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.
