After-School Family Assistant

We are a warm, busy family in San Antonio seeking a dependable and caring after-school family assistant for two girls, ages 10 and 13. This role is perfect for someone who is warm, responsible, organized, and comfortable providing kind but firm guidance to school-aged children. Schedule: Three consistent weekdays, 4:30pm to 7pm, totaling 8-10 hours per week. Responsibilities include being consistently present and on time, school pickup or local driving as needed, helping the girls get settled and prepare an afternoon snack, providing homework help when needed, reinforcing respectful communication, healthy habits, and family expectations, assisting with their after-school routine (including putting away backpacks, shoes, lunchboxes, and personal belongings), unloading the dishwasher and loading a light amount of dishes, walking our friendly dog when the weather is pleasant, and keeping the children’s immediate areas reasonably tidy. The ideal candidate has reliable transportation, a valid driver’s license, auto insurance, and a safe driving record, previous experience with school-aged children or preteens, and is dependable and able to commit to a consistent schedule. They should be comfortable holding calm, appropriate boundaries, attentive and engaged rather than frequently using their phone, comfortable with a dog, capable of providing at least two childcare or professional references, willing to complete a background and driving-record check, and have current CPR/first-aid certification or be willing to obtain it. We are seeking someone who can become a trusted, steady presence in our family and commit for at least the school year. Please respond with your experience, availability, general location, transportation information, and two references. Pay: $20/hour, plus mileage reimbursement when transporting the kids.
