Overview

A kind and welcoming family of four is looking to add a full-time, live-in family assistant to their team. This role will primarily support the Mother with the baby, with occasional assistance needed for their 9-year-old child. The family also has a Doberman, so the ideal candidate must be comfortable with and genuinely enjoy caring for large dogs.

The family is seeking a hands-on, proactive, and flexible team player who can seamlessly integrate into their household. This is a salaried, live-in role requiring flexibility with scheduling. In their current home, you’ll have a private bedroom and ensuite bathroom; when they transition to their new residence, they will have a dedicated staff "wing" for added privacy.
