Family/Personal Assistant to Private Family

JRN #2105

A dynamic Austin-based family of five, with 3 children ages 3-8 years old, is seeking an exceptional Family/Personal Assistant to join their household. This household thrives on structure, creativity, and care — and they’re looking for a proactive and warm professional who can bring calm to the chaos and seamless coordination to their day-to-day operations.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves working with children while also providing high-level household and personal support. The ideal candidate will be equally comfortable managing logistics, tidying up the playroom, prepping dinner, or navigating the after-school carpool.

Key Responsibilities (but not limited to):

• Provide attentive and engaging after-school childcare (3–5 hours/day), including school pickups and driving to extracurricular activities
• Support household management: laundry, tidying, basic organizing, and general upkeep
• Handle errands, grocery runs, and inventory management of household supplies
• Prepare simple family meals and/or coordinate with external meal services
• Liaise with and manage household vendors (housekeeper, landscapers, pool maintenance, handyman, etc.)
• Maintain and update the household calendar, keeping the family on track and well-prepared
• Occasionally travel with the family domestically and internationally (trips range from 1 week to 1 month)

Qualifications:

• Warm, kind, and calm under pressure — a steady presence in a lively household
• Highly organized, resourceful, and detail-oriented, with the flexibility to pivot as plans evolve
• Experienced with children and confident in handling multiple age groups simultaneously
• A strong communicator who is collaborative with parents but comfortable working independently
• Enthusiastic, dependable, and committed to pitching in wherever needed to help the family thrive

Requirements:

• Valid driver’s license, clean driving record, and reliable vehicle
• Valid passport (or willingness to obtain one)
• Clean background check
• Willingness to travel with advanced notice
• Prior experience as a family assistant, nanny, or similar household role is highly valued

Compensation:

• $30–$35/hour based on experience (no benefits at this time); a slightly higher pay is negotiable for the right candidate
• $200/month car allowance
• All travel expenses covered (including private accommodations, meals, and transportation)
• Balanced schedule during travel, including clear downtime and rest
• Long-term opportunity with a respectful, joyful, and welcoming family environment

Schedule: 11am-7pm. This is a fully onsite position.
