How to find a reduced rent renter in exchange for help with pre-teen homework

Hi

any suggestions on how to find trustworthy live in help with 11 yr old? I’m looking for someone who’ll pay partial rent and help with preteen some of time. We’ve had one negative experience so would like to post carefully (not craigslist). Any ideas most welcome, thank you.

Try going to CalRentals (the website) in order to find a Cal student who could help.

I have had great success with care.com -- but check references carefully, and make sure your expectations are reasonable.  Also try the UC housing department. An older  student may be a good fit for you. Good luck.

You might consider posting on any local college bulletin boards (probably online nowadays). Also, I’ve found that Nextdoor.com is a fairly good resource since only people in your town/neighbourhood will be able to see your post so a bit safer, imo.
