Family and Household Dynamics

A peek behind the front door...

Children's Ages: Care will be for three children, 7,5 and 2 years old.

About the Children

This family has three bright, active, and fun-loving children, ages 7, 5, and 2! Their oldest is a creative and outgoing second grader who loves art, dress-up, soccer, and spending time with friends. Their 5-year-old is an active kindergartener who enjoys all things sports, building LEGOS, coloring, and independent play. Their youngest is a curious and busy 2-year-old who loves books, trips to the park, and keeping up with her older siblings. All three children attend school or daycare full-time during the week. The family values active, engaging childcare and is looking for someone who will encourage outdoor play, creativity, reading, and hands-on activities while limiting screen time.

About the Family

• This is a busy, loving household with two full-time working parents. The mother will be working outside the country for approximately six months, during which time the father will be managing the children's daily routines with support from extended family and their new Family Assistant.
• Dad works from home and is looking for a dependable, proactive professional who can help keep afternoons and evenings running smoothly. The ideal arrangement will feel like a partnership, with the Family Assistant and dad working together to support the children, manage responsibilities, and navigate the busy after-school and bedtime hours.

About the Pets

• The family has one sweet, hypoallergenic dog who can be vocal. Occasional assistance with letting the dog outside, taking her for walks, or transporting her to veterinary appointments will be appreciated.

Additional Notes

• Dad works from home and will be actively involved in the children's evening routines. Extended family will also provide support while mom is away. The Family Assistant should be comfortable working collaboratively with an involved parent and adapting to the household's needs.

Key Responsibilities

Standard Duties:

• All standard Family Assistant duties, including attentive childcare for three children, school and daycare pickups, transportation to activities, homework assistance, meal preparation, household organization, errands, laundry, dishes, and general support to keep the family's daily routines running smoothly. The Family Assistant will help with homework support each afternoon, particularly with second-grade reading and writing, and encourage engaging, screen-free activities such as outdoor play, trips to the park, sports, reading, and creative projects. Additional responsibilities include assisting with evening meals, light cooking, and coordinating meal deliveries, with the option to join the family for dinner Monday through Thursday. The Family Assistant will work closely with dad during the evening and bedtime routines, typically helping the two older children while dad puts the youngest to bed. Flexibility with scheduling, including earlier hours on school holidays and occasional Saturday (once a month for a few hours in the morning) support, is important.

Travel Requirements:

• NO travel or overnights are required.
