A warm family in Brighton, NY is looking for a proactive and engaging Family Assistant to support them in caring for their home and two sweet children. The family recently lost the children’s mother, and they are looking for a special provider who can help support the family and children long-term as they cope and adjust. The family’s 5-year-old attends morning pre-k during the week, while the 3-year-old attends on T/Th mornings. This loving father describes his children as sweet, silly, and imaginative, and would love to work with a provider who is kind, gentle, and experienced in fostering the growth and development of little ones. A candidate who is comfortable doing drop-offs and pickups when needed, and who is skilled at managing their time with household tasks while the children are in school will be a great fit. This family is screen-free and values a caregiver who can engage the children in fun and creative activities, reading, and outdoor time. Family Assistant responsibilities include light household tidying, family laundry, tidying of the kitchen and dishes, as well as meal planning and prep. Someone who takes initiative and can fill a need proactively will be very successful in this role. A caregiver with a gentle and compassionate approach to discipline, while holding firm to boundaries when needed will be a wonderful complement to the family’s parenting philosophies. The family hopes to find a candidate to begin in mid-December, in order to get acquainted with the children and family before an official start date at the beginning of January. The ability to make a long-term commitment is very important to this family, and they look forward to finding a wonderful match.
