Description

  • Hours: Monday – Thursday (or Friday), approx. 4 PM – 7 PM (~12–15 hrs/week). Can consider fewer days or/and mornings as well
  • Compensation: $40/hr + standard mileage reimbursement for driving
  • Start Date: Flexible, ideally by end of September

Looking for an organized, proactive part-time Family Assistant / Mother’s Helper to help our school pickup and evening routines run smoothly.

This role is a blend of dinner prep, evening childcare, and household staging. On evenings when parents are home, we like to "tag-team" the routine (for example, a parent handles bath time while you tackle kitchen cleanup, or vice versa).

Core Responsibilities:

  • Next-Day Morning Prep: Prep for the next school day (pack lunchbox/water bottle, check backpack, pick out clothes with our son).

  • School Pickup (As Needed): Pick up our son from school in Menlo Park (dismissal up to 5:30 PM) on days we are held up with work.

  • Evening Routine: Assist with feeding dinner, bath time, and bedtime transition, either independently or alongside a parent.

  • Light Household Tasks: Wash/load child's dinner dishes, wipe down counters, and put away leftovers. Take out trash/recycling and tidy up bath and play areas.

  • Occasional Flexibility (Optional, but Preferred): Availability for occasional evening or weekend babysitting or morning support with advance notice.

  • Additional hours: If able to do regular morning support a few times/week, additional hours can be given.

Ideal Qualifications:

  • Warm, communicative, and comfortable with a cooperative household dynamic.
  • Valid driver’s license, clean driving record, and reliable vehicle (car seat provided).
  • Prior experience in childcare or family assistant roles.
  • References required

To Apply:
Please reply with a brief introduction, your background/experience, your current weekly availability, and references.
