After school child care

Part time child care and light housework for a cheerful, loving 8 year old in East

Arlington.

Responsibilities:

Pick up from school and short walk home

Taking child to activities (circus, dance, music), local playgrounds, supervising playdates

Prepare snack (daily) and dinner (usually 3x week) for child

Occasionally taking child to PT/OT and other appointments (typically

2x/month)

Managing child laundry; occasionally switching household laundry such as

sheets/towels

Tidying up after activities; tidying child’s bedroom and play room (including

child in clean up)

Comfort with administering nasal spray seizure rescue medicine (seizures

occur very infrequently)

Having a license is required; having your own vehicle is a plus. Experience with

child PT and OT is a plus; comfort working with and supporting a child who has a

physical disability is a requirement.

Schedule:

At a minimum need someone 2:30-5:30 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday and

from 1-5:30 on Wednesday (totaling 13.5 hours); additional hours, including Friday,

are available up to around 20 hours a week; at the high end that would include time

before school is out and some additional (still light) housework responsibilities.

Additional hours may be available during school vacations if desired, but would

never be required.

Benefits:

$25-30/hour commensurate with experience; payroll is handled through a

third party provider to manage deductions and taxes

3 weeks of PTO prorated to typical schedule

We pay for any typically scheduled days when we don’t need child care

All federal holidays

Other:

We have two cats

Both parents work from home 3-4 days a week and would be available in the

event of an emergency. We really like popping out of our offices to say hi to

our child when we are taking a break, but prefer that child initiated

interruptions are kept to a minimum
