    Childcare help during summer (Somerville)

    Hello and happy almost summer!

    We are looking for a babysitter this summer who is responsible and great with both babies and little kids for our two boys (ages 4 and 1!) for Wednesdays during the day (and possibly also Monday/ Tuesday/ Thursday afternoons!)  We live right near Powder House Park in Somerville very close to Tufts. Responsibilities include: helping get them dressed and ready for the day, changing (the baby’s) diapers, feeding them lunch/ snacks, taking them on walks and to the library or playground, etc. Both boys go to daycare/ preschool part-time and my 4 yr old will be starting full time pre-K in September. We are somewhat flexible with the hours but ideally looking for someone who could work every Wednesday from around 9-4, and also possibly Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Occasional hours on Mondays (or Fridays) could also help, depending on your availability!

    My older turned 4 in March and is very talkative and imaginative. He loves books and legos and playgrounds! My younger turned 1 in February and is crawling like a madman and getting into all sorts of mischief. Both are silly and fun (and occasionally a handful as all little kids are!)

    Pay is $25/ hour. Looking for someone who has some experience caring for babies and kids and can start as soon as possible. Please reach out to me if you’re interested! 
    Thank you!
