A wonderful family of four in Ruxton is looking for an energetic family assistant to help bring fun and organization to their busy lives! They have a 7-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. Care is needed Monday-Friday from 11am-4pm. Currently their daughter gets picked up from school at noon but starting in January her new pickup time will be 2:40pm. Their son gets out of school at 3pm. Before the pickup time changes, the family assistant will bring their daughter home, get her lunch, and put her down for a nap, once the pickup time changes the family assistant can focus on household tasks till it is time to pick up both children. Their ideal candidate may have some flexibility to provide full day care, a few weeks out of the year when mom travels or when schools are closed, however, this would be by mutual agreement and not a requirement for the position. In the summer, the hours would be guaranteed but may shift earlier or later in the day by mutual agreement. The family would also love to hire someone who is comfortable around pools and taking children swimming, though this is not a requirement. They hope to find a family assistant who will engage the children in exciting and age-appropriate activities and when they are not home will focus on simple household organization. Someone who is observant and when they see a need, they fill it! Tasks for the family assistant include carpools & driving to activities, errands, grocery shopping, homework help, family laundry & meals, and keeping areas used by the family assistant/children tidy. Family meals can be very easy and could be as simple as just prepping the ingredients. Family has a sweet and super relaxed dog named Chessie. The only pet care asked of the family assistant is to let her in and out as needed for bathroom breaks. Mom typically tries to work from home once a week in a designated office within the home. The family would prefer a candidate who is a non-smoker, is vaccinated or willing to be vaccinated against Covid-19 and the Flu before starting with the family. Family assistant is asked to follow CDC guidelines in respect to safety, to help curb the spread of COVID-19 virus. **Family is also open to hiring a family assistant looking for less than a year.

A two Mom household is looking for an engaging and punctual family assistant for their 11-year-old son. Family has a 5 floor townhouse with a driveway for parking on the water in a quiet Fells Point neighborhood. The family assistant will likely only need to use the second floor (living room and kitchen) and 4th floor (son’s room and laundry room), but should be comfortable with stairs. Care is needed Monday-Friday from 7:30am-5:30pm, however, the family assistant will likely have some downtime in between dropping off their son at school and returning for pick-up, depending on the tasks that need completing. In the summers, the schedule will be similar to the school year as their son will attend summer camps. They would love to find a family assistant that has a little flexibility, should either mom have to work a little later than usual. Proper notice would be provided. On days when school is closed or their son has a minor non-Covid related illness, the family assistant will provide full day care for their son. They would love it if their family assistant would take their son on outings and would share their passions with him, as he loves learning new things! In the past his nannies have taken him to corn mazes, taught him how to knit, cook, and draw. Their son is a curious and fun-loving kid who loves to talk, be silly, and get creative! His current passions are fishing, playing tennis, cooking, and art projects. The family is looking for a family assistant who is a good communicator, is organized, and creative. Someone that speaks an additional language such as Spanish would be a plus, however, this is not a requirement. Overall, they want to find a family assistant who will establish a wonderful bond with their son and will be with them for years to come! Family assistant tasks include driving to activities including school/camps, occasional errands such as assisting with dropping off/picking up dry cleaning, shopping for gifts, grocery shopping, family laundry & meals, supervising handymen/women, and keeping areas of the home used by the family assistant & their son tidy. Family meals can be simple. They love pasta, meals from the crockpot and typically have a protein, veggie & starch. Family is happy to brainstorm typical ideals for family meals! Family has a cat named Jazzy, who will likely keep to herself until she gets to know the family assistant. Their son handles feeding her but they would love assistance with taking Jazzy to the vet as needed, however, this is not a requirement. Occasionally both Moms may work from home during the week. A safe driver with a reliable car is required for the position. The family would prefer a family assistant who is vaccinated or willing to be vaccinated against Covid-19 before starting. Family assistant is asked to follow CDC guidelines in respect to safety, to help curb the spread of COVID-19 virus.
