School Year Driver needed for Topanga Teenager commuting to the eastside for high school

Filled

Posted : 07/25/24

Our lovely clients are looking for a dependable, even keeled, flexible, kind and patient driver assistant. Ideally, we are looking for a west valley candidate who lives near Topanga!

This teenager does not drive yet, she’s 16, but is planning on getting her permit soon. However, she likely won’t be getting her driver’s license this year, so they will need this person to commit to a whole school year. You will be in charge of safely driving the teenager to school in the mornings, and then home in the afternoons. During the day, you will be asked to run errands for the family as needed, but there will often be a lot of downtime.

The morning starts at 6:45am to drive the teen to school, and you’ll likely drive back to Topanga anywhere between 4:30pm-6pm.

The family would like to pay $40-45 an hour, DOE – and you will be paid for a whole day, likely 10 plus hours most days to ensure you are available for the commute hours.

Please apply if you have a perfect driving record, experience working with teenagers, and a flexible mindset. You must have a safe car in excellent working condition – mileage will be reimbursed, and they will offer an allowance for wear to tear on your car. Once the teen starts driving, there will likely be a family car for practice.

Priority for this role will be given to candidates we have successfully placed with excellent reference, a perfect background check and high profile experience. Thank you!
