We had a great time at our 3rd Annual Bring Your Kid to Work Day in our San Francisco office, hosted by the Parents@ Affirm ERG. With over 30 kids ranging in age from 6 months to 14 years old, the day was packed with fun activities—from arts and crafts and story time to face painting, balloon twisting, a scavenger hunt, book exchange, and raffle prizes. Anne Uy Cutaran, Marketing Technology Manager, shared, “My daughter and I had such a great time at Bring Your Kid to Work Day! The thoughtful planning by the co-leads, the fun swag, and all the creative stations make it such an awesome event for kids of all ages. This is our second year attending, and my daughter looks forward to it every year—it’s truly a highlight for both of us.” Thanks to everyone who helped make this special day a success!
