We’re a kind-hearted and busy family with three young children—two boys (ages 5 and 4) and toddler daughter (18 months), and a sweet Black Lab —and we’re looking for a dependable, energetic, and warm Family Assistant to join our team. The boys are in school full-time, and our daughter will be starting half-day Montessori in the fall.
Mom works part-time from home and is very hands-on with the kids, but could use an extra set of capable, proactive hands in the afternoons and occasionally on evenings or weekends. The ideal person for this role is someone who truly enjoys being around children, brings calm and positive energy into the home, and is equally comfortable jumping into household tasks as they are chasing after two playful boys in the backyard.
What You’ll Do:
Responsibilities Include:
Engaging in active, hands-on play with our two playful boys
Helping care for our toddler when mom’s with the older kids
Light housekeeping—tidying up, kids’ laundry, prepping snacks
Running errands like groceries, returns, and post office trips
Being warm, responsive, and ready to travel with us occasionally
You’re a Great Fit If You’re:
Energetic, quick on your feet, and love working with kids
A self-starter who sees what needs doing and gets it done
Warm, calm, and affectionate—but also efficient and dependable
Comfortable around dogs and happy to be in a pet-friendly home
Someone who brings positive energy and wants to feel like part of the family
Dependable, responsible, trustworthy, and punctual
