Hello, I’ll be going back to work from maternity leave in March and am looking into nanny options for my baby boy who will be 6 months at the time. I live in Cambridge and am looking for someone to come watch him at my house as my husband and I both work from home. Hours would be 9/10 AM - 3 PM Monday - Thursday with some flexibility and potentially lesser hours on Friday. Where I live is easily accessible by both car and public transit. Additional responsibilities may include light housework (laundry and vacuuming) and meal prep while baby sleeps. Please message me if interested.

Thank you!

The Castellanos Gtz Family

Cambridge$20/hr | 1 kid

I will be relocating from Mexico with my 3yo son to study a PhD starting in September 2022. I do not have a definite schedule and therefore, am still uncertain about the amount of time that I will need assistance to care for my son, as well as all of my options. I can anticipate that I will be needing assistance Monday through Friday and maybe some weekends. My son is shy and highly sensitive and responds well to a calm and affectionate temperament. I am also worried about the language barrier because he only speaks and understands Spanish and therefore, it would be very helpful to find someone that speaks English and at least basic Spanish. I would like for someone to spend a few hours a day with him to care for him and take him to activities with other children to help him socialize and learn the language. Thank you for your consideration!

Sonia is a little chatter box but needs time to warm up to new people. Once she's warmed up to you, you've got a buddy for life. She does like being outside and there are a couple of playgrounds within walking distance from our house. Ideally, she gets some time outside. She is a bit picky though when it comes to food sometimes! Ryan is our cute little meatball. He's a bit difficult to get down to sleep. However, we have a couple of tricks that help with that which involves having him in a carrier on your chest while he dozes off. If outside, he sometimes falls asleep while being in a stroller.

The days we'd like someone to work is Mon - Fri from 8 - 4 pm. We ask that the nanny feed Sonia (Ryan is still breastfeed and mother works from home), cleans up after they play, does some light laundry work with the kids clothing, spends time outside, and engages with our kids. We also hope that the nanny tries to adhere to a schedule as much as possible to avoid Ryan from becoming overtired. We do live on a 3rd floor walkup. Sonia is capable of walking down by herself. Ryan is pushing 17 lbs and Sonia is 27 lbs.

Hello Cambridge families. We are a young couple living in Harvard square. Our daughter is 5 months old and is really nice and smiley. We are looking for another family living at a walking distance from our place who wants to share a nanny starting around December 2018 from 8pm to 6pm 4 days a weeks. Ideally the other baby would be around the same age (range 3 months to 2 yo). Our apartment is small but we could host if needed. Please contact if interested.

Our son’s name is Aed - he is 1.5 years old. He is an absolute joy to be around. I realize every parent says that, be he truly is. He seems to have gotten the best of both of us. His favorite activity is reading. We frequently catch him sitting in his small comfy living room chair reading quietly by himself (or at least flipping through the pages) - its like a cute old man. When he’s not reading he’s usually running up and down the hall laughing and yelling “uh oh” (which was his first word).

Our family lifestyle is active. We are pretty frequently on the move and our schedules can get complicated. Both of our families live far away and so we are looking for some extra help to relax the pressure on our schedules.

Our son is in daycare - which we love and plan to continue. The daycare hours are 7:30am to 6pm - which seems like a lot, but my wife is a physician and when she is working she has to be at the hospital 7am - 8pm. If i am traveling it can be tough to coordinate his pickup / dropoff. We are looking for someone who wants to be a part of the family. Help with pickup/dropoff when we can’t, be on call when he is sick, and help with some of the house chores.

We plan to guarantee a certain number of hours, though we dont expect to actually use them every single week. Our biggest need, is some extra flexibility in our lives.

My wife is french and our preference would be someone that speaks spanish or french so that our son can continue to be exposed to other languages.

We are looking forward to meeting you and introducing you to our son.
