We are seeking someone who would be willing to drop our infant (10mo in March) off for daycare in the mornings. We are both school teachers, and unfortunately need to begin our commute before the daycare center is open!
Our son’s daycare is fairly close by, located on Mass Ave. It is a 3min drive from our home or a 12min stroller walk. We would have his things packed and ready to go, you would spend maybe 30-40 min with him to play, possibly change a diaper and/or feed a prepared bottle, and then drop him off by 8am. We have 4hr free parking on our street, and the 77 bus has frequent drops off at the end of our block.
No house duties included in this position- we want the hour to be as simple as possible! All his belongings will be prepared for the day, he will just need company for a little bit and safe arrival at his daycare.
Location: Arlington Center, near Town Hall
Hours: 6:45am – 8am, M-F
When: mid-March through mid-June
Pay: $20 – $25 per dropoff, will happily negotiate based upon experience
Looking for someone who is:
*experienced with infant care
*non-smoker
*responsible & consistent with arrival & drop off times
Please reach out to Diana at diana.galanakis@gmail.com if you are interested!
