About the Family

A warm and busy family in Larchmont, NY is seeking an experienced, intuitive, and proactive Family Assistant to help care for their toddler and baby while also assisting with light household organization and family-related tasks.

Both parents work from home full-time and are actively involved in the children’s day-to-day care. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working in partnership with both parents and following their guidance and preferences. The family values a collaborative, parent-led approach and is looking for someone who communicates openly and respectfully, raises concerns constructively, and is receptive to feedback.
