Watertown Odd Jobs

Hi! I'm looking for an enthusiastic and independent person to help me out for 2-3 hours one evening per week. The day of week and the hours are flexible. Typical tasks will include grocery shopping, house cleaning, short errands, and organizing. The pay is $15 to $20 per hour. I'm in East Watertown, near the borders of Cambridge and Belmont, steps from 2 bus lines. You do not need your own cleaning supplies or transportation (errands would all be within walking distance). Ideally, you could start right away. Thanks! ~Matthew

Hi! My husband and I are expecting our first baby in April and we currently have two corgis. We are looking for someone who is able to come for 3 to 4 hours every day Monday thru Friday to do some laundry (especially with the new baby on the way!), a few cleaning tasks each day (we can give you the weekly list of what needs to be accomplished and you can manage your time each day to get the list done by Friday), and walk our dogs. Occasional errands or food prep may be needed, too, so the right person ideally has their own transportation.

Briefly, I'm looking for someone savvy with online marketplaces such as social media, classified ads, and E-commerce company to help me declutter.

Hello, We need a babysitter for our 8-year-old child in Watertown. This would be for the week of 7/20 and then starting again the week of 8/3. Days and hours may vary but we are looking for about 24-30 hours on weekdays. We have a hypoallergenic cat, but you would mainly be taking the child to outdoor spaces, doing light meal prep, and errands. Possibility for second child / friend, while earning extra fee. Thank you, Bethany

With two demanding jobs + two young children, my husband and I are in need of help to keep our household running. Essentially we don't have a lot of time together and we want to spend more of it enjoying our family and less of it being bogged down with errand-running, meal-planning, shopping, organizing and other house-related tasks. Our ideal candidate has your own transportation and you're a non-smoker. You're pro-active, able to learn our styles and taste to provide options for purchases and you'll have ideas for organizing the input and output of our stuff. Bonus if you have nanny/babysitting experience and would be willing to help with the kiddos in a pinch.

I am a single father who lives with a 7-year-old daughter. I am looking for a nanny who can work Mondays through Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The ideal candidate will have experience with school-aged children, keep a child active during the Summer and have FUN; and help with homework and extracurricular activities during school time. This is a full time job, and it is expected that the ideal candidate be able to: (1) grocery shop and cook for self and a child; (2) perform basic laundry for child, (3) drive back and forth from their home to Watertown, MA, and from my residence to run child's errands / activities, such as gymnastics, school, etc... (own transportation is required.) Compensation will be commensurate with flexibility, experience, and commitment.
