Babysitting Preschooler (Somerville and Cambridge)

Job Description: I am looking for afternoon care for my 4-year-old son, Gus. You’d pick him up at his preschool in Harvard Square and then bring him home or explore the city together (no housework or meal prep required). We live near Aeronaut Brewing in Somerville, which is walking distance from his school and an easy bus ride from Tufts. 

Us: Gus is adventurous, friendly, creative, has an incredible zest for life, and is a ton of fun. He loves playgrounds, ice cream, dinosaurs, telling jokes, T-rides, and making new friends. I’m a solo mom who taught preschool for 20 years and now runs a preschool (the one that Gus goes to).  

You: Someone who enjoys the company of preschoolers, warm and kind with an adventurous spirit. Gus is a little extra vibrant and more active than your average preschooler (I’ve got strategies in place and I’m happy to tell you more), so a background in child development and/or experience babysitting would come in handy (though isn’t necessary). 

Required hours: Tuesday 3-6 and Wednesday 3-6. 

Additional hours that would be wonderful: Monday 12-3, Tuesday 12-3, Wednesday 12-3, and Friday 12-3. Monday 7pm-8pm. 

Pay: $23+ based on experience. Guaranteed hours, paid time off, sick days. 

Start date: ASAP, through the rest of the semester, and hopefully next semester (and next year), too.
Location: Harvard Square and Spring Hill
