Energetic & Trustworthy Family Assistant Needed for Lively Household in Burlingame

Description

A family in Burlingame is seeking an energetic, proactive Family Assistant to help their household run smoothly. Their kids are 10-months (girl), 4 (girl), and 5 (boy) years old. Mom (stay-at-home) and dad enjoy being with the children, and the two older kids are in school from 9-3p, but they need someone who can be an extra set of hands as needed. That being said, this person will mostly be responsible for running errands, preparing simple meals for the family, prepping kids' lunches for the next day, tidying the kids' bedrooms as well as play spaces and common areas, organizational projects, family laundry, etc.

The best person for them is trustworthy, independent, and feels like part of the family. They have an energetic and upbeat household, so someone who can match their energy and easily keep up will be a good match. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to join a loving family for a few years!

Schedule: The family is open to 30-35 hours/week in the mornings or afternoons/early evening and open to discussing the candidate's preferred schedule. Flexibility to work occasional weekends and date nights is preferable.
