When the child is at school or with the father, the role extends to family assistant duties such as laundry, meal prep, grocery shopping, running errands, household organization, maintaining common areas, and scheduling appointments as needed to support household functionality. While the position is not primarily custodial housekeeping, the ideal candidate will enjoy organization and demonstrate initiative.

A safe driving record, sound judgment, professionalism, discretion, and flexibility are required. Ultimately, seeking someone committed to building a long-term, trusting relationship with our family and becoming a positive, reliable presence in our child's life.
