Like kids? Live rent-free on campus!

We are a faculty family living on campus looking for a Stanford affiliate who would like to take care of our kids for about 12 hours a week in exchange for free rent.
Ideally, you'd be free from around 2 - 5:30pm on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons,
and occasionally for a few hours on weekends.
You'd get to live for free in a furnished private room with private entrance and bathroom on our property,
located just a few blocks from Munger and a few minutes' walk from Tressider Union on a beautiful and quiet street.
You'd have a private small fridge and hotplate and/or microwave, and can share our large kitchen and washer/dryer when needed.

We have three kids: two boys (8 and 4 years old) and one girl (2 years old).
Three afternoons a week (MWF), you'd be responsible for
welcoming the 8yo home from school (he bikes back himself),
getting both kids up from their naps, making a snack,
and taking the kids out to their karate lessons or for a playground excursion.
You'd also be welcome join us for dinner a few nights a week if you'd like,
sharing cooking and dishwashing duty.

Details:

• live rent-free on campus with private room, private entrance, and private bathroom.
• take care of 3 kids ages 2yo, 4yo, and 8yo for about 12 hours per week
• optionally join family dinners
• January 2027 through at least end of spring quarter 2027 (longer is better)

Couples are also ok if one of you is primary; but we'd need to interview both. (Also note the room is quite small!)

If you're interested, tell us about yourself:

• what's your role at Stanford?
• what's your experience with kids? would you be comfortable caring for three kids at a time?
• what would your ideal hours be? do you have constraints we should know about?
• what's your ideal start and end date?
• what's your favorite kid activity?
• if a four year old asked you, while walking along a residential street, "what's under the ground?", how would you respond?
• how hot is too hot for you to play outside? how cold is too cold? do you like splashing in puddles?
• name some blocks of time (8-9, 10:30-12:30 or 3:30-5:30 work best) on an upcoming weekend when you'd be free to meet.
