This is a wonderful opportunity to support a kind, down -to -earth family in Berkeley who are raising a preschool -aged child in a screen -free, emotionally grounded household. With Mom frequently traveling for work, they’re looking for a proactive, thoughtful Family Assistant who brings both warmth and reliability — someone who naturally creates calm and order amidst the busy rhythms of family life.
This role goes beyond logistics. It's about showing up with presence, engaging wholeheartedly with a curious, loving child, and helping maintain a steady, well -run home environment. The right person will have a strong,resume -backed foundation in childcare and genuinely enjoy spending time with young children — not just supervising, but connecting, guiding, and supporting them with care and patience. They'll take pride in contributing to something meaningful: a household rooted in respect, routine, and care.
Please note: This is a no -screens household — and that expectation extends to you. Being fully present is key. Phone use (including texting or scrolling) during work hours is not permitted, except in case of true emergencies or to support the family’s tasks.
What You’ll Do:
School pick -ups and occasional drop -offs
Light meal prep and simple family -friendly cooking
Running errands (groceries, dry cleaning, post office, etc.)
Tidying kitchen and shared areas
Supporting light household organization
Helping with family calendar + appointment coordination
Providing backup support during Mom’s travel
Respectfully reinforcing the family’s no -screens parenting approach
Who You Are:
Emotionally mature and grounded — you know how to leave personal distractions at the door and bring calm, capable energy into a family’s space
Loves being around children — you genuinely enjoy their company, follow their lead in play, and help them feel safe and seen
Reliable and conscientious — you take initiative, communicate clearly, and hold yourself to high standards
Experienced — you have a strong background in family support roles (e.g., nannying, family assistant, child development) and come with solid references
Confident behind the wheel — you’re comfortable driving and know the Berkeley area or can navigate it with ease
Discreet and respectful — you understand healthy boundaries and the importance of trust in a private household
Looking for a long -term, part -time role where you can make a meaningful contribution
Bonus Points If You:
Love cooking and find joy in preparing simple, nourishing meals
Are flexible when travel plans shift or schedules need adjusting
Are bilingual in English and Spanish (preferred), or fluent in Tagalog or Dutch (a plus)
