Executive / Family Assistant – Live-out Transitioning to Live-in (Rancho Santa Fe, CA) [DM]

A wonderful family in Rancho Santa Fe is seeking an experienced Executive Family Assistant to oversee the daily logistics and flow of the household while supporting three children, ages 13, 11, and 10.

This full-time position will begin as a live-out role and transition into a live-in arrangement with separate living quarters provided.

This is not a traditional nanny position. The family is seeking a long-term right-hand person who can provide structure, logistics management, and steady support for three active school-aged children and the overall household. The ideal candidate is calm, proactive, organized, and enjoys becoming an integral part of a family's daily life.

This position is best suited for a mature professional who excels at managing schedules, coordinating transportation, preparing family meals, and maintaining consistency and structure within a busy home. The children do not require constant babysitting or hands-on childcare but instead need dependable support with transportation, organization, meals, and emotional steadiness.

The ideal candidate will be highly adaptable, comfortable with a dynamic schedule, and interested in establishing a long-term relationship with the family for many years to come.
