Summary:
A bit about us: We’re a kind, open-minded family living an active lifestyle with two young children and a bustling household that includes two dogs and two cats. With both parents working, we’re seeking a reliable and professional Family Assistant to help keep things running smoothly in the late afternoons and early evenings. Our days are filled with after-school activities, outdoor adventures, and plenty of time in our garden, and we’d love a calm, capable presence to step in and manage the household tasks that make it all possible. We value discretion, initiative, and a warm energy that fits well in our home.
A bit about you: You’re a detail-oriented and proactive Family Assistant who finds satisfaction in keeping a household organized and running smoothly. You’re confident managing tasks, able to follow directions with positivity and enthusiasm, you love pets, and know your way around a kitchen and laundry room. You understand the value of stepping in with enthusiasm, professionalism, and discretion, and you bring a positive, steady energy to your work. Ideally, you’ve worked in a similar role and feel comfortable balancing tidying, meal prep, and pet care with the occasional interaction with children.
Job Duties: This role focuses on household support. Following family instructions and helping with household tasks such as light meal prep (chopping, marinating, etc.), kitchen upkeep (dishes, counters, and floors), family laundry (wash, dry, fold, and put away), and general tidying of common areas. Additional tasks include feeding pets, letting the dogs out, assisting with house training, and maintaining pet areas. Occasional light organizational tasks like preparing school lunches or tidying toys may come up. While child care is not the focus, the assistant may occasionally engage with the children (e.g., reading or sitting with them briefly during transition times).
Start Date: As soon as the right fit candidate can start!
Location: Mercer Island, 98040
Position Highlights: Guaranteed hours. Paid sick time accrual. Holidays. Mileage reimbursement if driving is required. Long-term, multi-year potential. Open to discussing additional benefits for the right fit.
Qualifications:

Schedule: M-F 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Pay: $30-40/hr, depending on experience
