A Family Assistant takes care of all your family management needs. Find out what a FA does and why more and more families are choosing this option.
Your schedule is packed, you need to pick up the kids, dinner isn’t sorted out yet, and somewhere in your inbox is an unanswered message from the dentist. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. More and more busy families in the Netherlands are opting for a Family Assistant—a professional who takes over all aspects of family management. But what does a Family Assistant actually do on a typical day?
Morning: The day is already all set
While you’re getting ready for work, the Family Assistant makes sure the kids are ready, their backpacks are packed, and the schedule for the day is all set. Appointments have already been scheduled, the family doctor has been called, and the groceries for dinner have been ordered. The morning goes smoothly, without the usual hustle and bustle.
Daytime: From Planning to Practical Matters
During the day, the Family Assistant manages the family calendar, handles package deliveries, coordinates the children’s sports and music activities, and ensures the house looks presentable. Maintenance tasks are also scheduled, and in-house staff, such as the housekeeper or gardener, are supervised.
Afternoon: Pick up the kids, help with homework
The FA picks up the kids from school or sports club, helps with homework, and ensures a structured afternoon. Does your child have a birthday or a playdate? It’s all taken care of. The invitations have been sent, and the gift has been ordered.
Evening: A Healthy Meal on the Table
At the end of the day, a fresh, healthy dinner is ready for the whole family. You come home and can just be there, without worrying about what still needs to be done. That’s the power of a Family Assistant.
More than just a housekeeper or a nanny
A Family Assistant is neither a housekeeper nor a nanny. It’s an all-around professional who coordinates all aspects of family management.
