Job Description

This opportunity is with a caring and organized family located in Logan Square, seeking to hire a full-time Housekeeper and Family Assistant. This position offers a well-compensated role with wages ranging from $30 to $35 per hour. The employment is full-time, requiring a work schedule of 40 hours per week spread over four days. The family consists of two young children, ages 2 and 4, which positions this role uniquely as a hybrid of household management and child support, focusing more on maintaining the household than child interaction. This role plays a vital part in the smooth daily functioning of the family home by combining traditional housekeeping duties with support tailored to a young family. The household assistant will be a key member of the home, ensuring cleanliness, organization, and punctuality in school-related activities and errands.

The role involves a diverse set of responsibilities. A large portion includes general housekeeping tasks such as laundry, cleaning, organizing children’s spaces, and meal preparation. While the candidate should be compassionate and patient with children, the job emphasizes keeping the household running efficiently and proactively managing tasks without constant supervision or prompting. This position does not require travel, but a valid driver's license and reliable transportation are mandatory for safely driving the children to and fro school and extracurricular activities. The family seeks someone who is not only meticulous and proactive but also warm and nurturing, capable of creating a safe, loving, and stable environment. The ideal candidate will exhibit someone calm, communicative, and detail-oriented, ensuring the family routine proceeds seamlessly each day. Long-term commitment is preferred, reflecting the family’s desire for consistent and dependable support. This role suits individuals who enjoy structured environments, multitasking, and working closely yet respectfully within a family setting. It is an excellent opportunity for those who want to contribute significantly to a young family’s daily life while honing organizational and caregiving skills in a supportive home-based environment.
