    Pros

    Flexible hours that you get to schedule on your own with the family and great networking opportunity as well. They are all over the Bay Area so travel time is up to you to decide as well.

    Cons

    Can be a hit-or-miss on how well you click with the student/parents, but that is no fault of the management. Just a part of the job when working with different families.
