Description

A family in Woodside is seeking an experienced Family Assistant to help with household tasks and taking care of their two children, ages 8 (girl) and 5.5 (boy) years old. Their daughter has ADHD and very active and needs someone to help moderate activities and find a balance between physical fun (running, swimming, outdoor play, trampoline, etc.) and calmer projects (arts and crafts, reading, etc.). Their son is easy going, loves to play Legos and be outside. Care for them includes picking them up after school and extra curriculars and engaging with them in a variety of play.

Household tasks include children’s laundry, light meal prep (school lunches and dinner) for the kids, light tidying and organization, running errands, etc. The family also has one cat that requires light care (changing the litterbox, feeding).

They’d love someone open to joining them occasionally at their second home in Carmel, especially during the summers for a 2-3 days at a time. Most importantly, they’d like to find someone who actively engages with children, is upbeat and and keep up with school-age kids, and is able to make a long term commitment (ideally a few years). Someone who takes initiative and works well autonomously will be the best fit.
