We’re a busy, international family based in New York City looking for a highly capable, service oriented Family Personal Assistant (PA) to bring calm, order, and support to our home.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely values and experiences the virtue of service, thrives on managing moving parts, and takes pride in creating systems that help a household run beautifully. Trust, reliability, and care are non-negotiable for us as this is a deeply personal role in our family’s life.

Our family includes two working parents and two children. Our lives are full, fast-paced, and international.
