Bellingham Family Assistant Needed

All applicants must apply online at www.thenannyconsultant.com.

A family of three in Bellingham is looking for a family assistant to join their family. His son is a kind-hearted 5-year-old with a vivid imagination. He enjoys imaginative sci-fi pretend play, creating fantastical worlds and characters. His curiosity drives him to explore new ideas and experiences, and he embraces his independence. His sister, who is 9 years old, enjoys a variety of art, drawing, and reading. Though she is quiet at first, often taking her time to feel comfortable in new situations, her creativity shines brightly once she comes out of her shell. In her downtime, she enjoys listening to captivating audiobooks and reading and delights in imaginative play with her dolls and figurines. Both kids enjoy various activities: going to the lake in the summer, swimming, watching movies at a movie theatre, riding their scooters, visiting the library, exploring the beach, and visiting art supply stores.

FAMILY VALUES: As a family, they uphold the principles of kindness, fostering a warm atmosphere where they treat each other and those around them with compassion and understanding. They take the time to appreciate the little things in life and recognize their many blessings. Honesty is at the core of their interactions, ensuring trust and integrity shape their relationships. Lastly, they embrace patience, knowing that it is essential for growth and harmony within their family and the world around them.

ABOUT THE FAMILY ASSISTANT: In an ideal scenario, the family seeks a dependable and nurturing individual to assist on weekends. This person would be responsible for preparing the children for their day, including preparing meals, helping them with the usual morning routines, and ensuring they have everything they need for their activities. They are looking for someone who can identify and address their needs as they arise. They desire a candidate who will not only fulfill these duties but also be a positive role model.

SCHEDULE: The family has a seven-week parenting plan. Weeks 1, 3, 5, and 6 are the dad's weeks. Week 1 and 5 would be at his home in Bellingham, and weeks 3 and 6 would be at his home in Richmond, B.C. They are working on a one-week-on-one-week-off schedule for the future.

HOURS: Weekends that land on weeks 1, 3, 5, and 6 would be more kid-centered, with the hours from around Friday 2-5p (optional and flexible), Saturday and Sunday 8a to roughly 2p (hours are flexible), and weeks 2 and 4, would be family assistant related. On weeks 3 and 5, Dad can offer additional hours on Monday and Tuesday in the morning or afternoon if the nanny would like more hours.I understand this schedule may be confusing, and I can provide an example schedule. My client is also flexible for the right fit, and we can discuss your availability in the interview!
