How it works

From your first message to your child's first day

Four steps, in the order Anita describes them. No waiting lists, no application fee, no pressure at any point.

  1. Message, text or call

    Use the form on this site, or call or text 202-430-8416 directly. Tell her your child's age, the days and hours you'd need, and anything you're wondering about. Anita reads it herself — there is no office in between.

  2. A phone introduction

    This is the step she asks for by name: "please message me if you'd like to set up a phone introduction." It's a conversation, not a screening. Bring your questions — she has said she'd love to answer all of them, and it's easier to ask some of them on the phone than standing in someone's hallway.

  3. Come and see the house

    In-home care is chosen in person. You come to Stone Ridge, meet GaGa, see where the children actually spend the day, and get a feel for whether your child would be happy there. Bring your child — how they are in the room tells you more than anything on this website.

  4. Days and a start date

    By this point you've met her and seen the house, so it's a question of which days you need and when you'd like to start. Ask her about cost directly — she'll tell you.

What we don't do

  • No waiting-list games. Three places; either one is free or it isn't, and she'll tell you which.
  • No pressure to decide on the day. Go home and think about it.
