ABOUT THE FAMILY

A warm, active family in Vienna, Virginia is seeking an experienced and dependable Family Assistant to help manage the day-to-day care of their home while also providing afternoon support for their three boys, ages 10, 8, and 5.

This is a true hybrid Family Assistant position combining professional household responsibilities with afternoon childcare and family support.

From approximately 10:00 AM-3:00 PM, the Family Assistant will focus primarily on housekeeping, laundry, organization, light food preparation, and maintaining the home. Beginning around 3:00-3:30 PM, the role will transition as needed to helping with the children, carpools, activities, meals, and the family’s afternoon routine.

The family utilizes a monthly deep-cleaning service, allowing the Family Assistant to focus on maintaining the home consistently throughout the week rather than being responsible for intensive deep cleaning.

The ideal candidate will genuinely enjoy both aspects of the position and be comfortable transitioning from independently managing household responsibilities during the day to being an engaged, dependable presence for the children in the afternoon.

HOUSEHOLD RESPONSIBILITIES | APPROXIMATELY 10:00 AM-3:00 PM

• Complete regular housekeeping and maintain the home to a consistently high standard
• Clean and maintain bathrooms, bedrooms, common areas, kitchen areas, and frequently used floors
• Maintain kitchen surfaces and appliances and reset the kitchen as needed
• Manage household laundry, linens, ironing, steaming, folding, and garment care
• Change and launder bed linens on an appropriate schedule
• Maintain organization of closets, cabinets, drawers, pantry areas, linen closets, and household storage
• Manage trash and recycling
• Monitor household supplies and communicate when items need replenishing
• Wash, clean, and cut fresh fruits and vegetables to keep readily available for the family
• Prepare simple snacks and assist with light food preparation
• Assist with meals the mother has already prepared or started, such as monitoring something simmering on the stove, finishing simple meal components, or removing prepared food from the oven at the appropriate time
• Complete household organization projects as time allows
• Assist with cleanup following household maintenance, deliveries, and service providers
• Proactively notice and address household needs without requiring constant direction

AFTERNOON FAMILY ASSISTANCE | APPROXIMATELY 3:00-6:00 PM

As the children return from school, the focus of the position will transition toward supporting the family and the children’s afternoon schedules.

Responsibilities may include:

• Pick up children from school or bus stops as needed
• Drive children to and from extracurricular activities and carpools
• Be present with the children when a parent is unavailable
• Prepare and serve fresh after-school snacks or assist with dinner
• Provide general supervision and ensure the children are safe and cared for
• Help keep backpacks, belongings, and afternoon routines organized
• Assist with changing transportation and scheduling needs
• Help keep the household running smoothly through the busy afternoon hours

This is not a traditional nanny position. The children are increasingly independent, and the childcare component is primarily focused on transportation, meals, supervision, and providing a responsible and caring adult presence when needed.

Occasional flexibility to arrive earlier or stay later would be appreciated when a parent is traveling or the children’s schedules require additional assistance. Occasional evening babysitting may also be available if mutually desired.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate is an experienced household professional who genuinely enjoys both maintaining a home and working with children. This person should take pride in keeping a home clean, organized, and running smoothly while also having the warmth, patience, and personality to become a trusted presence in the family’s daily life.

The right candidate will be:

• Experienced in professional private-home housekeeping
• Meticulous, organized, efficient, and proactive
• Skilled in laundry, ironing, steaming, and garment care
• Comfortable with light food preparation and assisting with simple meal needs
• Kind, patient, trustworthy, and dependable
• Experienced and comfortable with school-aged children
• A safe and confident driver
• Comfortable managing carpools and children’s activities
• Able to prioritize responsibilities and manage time independently
• Comfortable taking direction while also taking ownership of household needs
• Able to transition easily between independent household work and interacting with the children
• Flexible when the family’s schedule changes
• Professional, discreet, and respectful of the family’s privacy
• Interested in a long‑term position and becoming a trusted part of the household
