Minneapolis, MN

A busy single-parent household is seeking a dependable and proactive Family Assistant to support both teen care and household management. The position alternates weekly between family-focused support when the children are home and household organization when they are away. We’re a warm, active family with two great kids, a 16-year-old in 11th grade and a 13-year-old in 8th grade. Our home runs best with structure, communication, and a helping hand to keep things organized and flowing smoothly.

When the kids are home, we focus on connection, school activities, and family time. When they’re away, the emphasis shifts toward maintaining and organizing the home so it’s ready for the next busy week.

You’re reliable, organized, and proactive, someone who enjoys supporting both people and processes. You take initiative, communicate clearly, and are comfortable managing household tasks independently. You have experience working with teens and can provide a steady, friendly presence. You’re also safety-minded with reliable transportation and a clean driving record.

Pick up the 16‑year‑old from school at 2:30 p.m. and manage after‑school logistics for both children. Drive to and from activities, tutoring, and sports practices. Provide structure through snacks, homework support, and after‑school coordination. During the weeks that the children aren’t present, help with light household chores such as household organization projects, cleaning, and pet care.

• An alternating schedule provides a balance between family engagement and independent household work.
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping a busy family stay organized and supported.
• Family‑oriented, respectful, and communicative environment.
