Summary:
We are seeking a highly organized, long-term Family Assistant to support a progressive household with a wide range of household management needs. The ideal candidate is confident, detail-oriented, and an excellent communicator who can anticipate needs, work independently, and willingly go the extra mile. This role requires understanding of and accommodation for the Principal's health concerns, so thoughtfulness and discretion are essential. If you're a Type A professional who thrives on creating order, managing multiple priorities, keeping detailed lists, and following through on every task, this position offers the perfect blend of responsibility and meaningful support, along with the opportunity to build a lasting professional relationship.
Required Skills:
Responsibilities include laundry management (washing and proper storage), maintaining the plant watering schedule, running errands (using a personal vehicle with gas reimbursement or the Principal's car), pet support for two large dogs, dusting and vacuuming between professional cleanings, grocery shopping at multiple locations while managing food allergies, and maintaining household supply inventory across additional storage spaces including an extra refrigerator, freezer, and pantry. Additional duties include holiday decor preparation, gift wrapping, assisting with ongoing home remodeling projects (including room packing and organization), occasional meal planning and prep, coordinating with home vendors, mail and package management, household decluttering, changing air filters and emptying dehumidifiers on a regular maintenance schedule, and providing support during visits from the Principal's college-age daughter. Candidates must be non-smokers who genuinely love dogs and feel comfortable in a progressive household environment. Light handyman skills for minor home repairs are a bonus.
