Meet the Founders
CO-FOUNDER
Yael Karchmer
With over 20 years of experience as a pediatric dentist, including a decade spent at a community clinic in San Francisco for low income families in the Mission District, Yael brings her nurturing and caring nature to everything she does.
She loves creativity, cooking and fitness. Both of her children got their college degrees out of state, so she understands how important it is for parents to ensure that their kids have a local support system, despite being 2,000 miles away.
Yael is fluent in English and Spanish.
CO-FOUNDER
Paula Zamenfeld
Originally from Argentina. Paula worked as a pediatrician before relocating to Silicon Valley due to her husband's job.
She has a passion for travel, cooking and spending time with friends and family. Her love for helping others inspired her to create “College Aunties”. With her son heading to college soon, Paula can also appreciate the value of providing your child with someone to rely on locally.
Paula is fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, allowing her to connect with a diverse range of families.
