I am looking for a summer babysitter for my kids, who will be 9 and 11 this summer. I'm looking for specific days and times -- Wed and Friday (and possibly some Mondays) from the week of June 26th through the week of July 24th (5 weeks). From 7:30 am to 4 pm.
Responsibilities will include taking the kids to swim practice and doing whatever they want for the rest of the day -- staying at the pool, mini-golf, movies, hanging at home, whatever. I definitely need a responsible driver. This would be a great job for a student who is taking classes this summer and doesn't want to work too much, or someone who isn't going to be in town for the whole summer. Please email [email protected] to set up an interview. Thank you! Thanks!

This program brings undergraduate researchers from across departments together in apartment-style dorms with resident assistants to facilitate community building, manage housing, and provide programming. A Summer Seminar Series is provided for all students to help prepare for graduate education and research careers. Applications are due via email by March 20, 2017.
