I have worked on and off as a babysitter and nanny since I was in high school (some 20 years of experience). I have extensive experience with children from toddlerhood through high school age. I engage in activities such as sports, swimming, music and arts and crafts. I have a teaching license in middle and high school English and have worked as a substitute teacher for grades Pre-K through 12. I have subbed and instructed through the Lexington and Arlington public school system. I am ideally looking for a position 2-3 afternoons for 10-15 hours/week. I do have a car, but it is old and high in mileage, and as such I am looking for a position where I won't need it too often, preferably in Arlington or somewhere nearby accessible by the 77 or 87 bus line. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT. I am still getting a lot Read more of msgs for potential jobs that would require a car and are several miles away). I am also available for some per diem or occasional care, such as date nights, etc. (for these I can be more flexible for using my car in surrounding towns like Lexington, Belmont, Winchester, Medford, etc).
