- Making beds and maintaining organized living spaces
- Kitchen maintenance, including dishes and tidying

Childcare & Family Support: - School pick-up and driving to after-school activities
- Supporting and maintaining the child's daily routine
- Providing a safe, responsible, and engaging environment
- Assisting with basic needs and supervision appropriate for a 12-year-old
The Ideal Candidate - Experienced in both housekeeping and childcare roles
- Responsible, reliable, and highly organized
- Warm, patient, and comfortable working with pre-teens
- Flexible and able to adapt to a rotating schedule
- Proactive and able to anticipate household and family needs
- Strong communicator who can coordinate effectively with a busy parent
- Interested in a long-term position
Requirements - Prior experience in a similar dual-role position
- Valid driver's license and clean driving record
- Comfortable driving a child to/from school and activities (gas reimbursed)
- Legally authorized to work in the U.S.
This is a wonderful long-term opportunity for someone who enjoys being a steady, supportive presence in a home and building a meaningful relationship with both parent and child while helping the household run smoothly.
