Description

Hello, we are a friendly family of 3 in Palo Alto (off campus) looking for a mother's helper to spend time with our sweet 2.5 year-old daughter. I work for Stanford School of Medicine and my wife for a tech company.

What we are looking for:

Schedule: 2 potential arrangements (depending on availability):
-Occasional/ad hoc shifts: 2-3 hours at a day, 3-4 days a week, ideally weekday evenings (~6-8 pm) but we are flexible. We would also like to have some occasional help/support during the weekend (afternoons or early evenings ~5-8 pm)
-Regular weekly schedule: ~5:30-8 pm, Monday through Thursday

Responsibilities: tidying up toys, folding laundry, simple dishes, and light cleaning. Some household organizing and some time playing with our daughter.

Location: we are in Palo Alto, close to Mitchell Park

If things are a good fit, we'd also love to explore future interest in helping with school pickups and drop-offs

Pay Rate: $25/hour (negotiable based on experience)

Location

600 E Meadow Dr, Palo Alto, CA 94303, USA

4.9 km from Stanford University
