Family assistant, nanny and personal assistant roles from private families and domestic staffing agencies.
A family assistant sits between a nanny and a personal assistant. The focus is the family as a whole: driving the kids to school and activities, planning their schedules, grocery runs and returns, organizing closets and playrooms, getting ready for trips and birthdays, and stepping in with childcare when needed.
It is a great role for experienced nannies who want more variety, and for organized assistants who enjoy working with children.
Family assistants are usually paid hourly; full-time roles may be salaried. Pay depends on childcare duties, driving, hours and the city.
