Phenomenal Santa Monica Family Seeks Fabulous Family Assistant

Some families just make you happy to work with, and this is one of them! We’re working with two brilliant, warm, very involved working parents who are looking for their own Chief Logistics Officer — someone spunky, proactive, organized, and genuinely happy to be part of the whole family picture.

Their daughter is 9 and in fourth grade, and their son is 5 and in kindergarten. The kids are well behaved, take the bus home from school, and have a nicely balanced schedule, so you won’t spend your afternoons living in the car. What they need is a wonderful extra set of hands who can help keep the household running smoothly while being a fun, engaged presence for the kids. This is a true hybrid role: part Family Assistant, part household manager, part after-school sidekick. If you love organizing the moving pieces of a busy home but can also happily switch gears to help with homework, hang out with the kids, get them where they need to go, or come up with something fun to do, keep reading!

Both parents are hands-on and love their kids, but Dad travels frequently and Mom’s career is expanding, so they need a trusted partner who can jump in, anticipate what needs doing, and make life easier for everyone. Think managing family logistics, keeping track of schedules and appointments, helping with errands and household organization, staying on top of the everyday details, and making sure the afternoon runs like a well-oiled machine. Mom loves to food prep on the weekends, but an extra hand with dinner would be wonderful. Light cooking is a plus, not a requirement.

The greatest hours of need are 2:30–7:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with the option to expand to 1:00–8:00 p.m. for someone looking for full-time hours. There’s a Nanny car available for work-related driving, and if you ever work late and would rather not head home, there’s even a private ADU behind the house where you can stay overnight.

Compensation is around $40 hour, with paid time off and overtime as applicable. The family is also open to discussing a healthcare stipend for the right person.

We’d love to find someone who enjoys making a household hum, likes children, and understands that being a great Family Assistant sometimes means taking care of the details and sometimes means putting everything down to be present with the kids.

If you’re the kind of person who gets genuine satisfaction from making a family’s life easier — and still has the energy to make the after-school hours fun — we’d love to hear from you!
