FAMILY ASSISTANT
(30+ Hours)
FEEL SUPPORTED BY SOMEONE WHO HELPS KEEP YOUR HOME RUNNING SMOOTHLY
Our Family Assistants are for families seeking 30+ hours of childcare and in-home support per week.
At Lone Star Nannies, we recognize that modern family life can leave parents feeling like there’s never enough time in the day. Between school schedules, activities, meals, errands, and the constant flow of daily responsibilities, quality family time can be hard to fit in.
If this sounds familiar, a family assistant can bring a sense of calm, structure, and balance back into your home. These household heroes not only provide attentive, reliable care for your children, but also help manage the moving parts of your household. From school drop-offs and pickups to preparing meals, scheduling appointments, running errands, and keeping your home in order, a family assistant plays a key role in supporting your family’s daily rhythm.
However, finding someone who can step into both childcare and household support is no small task, and that’s where we come in. We take the time to understand your needs before introducing you to carefully vetted candidates who are capable, dependable, and a natural fit for your home.

Our family assistants combine childcare and household support in one role, helping families manage daily life more efficiently.
Typical duties of a Lone Star Nannies family assistant include:
School drop-offs, pickups, and activity transportation
Childcare and supporting daily routines
Managing schedules, calendars, and play dates
Meal preparation for children and families
Grocery shopping and household errands
Tracking household supplies and essentials
Light home organization and tidying
Supporting day-to-day household logistics and organization
Because every family operates in their own unique way, we will help you craft a job description tailored to your needs and routine.
-
A nanny focuses primarily on childcare, while a family assistant combines this with household support. As families grow and children start school, we often notice that parents find themselves requiring more support around the home rather than hands-on childcare.
A family assistant is ideal for families who are:
Managing busy family schedules and multiple activities
Looking for help with both childcare and household organization
Needing support with errands, meals, and logistics
Wanting consistent, long-term help in the home
Seeking one trusted person instead of multiple providers
-
The level of household support will be negotiated as part of your family assistant’s job description. This often includes light duties, such as occasional tidying, laundry, and meal prep. A family assistant is not a replacement for a professional cleaner, but they help maintain day-to-day order and structure in the home.
-
Yes, and this is where a family assistant can become invaluable to households with busy schedules. They can help with school runs, transport to activities and appointments, and carry out errands and grocery shopping as part of their role.
-
All candidates complete the Lone Star Nannies’ 12-Tier Screening Process, which includes:
Multi-stage interviews and reference checks
Criminal background screening (state and nationwide)
Driving record verification
Social media and online presence review
Sexual offender registry checks
