We’re seeking a warm, highly organized, and proactive Family Assistant to support a single mother of three boys (ages 12, 8, and 5) in maintaining a smooth, balanced household. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic, family-centered environment and is passionate about fostering independence and life skills in children.
Responsibilities:
☑Provide support with household management and day-to-day logistics
☑Facilitating things around the house before school pickup (3:15–3:20 PM) for three boys attending the same local school
☑Assist with meal planning, prep, and encouraging healthy eating habits
☑Drive children to after-school activities (e.g., soccer practices)
☑Support and encourage age-appropriate chores and responsibility in the kids
☑Help maintain a clean, orderly, and calm home environment - not deep cleaning
☑Provide occasional overnight care when mom is traveling
☑Coordinate schedules, appointments, and family routines alongside mom
☑Running errands such as grocery shopping, keeping the home stocked, etc.
About the Family:
☑Three active boys, ages 12, 8, and 5 (Pre-K) - all at the same school.
☑Mom is a loving, energetic, and newly single parent juggling parenting, entrepreneurship, and a full schedule.
☑Family values structure, fun, emotional intelligence, and life skills development
Schedule:
Core hours: Monday to Friday, 1:30 PM – 9:30 PM (some flexibility needed) - may flex one day to have more daytime hours for things around the house before school is out with an earlier dismissal time. Also, there would be occasional overnight stays during special events or travel.

☑Holds strong, healthy boundaries with children and enforces rules and expectations consistently
☑Aligns with a parenting style that balances gentle and authoritative approaches. ☑Must be comfortable with "sturdy parenting" — not permissive, but not overly authoritarian either.
☑Uphold using natural consequences to guide behavior while allowing children to express their feelings and opinions respectfully.
☑Encourages independence and teaches life skills rather than doing everything for the children. Keeping them on track with their own chores to completion - not doing everything for them as they have responsibility in the family as well.

☑Strong communicator and calm with the energy of three boys!
☑Comfortable driving kids and managing their schedules
