Running a household can easily become an overwhelming task. When adding school age children and pets to the mix on top of the general daily tasks, it can become downright impossible to find a balance between caring for your home and for yourself. If you’ve ever been in a situation where an extra pair of hands could improve your day-to-day, a family assistant could be a perfect solution. A winning combination of skills A family assistant can be given many responsibilities and are not bound by one specific duty, like a nanny would be to childcare. As PureWow explains, a family assistant does have nanny experience, but they also have personal assistant skills. A driver’s license (and a great driving record) and a bachelor’s degree are usually a must for this position due to some of the common duties. Again, a family assistant is not limited to one role, they can essentially become a household manager. While the job description may differ based on your needs, some of the common responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Running errands
- Driving children to school, events and appointments
- Light housekeeping and helping with household chores
- Grocery shopping and meal prep
- Pet care
