Planning to stay for Senior Week and Commencement, but want free housing and something to do? The Reunion babysitter application is now available to undergraduates who wish to hang around after exams and make a little extra cash. Although the HAA offers a number of different temporary commencement jobs, the babysitting position is one of the more flexible options, allowing students to choose preferred age groups and hours.
Julia G. Mason '13, who babysat at Reunions last year, enjoyed working with the six to eight year-olds who were under her care in the "Grape Group." For Mason, exploring Cambridge in the summer without the stress of schoolwork was especially exciting.
According to Mason, reunion babysitting, at the rate of $11 an hour, offers a great opportunity to experience Commencement before donning the cap and gown yourself.
