$30–$35/hour | FULL-Time | Job #T303

SILICON VALLEY, CA

Start Date: ASAP

Family Overview

A warm, entrepreneurial family in Silicon Valley is seeking a Family Assistant who thrives working independently and enjoys taking full ownership of the day to day flow. Both parents run businesses and maintain fast paced schedules, so the ideal candidate is confident stepping into a highly active home, making decisions without needing direction, and managing responsibilities with ease and autonomy.

The family has three children ages twelve, nine, and seven who are bright, active, and heavily involved in sports, school activities, and weekly lessons.

This role is best suited for someone who genuinely enjoys movement, structure, and high energy environments, and who feels excited about helping a busy household run smoothly. The family has a proven track record of long-term placements and maintains strong relationships with their previous nannies, many of whom remain connected to them today. Their current nanny is willing to provide a reference for qualified candidates, and their house manager has been with the family for ten years.
