Off-Campus Jobs
Babysitter/Petsitter
I’m a current Swarthmore student on-campus for most of June and July. I’d love to help locals with babysitting or petsitting as needed. I love working with kids; last summer I was a camp counselor for kids aged 5-11 at a tennis clinic, and I also helped similarly aged kids with sewing at a Fashion Camp. I’m a big fan of creative activities and engaging off-screen. At home I have two cats and a dog, and I love animals, so I’d also love to petsit if needed! I’m relatively flexible in terms of availability.
Yardwork very close to campus
Looking for help with yardwork (weeding, etc) and housework (decluttering/organizing) very close to campus. Hours are flexible.
Dogsitting in August
We are looking for a responsible, dog-loving student or alumnus/a to stay in our house and take care of our very sweet two year old black lab. Willingness to go on three 30-minute walks a day in our immediate neighborhood (Swarthmore/Ridley) plus some supervised play sessions in back yard is a must. We also have three goldfish to feed every day.
Dates are not set in stone yet, but we are thinking 10 days in the middle of August. Central air, great Wifi in walking and/or biking distance from campus (5 car minutes).
Please email me if you are interested.
Tutor/Tennis instructor
Hi, I’m a rising junior at Swat hoping to work with kids in some capacity this summer. I’m studying English Lit and Philosophy, and for the past two years I played on the Swat tennis team. I’d love to teach kids tennis or hit with anyone at any level. I’d also love to help high schoolers with college essay writing or kids of any age with writing or reading comprehension. I’ll be in Swarthmore during June and July, and I can tutor online from May to September.
Yard Work
Looking for assistance doing some yard work in a home close to campus. Please reach out to coordinate.
