Babysitter Needed [Somerville]

Description: We are looking for occasional sitters for our 9yo son near Teele Square. Most opportunities will be evenings, but potential daytime hours (he is homeschooled) as well. Evening duties would require supervising dinner and a relatively independent bedtime. Daytime duties might involve walking/transit to library or other activities. No car is needed. 

Someone able to engage in Minecraft and D&D play and conversation would be welcome, but not necessary! 

He has multiple allergies and sitter would need to be comfortable being trained on emergency EpiPen and inhaler use, although this is exceptionally unlikely.

Babysitter Needed [Somerville]

Description: I am looking for a female undergrad or grad student who’d like to hang out with my 10 year old daughter after school for TUESDAYS from 5pm to 8pm and pay is $20/hr ($60 total). My daughter is a 5th grader at East Somerville Community School. She is in the bilingual Spanish program, plays flute, loves painting and reading. A perfect candidate would speak Spanish and be willing to do some light Spanish and math homework help.

Job would require after school pick up between 4:45 and 5pm and a short walk to our place. I’ll prepare dinner (you’re welcome to bring your own too). We have a small dog who is cuddly and playful but sheds so if you have allergies, it won’t be a good fit.

About me: I’m a single parent who works full time in yoga and massage. If it’s a good fit, there could be more hours available. On Tuesdays, I have a continuing ed class I am committed to so I won’t be home during this shift.

I have free parking and am about a 7 min walk from the East Somerville stop on the green line. Please have 2 references if applying. If interested, contact eksullivan@gmail.com.

Part time morning care needed [Ball Square, Somerville]

Posted on by

We’re looking for a part time babysitter to help with kid drop offs 2 or 3 mornings per week in Somerville, near the ball sq T stop. Kids are 2.5yrs & almost 5.

Responsibilities::

– Set up car seats / vests

– Arrive at 7:30

– Leave between 7:45-7:55 AM

– Drop off kid 1 at 8:15 AM in East Somerville (you’d have to take both kids out of the car & walk back)

– Drop off kid 2 at 8:30-8:40 AMish in Porter Sq (usually only takes about 15 mins but added buffer in case late)

Total distance here would be just under 5 miles driving

Rate: Approximately $30/hr + additional buffer to account for traffic and any time needed to set up car. If you would like to pick up a little more time per day. Happy to share more details on this by email. Scheduled weeks would match Somerville school calendar.

Note: It is possible that you may be able to do this by public transit, but there’s a decent amount of walking and the bus schedule is somewhat irregular. If this is something you would be interested in but you don’t have a car, please message me. The 2nd child just needs to be dropped off by 9:30 AM so it’s definitely possible.

Please email Rosa at soy.bbang@gmail.com if this might work for you!
