Overview: Organized and Proactive Family Assistant needed for Busy Family in Sylvan Park
Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Mom decided to head South and attend UT Knoxville for college. It was there that she met Dad at a volunteer meeting for Habitat for Humanity, where he was serving as President. It must have been quite a meeting, because they have been together ever since!
Like most parents these days who are juggling both work and raising children, they don’t have a ton of hobbies, though they do love traveling, live music, and comedy shows, and admittedly are big TV people – not reality shows per se – but the award-winning kind that keeps them up way too late after their kids have gone to bed.
Together the couple has 2 children, (B11) and (G6), who are a constant source of joy.
(B11) is a high-energy, curious, and hilarious kid, who is always asking big, thought provoking questions, and has an endless supply of jokes ready for any occasion. He’s currently into basketball and baseball, and also takes drum lessons.
(G6) is equally funny, sharp and easy going, and is the type of kiddo that would sign up for every activity if she could. For now, her schedule includes Unicorn Club, singing lessons and soccer.
Both (B11) and (G6) are in school full time.
Also in the home is their Mini-Goldendoodle, who is 1.5 years old and loves all people.
Mom and Dad describe themselves as a close-knit family who genuinely enjoys spending time together – whether that is exploring new places, having dance parties, or just making memories together. They value open mindedness, doing their best to treat each other and everyone they come across with respect, and place a high priority on traveling, especially internationally, for its exposure to different people, cultures, and ways of life.
As a parenting style, they try to balance structure with a lot of grace and humor. They have set clear expectations for kindness, respect and effort, but also want their children to feel comfortable being themselves, asking questions, and making mistakes along the way. They believe in giving their children the opportunity to explore what they love – whether that’s sports, music, or other activities – and cheering them on from the sidelines. At the end of the day, their goal is to raise a son and daughter who are kind, confident and resilient, and who know that they are deeply loved.
It is with this focus, that they have decided to seek out a Family Assistant who can help with tasks around the home – will the goal being that the additional help will free up valuable time that they can then spend with their kiddos.
The family's ideal candidate is:
Trustworthy - Someone who is interested in forming a foundation of trust, and who will partner well with Mom and Dad.
Organized – Someone who is dependable, detail-oriented, and communicates important details with ease.
Proactive & Self-Motivated - Someone who takes initiative to get things done and who has the ability to see ahead of what might go beyond the task at hand.
And because Driving will be needed, a nanny who has a clean driving record, is a must.
