Seeking Part-Time Household Help In Central Square (Cambridge)

Posted on by

Our family of two working parents and two toddlers is seeking part-time help with household management in Central Square.  We are offering 10 guaranteed hours over 2-4 days at $30 / hour.  Must be on the books.  We are very flexible on the number of days/timing of shifts—e.g., mornings, afternoons, or a mix of both, whichever you prefer.  We are looking for help with household tasks including:

  • Laundry
  • Meal prep
  • Tidying up (i.e., light cleaning)
  • Running neighborhood errands (grocery shopping, dry cleaning, etc.)

We live a 2-minute walk from the Central Square T stop on the Red Line.  No car is needed, but street parking (using our visitor parking pass) is available.  You must be comfortable with dogs; we have a large dog who you will not need to care for, but who will be home during the day.  

If you’re interested, please email me at meghanccleary@gmail.com and we can set up a time to chat.  Thank you!
