Family Assistants

A Dream Nannies Service

Family Assistants

Private Household Placement since 2003

Georgia’s Dream Nannies (operating across the Southeast as Dream Nannies) places family assistants, who combine childcare with household and personal-assistant tasks, with families across Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Texas. As children grow and family needs evolve, the traditional nanny role often expands into the “Family Assistant” — the ultimate “Swiss Army Knife” of household roles. This hybrid role is designed for the high-achieving family that needs a professional capable of pivoting from a school-run to a spreadsheet in a single hour.

The Family Assistant handles a 50/50 split of responsibilities: providing developmental support and transportation for the children while simultaneously managing the parents’ administrative needs. This includes grocery restocks, travel booking, school form management, and vendor coordination. They are proactive multitaskers who “see around corners,” anticipating that the kids need new cleats for the upcoming season or that the pantry needs a refresh before a holiday weekend, ensuring the entire household ecosystem remains in perfect balance.

Dream Nannies places Family Assistants across Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. Our expertise built since 2003 in household placement means we understand the nuanced skill set required for this demanding hybrid role. Every Family Assistant we place has been evaluated not only for their childcare experience but for their administrative acumen, organizational skills, and ability to manage competing priorities with grace.

Family Assistants: Frequently Asked Questions

What is a family assistant, and how is it different from a nanny?

A family assistant combines childcare with household and personal-assistant work, often in a roughly 50/50 split. Along with school runs and developmental support for the children, they handle grocery restocks, travel booking, school forms and vendor coordination. The role is ideal for families with school-aged children who need more administrative help than a traditional nanny role covers.

Can a family assistant help with my small business?

Often, yes. Some families ask a family assistant to take on light business tasks such as calendar management, correspondence or errands, creating a personal and business assistant hybrid. Tell us exactly what the role includes on the Insight Call so we introduce candidates with the right administrative skills. The final duties are agreed directly between your family and the person you hire.

How do you vet family assistants?

Every family assistant is evaluated for childcare experience and for administrative skill, organization and the ability to manage competing priorities. That is on top of our standard screening: structured interviews with our team, confidential reference checks with former employers, employment history verification and a digital footprint review. When you choose a candidate, we run a comprehensive criminal and background investigation, including a driving history check, before the start date.

What do we need to know before we start a search?

A sense of the schedule, the experience you need, a pay range you can sustain, and roughly when you want someone to start. If you are still weighing live-in against live-out, or part-time against full-time, we help you think it through on a 15-minute Insight Call. Call 1-844-626-6922, Monday through Friday, 8:30am–5pm ET, or send an inquiry and we reply within one business day.

How long does placement take, and what if it doesn’t work out?

Most families receive qualified candidate profiles within days, and a complete placement typically takes a few weeks when the role is clear and the pay fits the market. Your family hires the family assistant directly; Dream Nannies is the placement agency. Every placement is backed by our 6-month replacement guarantee, under which we actively source a qualified replacement if your hire doesn’t work out in the first six months.
