We are Thomas & Jessie a married couple in our 30's with two baby boys Ollie (18 months) and CJ (4 months). Thomas runs our tour business from home while Jessie is in charge of all things parenting. We're lucky enough to live between Los Angeles and Melbourne most of the time and our lives are anything but conventional. We've been back in Melbourne for 8 months and are getting ready to head back to LA in December.
We need one live-in amazing helper to assist us with the daily household tasks (cleaning, laundry, dishes, etc). You MUST follow instructions, be hardworking (fast), follow a schedule, be clean, respectful, and detail-oriented.
You'll get your own private room in our Penthouse apartment on the famous Chapel Street, complete with everything you need... small fridge, comfortable queen bed, 55" 4K Smart TV (Netflix, HBO), and plenty of storage. Breakfast, Healthy Green Juice, Protein Shake, & Dinner is included on workdays.
The hours are roughly 7:00 to 10:00am and then 5:30 to 7:30pm 5 days per week... 25hrs per week total. Some additional paid work (answering emails in home office) may be available at $20 per hour if you are suitable.
We're currently looking for help available in Melbourne until December but will need an assistant wherever we travel for the next five years so for the ideal person we could potentially bring you with us (Melbourne, Los Angeles, Hawaii, New York, Perth).
Please only apply if you have read our description and are a good match.

Entertaining Kids - You'll only ever be asked occasionally to play with our kids but need to be comfortable around babies and toddlers.
Various Tasks - You'll be asked to help us with a variety of things each week and we will show you exactly what needs to be done. There are no specific skills required but you must have great attention to detail, be willing to work hard, and follow instructions exactly.
