Description

A family in Monte Sereno is seeking a positive, animal-friendly Family Assistant to help with childcare and household logistics. Their girls are 10 and 13 years old and involved in a variety of afterschool activities (horseback riding, music lessons, fencing, competitive cheerleading, etc.). Responsibilities include driving, running errands, scheduling appointments, tidying, family laundry, meal prep/cooking, and ideally helping with pet care.

They are open to a PT or FT schedule. If PT the hours need to be at minimum Mon-Fri 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. If FT they can go up to 40 hours (Mon-Fri 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) but are open to somewhere in between as well. They would love if this person has flexibility to do longer days when the girls are home from school.

They are looking for at least a year commitment, but this would be a great opportunity for someone looking for long term as they foresee needing help for at least the next 5 years. Ultimately the best person for them is a self-starter, active, outgoing and a great communicator.
