What do family assistants do?
Family assistants play an important household role
Family assistants manage households in a number of very important ways. They are what we call in the domestic staffing industry a hybrid role. Essentially, a family assistant is an amalgamation of a personal assistant, nanny, executive assistant, and housekeeper. In short, they are an extension of the mother of father in the household.
A family assistant role covers all things from A to Z in the estate: scheduling doctor appointments, grocery shopping, and errands related to the household upkeep -- just to name a few things.

Do family assistants serve the entire family?
Family assistants are an "all in one" job
Yes, absolutely. Depending on the size of the estate and the number of people in the entire family, a separate personal assistant may be employed because the workload would be too much for one family assistant to be responsible for.
In a very large estate with many family members, it would be customary to have nannies, chefs, and multiple family assistants to manage all of the kids.

Can family assistant jobs be a career?
Yes, absolutely. If you have the organizational skills to schedule appointments, offer administrative support, and keep a family's house running smoothly, then you can make a great career out of it.
The main component of the job is that family assistants provide childcare, which includes meal preparation. If those two tasks aren't something you love doing, then being a personal assistant is recommended instead.
