A busy and welcoming Arlington family is searching for a proactive Family Assistant to help keep their household running smoothly while supporting their two children, ages 12 and 11. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys taking initiative and creating organized, stress-free routines for a busy family. Responsibilities include grocery shopping, meal planning, preparing healthy dinners, laundry, organizing the children's clothing and belongings, and staying ahead of seasonal wardrobe changes. Afternoons involve helping with school pick-ups, coordinating after-school activities, and providing an extra layer of support as the children transition through their busy schedules. Their daughter enjoys horseback riding, cross country, and reading, and would benefit from gentle encouragement to stay on top of homework, while their son loves basketball, flag football, and building with Legos. The ideal candidate is organized, dependable, and self-motivated, with excellent communication skills and a natural ability to anticipate the family's needs. The family also has a friendly French Bulldog, so comfort around dogs is important. This is a fantastic long-term opportunity for someone who enjoys household management just as much as building meaningful relationships with older children and becoming an essential part of a family's daily life.
