Childcare/Babysitting Location Cambridge (near Harvard Sq and Inman Sq)

Job Description

We are looking for occasional babysitting for our 1yo and 3yo, primarily on weekends and weeknight evenings. Periodically, when our daytime nanny calls out sick or takes vacation time, we may also ask for weekday support, but that is not a requirement and we welcome candidates with a range of availability. 

Our children are joyful and share a love for construction vehicles, garbage trucks, time spent outdoors, and adventures around the neighborhood. That said, almost always, we will be asking for babysitting help once both children are in bed for the night.

Strong candidates are very comfortable caring for infants and toddlers, including soothing them if they unexpectedly wake up upset after a few hours of being asleep. This doesn’t happen often with our kids, but it’s a comfort to know that if it does, the babysitter is able to respond. We also seek candidates who are reliable and have good communication skills.

We live walking distance from both Harvard and Inman Sq. Pay is $25/hr for evening care when the kids are in bed. Should you step in for occasional daytime care while the kids are up and about, we are happy to offer $30/hr.

We typically need help 1-4 evenings per month + occasional weekend afternoons and/or weekdays depending on circumstances. 

Reach out if you’re interested or have questions!

We are in need of an experienced, kind, warm, attentive, and flexible babysitter for occasional afternoons and evenings, perhaps 1-3x per month. You would be caring for two highly energetic, fun-loving, and friendly kids ages 5 and 7. 

Evening shifts might be on a Tuesday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday. (We have a specific need upcoming on Sunday, March 10). A typical shift would entail:

-Arrive at around 5pm
-Prepare and serve a simple dinner (warm up something pre-made, no major cooking skills required)
-Help the children clean up after the meal
-Play games or watch a movie until bedtime (there's a private fenced back yard)
-Help them get ready for and tucked into bed

Another possibility is a shorter afternoon shift with only one of the children. We would need you to:

-Pick the kid up at either school (3pm) or the bus stop (2:50pm) and bring them home or to the park. It's walking distance, so there's no driving required.
-Serve an afternoon snack
-Play with them for 1-2 hours until Mom gets home (Dad would be working from home in a closed office)

Pay is $25/hr for 2 kids or $20/hr for 1
