The best Family Assistant would be an organized, responsible Family Assistant who is honest, kind, trustworthy, and genuinely great with children.

The family's afternoons are busy, with a 7th grader attending middle school, a 5th grader and 1st grader at the same elementary school, and a 3-year-old attending preschool Monday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm. The Family Assistant will be responsible for coming in and helping with house management tasks, then picking up the children from their schools. Each afternoon, the 3-year-old needs to be picked up from preschool and then the older children from their schools and then taken either home or to afterschool activities (The mom or grandparents will occasionally help with school pickups as well).
In addition to transportation from school and to activities in the afternoon, the Family Assistant will help manage the busy household by ensuring children are prepared for each school day, including completing homework, packing bags, preparing school lunches, and having the next day's clothes, snacks, and lunches ready to go. The children have various afternoon activities including soccer, dance, gymnastics, and swimming that will require coordination and support.
The family seeks a Family Assistant who can transform everyday moments into learning opportunities for the children, while enjoying active play, outside time, games, going on walks, and pool time.
