School Garden Volunteer (Somerville)

Posted on by

We have an exciting opportunity for Tufts students interested in outdoor education and teaching K-12 students about growing food and tending to the environment.

Groundwork Somerville is an urban agriculture non-profit that maintains Somerville’s only urban farm and all of the school gardens across Somerville. Our mission is to build a greener, healthier, more equitable and climate-resilient Somerville. This fall, we are looking for college students/young adults who are interested in consistently volunteering during school garden lessons (2 hours a week). Once a week, school garden volunteers would support the School Garden Teacher in garden lesson activities and engage with students from the grades of Pre-K to 8th grade as they learn about the environment in their school garden. No experience or preparation is needed!

Please fill out this form if you are interested and feel free to email Tufts alumna and Youth Program Manager Kenzie Ballard at kenzie@groundworksomerville.org if you have any questions or for more information. We are looking forward to connecting with you. 🙂

After-School Childcare for Kindergartener (Davis Square, Somerville)

Posted on by

Our Davis Square family of four is looking for some part-time, weekday, after-school childcare help for our loving, active, articulate, and creative 5-year-old kindergartener.

We’re hoping to find someone, or two people, interested in 5–10 hours/week, who would care for and play with our little guy from school pickup in Porter Square at 2:35pm until about 5 or 6pm a few days a week (ideally Tuesday, Thursday and Friday).

We imagine this could be the perfect opportunity for a college or graduate student — in particular someone studying or otherwise interested in early-childhood education.

There’s also the possibility of continuing with slightly different hours during the spring semester and perhaps even the summer, as well as weekend and nighttime sitting.

Compensation could be $20-22/hour depending on experience. 

Having a car isn’t a requirement, because school is walkable (or a direct bus or T trip) to our house, but someone with a car would be a bonus. 

We look forward to hearing from you. If interested, please contact Andrew at andrew.sessa@gmail.com

Summer babysitting (Winter Hill)

Posted on by

We are looking for some help this summer babysitting our bright, sweet 4-year-old son with autism. We need help 3 afternoons per week, 1:00 PM-5:00 PM, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. $20-25/hour.

He will be in summer school for several weeks and coming home on the bus. I work from home most days but If I’m not home, you would have to meet him at the bus right outside our house.

During the time you’re with him, you’ll just need to give him some snacks and play. He loves puzzles, cars, and playing with water. We’re working on potty training but he uses pull-ups and may need a change. We have outdoor space for playing and are near lots of parks and playgrounds.

We are located in Winter Hill in Somerville, close to bus lines and the Green Line. If you drive, we have a driveway with room for your car and also parking passes for street parking. We have one pet in the house, a grumpy cat who will most likely leave you alone.

Please email me at cmkopka@gmail.com if you are interested, and have references available.
