Cuddler

Platonic touch support in a premium coworking & nervous-system wellness space.

Part-timeOn-site · SF$25–$40/hr

Comen is hiring its first Cuddlers: calm, consent-forward, platonic presence for members during the workday—professional handling of proximity and chemistry, zero ambiguity about what this job is not.

Overview

About the role

You'll provide structured, platonic physical support alongside members who are working or decompressing—a grounded presence, clear consent, boundaries held as carefully as you hold space. Not therapy, not romance. Regulated nervous system energy in a staffed, hospitality-grade lounge.

  • Provide consensual platonic cuddling, grounding hugs, and calm physical presence within Comen protocols
  • Sit with members during focused work blocks; help them settle in before, during, and after sessions
  • Maintain clear emotional and physical boundaries; keep closeness professional and unambiguous
  • Follow consent, hygiene, safety, and escalation procedures at all times
  • Contribute to a warm lounge environment without centering yourself in members’ experience

Profile

You may be a fit if

  • Warm presence, polished communication, excellent boundaries
  • Socially fluent; comfortable reading a room and body language
  • At ease with platonic touch and proximity in a regulated, staffed setting
  • Calm when things get awkward—no need to fill every silence
  • Reliable part-time availability in or near SF; students and recent grads welcome
  • Background in hospitality, wellness, caregiving, fitness, theater, or service is a plus

Reality check

Probably not a fit if

  • You flirt, chase chemistry, or treat charged moments like an opening
  • You confuse warmth with romantic or sexual availability
  • Physical closeness tends to become about you, not the member’s safety
  • You resist consent protocols or think “platonic” is negotiable
  • You cannot stay regulated in emotionally intimate, professional contexts

Requirements

Baseline

  • 18+; based in or near San Francisco; part-time availability
  • Comfortable with structured, consensual platonic touch after training
  • Strong communicator; excellent hygiene and presentation
  • Complete consent/safety onboarding; clear background and reference checks

Compensation

Pay & trajectory

  • $25–$40/hr depending on experience
  • Flexible shifts; paid onboarding and consent training
  • Room to grow into lead Cuddler or community host roles at the first location

Yes, this is a real job. Yes, people will ask what you mean.

Safety

Consent & operations

  • Sessions are opt-in with defined physical and professional limits
  • Staff visibility, hygiene standards, member conduct policies, documented escalation paths
  • Cuddlers are trained to ask, pause, redirect, and end sessions when needed
  • Platonic means platonic—no exceptions, no “vibe shifted” rewrites
