About Pietas

Named for the Roman virtue of care for family.

Pietas meant duty and devotion to the people who depend on you. We built the service around one idea from the first book of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations: everyone we become, we learn from someone.

“From my mother, piety and beneficence, and abstinence, not only from evil deeds, but even from evil thoughts.”
Marcus Aurelius · Meditations I.3 · trans. George Long, 1862

Seneca put it in five words: “men learn while they teach” (Moral Letters 7.8, trans. Gummere, 1917). We look for carers and tutors who still feel that way.

IWho we are

Pietas, built on Vertical Reef

Pietas (draft brand) is a new childcare and tutoring service based in Fulham, London. Finding good childcare and tutoring takes too much searching, phoning and paperwork. Our software does that work, and people stay in charge of every decision about safety.
