Organized, Kind, and Ready to Help? Fair Oaks Family Assistant Needed 3 Days a Week! (Job #796)
Description

A warm and welcoming Fair Oaks family is looking for a kind, detail-oriented family assistant to become a steady support in their household. This is the perfect fit for someone who loves variety — a mix of household management and childcare for two kind, creative kids who will absolutely steal your heart.

About the Family

This down-to-earth family of four has built a happy, lively home filled with imagination and activity. Their daughter (9) loves reading, theater, unicorns, and sweet treats — she’s bright, thoughtful, and independent. She has Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, so her caregiver must be attentive, responsible, and willing to learn how to manage her care with confidence (full training provided).

Their son (5) is silly, energetic, and loves cars, Legos, and keeping up with his big sister. Both kids are in school during the day, which makes this role ideal for someone who enjoys balancing solo household time with moments of connection and play.

Mom and Dad both work — Dad works primarily from home with occasional office days, and Mom works from home 2–3 days a week. They’re organized but easygoing, and they truly value open communication, collaboration, and calm energy.

The Ideal Candidate

You’re the kind of person who notices what needs to be done — and does it with care. You thrive on creating order, helping things run smoothly, and being a reliable, kind-hearted presence for a busy family.

The right fit is:
• Organized, reliable, and proactive
• Warm, trustworthy, and good with communication
• Comfortable monitoring their daughters diabetes while she is in your care (training provided)
• Experienced (3+ years preferred) in nanny, household, or family assistant work

If you’ve ever been told you’re “the glue that holds things together,” this is your kind of family.
