A lovely family with three children in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, CA is looking for a candidate to help with cooking, driving the children, and occasional light childcare. The position is ideally part-time, but the family is open to creating a full-time role for the right candidate. The family employs a full-time nanny and is looking to add someone who can help with driving (the kids are at three different schools) and cooking (they'd like to move toward a family mealtime at dinner). This candidate could be a chef with a great driving record who loves kids and is game to help beyond the kitchen, or a nanny who loves cooking and would be excited to take on family dinner as part of their responsibility set. Job could be part or full-time as candidates require, but they would be looking for coverage at least 4 afternoons or evenings a week. The children are twin boys, aged 12 years old, and a 4-year-old girl. The family is looking for a team player who wants to help the family machinery run smoothly and help fill in the necessary gaps!
