FULL-TIME FAMILY ASSISTANT NEEDED IN WOODINVILLE - AUGUST START
OUR FAMILY: We really value our downtime and try to fill it with social gatherings, trips to the museum/zoo, vacations, music, play, picnics, and any other joy-inspiring activities. Our philosophy has always been to take it easy with the little details of life so that we can enjoy the important things (family, health, happiness). We have three children. Our oldest daughter just turned four and our son will turn three in the fall. Both of them will start full-time Montessori school in September. Our family assistant will primarily be responsible for our five-month old daughter on a typical Mon-Fri schedule. However, help with getting the older children ready for school in the morning will be appreciated!
OUR HOME: Located in the Hollywood Hill neighborhood we are minutes away from the hustle and bustle of parks, restaurants, shopping, and the fabulous wine district! Our home has plenty of room for privacy and opportunities to play hide and seek. We are fairly tidy and organized as we understand the importance that has in the day-to-day motions of life. We also understand the natural mess that children can create in a home and want our children to have the freedom to be creative and explore as well. Dad will primarily be in his home office and would prefer to be able to dedicate his time at work. Mom is a physician who works part time. We hope to engage in positive parenting and encourage our children to gain independence and regulate their emotions.
OUR GOALS: First and foremost, ensuring our baby is safe, loved, and cared for and reaching her developmental milestones. We would also like to foster a loving relationship between our children. While the family assistant will have limited interaction with the older children who will be in school, we would like help getting them ready in the morning, and doing some school pickups.
OUR SONG: “Livin’ la Vida Loca” by Ricky Martin.
OUR FAMILY ASSISTANT: Someone who is organized, punctual, professional, and reliable, but who is also outgoing and knows how to have fun. We would appreciate someone who has a growth mindset and is willing to be flexible and entertain spontaneous fun plans. We are hoping to find someone whose primary focus will be our daughter, with a slow (mutually agreed upon) ramping up of family assistant duties as her naps lengthen.
