Pasadena, California

We're so glad you're applying.

We're Robb and Lorena. We both work from home in Pasadena while raising Linux: he's three, endlessly curious, and a lot of fun. We treat caregiving like the profession it is — fair pay, clear hours, and a family that communicates.

This application is a few short pages about you, your experience, and what you're comfortable with. Your answers save on your phone as you go, so you can pause anytime.
