Family Driver / Personal Assistant • Manhattan

We are a Manhattan family seeking a dependable, experienced driver to help with daily school transportation for our  2 middle schoolers. We’re looking for someone calm, punctual, safety-conscious, and comfortable working with children.

The main responsibility is getting our children to and from school safely and reliably. There may also be an opportunity for additional paid hours assisting a private medical practice with errands and transportation.

Schedule

Monday through Friday on school days:

• Morning pickup at 7:30 a.m. on the Upper West Side, with drop-off near West 23rd Street and Sixth Avenue.
• Afternoon pickups at approximately 3:30 p.m.,  4:30 p.m. and sometimes 5:30 returning the children to the Upper West Side.
• Some afternoons require two separate trips; others require only one when dismissal times align.
• Time between the morning and afternoon runs is your own unless additional paid duties have been scheduled.

Responsibilities

• Provide safe, attentive transportation and arrive on time.
• Follow agreed school pickup and drop-off procedures.
• Ensure children are properly secured with appropriate seat belts or booster seats.
• Communicate promptly about arrivals, delays, and schedule changes.
• Keep the vehicle clean and comfortable.
• Respect the family’s privacy and maintain a professional, friendly manner.

Optional Additional Work

For someone interested in more hours, duties may include local errands, supply pickups, deliveries, and occasional scheduled airport transportation for patients of a private medical practice. Additional assignments must fit around the school schedule and will be agreed upon in advance.

Qualifications

• Valid driver’s license and a strong, verifiable safe driving record.
• Experience driving in Manhattan.
• Previous experience as a family driver, chauffeur, or in another role involving children.
• Excellent reliability, communication, and judgment.
• Professional references.
• Willingness to complete appropriate driving-record and background screening.

To Apply

Please send a brief introduction describing your driving experience, experience working with children, and availability for both the morning and afternoon schedule.

Please also indicate whether you would use your own vehicle or require a family-provided vehicle. If using your own, include its make, model, and year.

Let us know whether you prefer school transportation only or would also be interested in additional daytime work.
