Job #34231: Proactive & Experienced Family Assistant Needed In Scottsdale (E McDonald Dr & N Scottsdale Rd)

Agency Point of Contact for Job #34231: Gina (720) 464-0678

Message from Family: Dad is a busy physician, and Mom stays at home managing the household and caring for the children. We’re looking for a Family Assistant to provide an extra pair of hands and support Mom in her day-to-day tasks. We're seeking a self-directed and detail-oriented individual who thrives with minimal supervision. Our family includes three wonderful girls, one energetic boy, and three friendly doggies. A housekeeper is also part of our team to help keep the home running smoothly.

About the Children: Our oldest is a 14-year-old girl in 9th grade with a passion for theatre. She splits her time equally between our home and her mom's.

Our second child is an 11-year-old girl in 5th grade who loves playing softball and has a talent for the drums and piano. Like her older sister, she divides her time equally between our home and her mom's.

Our third child is a very energetic 3-year-old boy with a strong love for sports.

Our youngest is a sweet one-year-old girl.

We have another baby on the way who is due in June 2025.

The Ideal Family Assistant: Previous experience as a Family Assistant, Household Manager, or Mother's Helper is a requirement for this position. We are looking for a self-motivated and detail-oriented individual who is comfortable working independently with minimal supervision. The ideal candidate will be able to follow a list of tasks and complete them efficiently. While there are times we will need the Family Assistant to care for the children, the majority of this position would be assisting Mom in making sure things are completed around the home. Additionally, the role involves assisting with cooking and meal prepping for the entire family and being comfortable working closely with mom.

We need someone who genuinely loves children, builds strong relationships with all the children, and has a natural nurturing energy. The candidate should be passionate about childcare and have proven experience caring for multiple children. Specific experience working with energetic 3-year-old boys would be ideal. It's essential that they are skilled in setting boundaries with kindness and firmness.

Travel: We may request availability for up to four weeks of travel per year, which may be taken in one or two-week blocks at a time. Shorter trips, such as long weekends, are also possible. Most of our travel is domestic, with very little international travel.
