swap childcare for large BR w/ private entrance (footsteps to campus)

Single, professional mom seeking help with kids/home in exchange for rent. Room available in College Terrace house half a block from Stanford. I have two kids (3 and 11) and a busy full time job!

This could be a great opportunity for a student or professional who works in the area. Females only, please. We can only take an individual (no couples, families, friends) - sorry! While the room is large, the hallway to get to the semi-private bathroom is shared.

Offering:

• Beautiful, light and spacious master bedroom (13'x14') w/ side office (5x5')
• Private entrance
• Semi private brick patio with garden
• Semi private bathroom
• Large closets
• Access to laundry and kitchen
• Quiet location: room is next to a public park
• Some built-in furniture (dresser, desk)

What kind of swap am I looking for? Trade of approx. 25 hours/wk of childcare, including:

• Help with the kids most weekday mornings (7-8 am ish)
• Pick up 3 yr old from day care two blocks away (5-6 pm ish)
• Some driving to and from sports activities (5-7 pm ish)
• Reading and help with homework
• Grocery shopping/cooking dinner
• Occasional evening/weekend childcare
• Ideal, but not required, around home when my son gets out of school (3 pm)

I can be flexible about exact schedule and can tradeoff certain days to help accommodate classes or other activity.

Want someone who has significant childcare experience and ideally has experience with learning differences. Required: good references and background check. Mainly, we are looking for the right fit with our family! We are very excited to have some extra energy in the house.

When? Open now. Would suggest a trial month.

Interested? Let's talk! Please reply with background info about why you would be a good fit for this arrangement.
