes available in the fall) and has previous experience with toddlers. Both parents have the ability to work/be at home during the day and therefore can be relatively flexible in creating a schedule.

We can guarantee 12- 15 hours a week with the potential for increased hours during the week and on nights/weekends for weekend day dates/date-nights. Ideal schedule would be at least 2-3 days a week between the hours of 9:00AM- 6:00PM for at least 3-4 hour periods. 

Pay: $25/hour 

If interested in the position, please send an email to Ashley Dellinger at aldellinger@gmail.com with a little bit about yourself, work history and available work hours (again we are willing to be flexible for the right candidate). Thank you!

Position Description

Graduate Writing Consultants work one-to-one with both undergraduate and graduate students on a variety of writing activities.

We are also embedded in the Fulbright application process in early fall. Depending on interest and program need, consultants may also have opportunities to lead or help develop workshops, writing groups, writing retreats, or training for other writing consultants. Most Graduate Writing Consultants will work on the Medford campus, but SMFA students may apply to work on-site at the SMFA Fenway campus.

Our program emphasizes collaboration and process as crucial aspects of becoming a more engaged writer. Since our work is conversation-based, strong interpersonal skills are vital. We are looking for nonjudgmental, collaborative consultants who are good listeners and committed to writing and learning as process. Our approach is informed by feminist and anti-racist pedagogies, and our community values diversity in all forms, especially when related to identities such as race, gender, disability, nationality, and language that have historically been marginalized by language-based oppressions. We strongly encourage applications from students who identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, multiracial, or POC, students who are bilingual or multilingual, students from the LGBTQ+ community, and students who identify as a person with a disability.
