As children grow up, families needs change, and we have recently seen the emergence of a new position: Family Assistant. This position helps parents manage their household workload, and is a hybrid of some of our other positions: personal assistant, driver, cook, and housekeeper. In short, Family Assistants jump in and assist wherever help is needed, and look for opportunities to keep the household and family&#8217;s lives running smoothly.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.momsbestfriend.com\/houston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/iStock_000009740164XSmall.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2792 alignright\" alt=\"Family Assistant helping with groceries\" src=\"http:\/\/www.momsbestfriend.com\/houston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/iStock_000009740164XSmall-200x300.jpg\" width=\"120\" height=\"180\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.momsbestfriend.com\/houston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/iStock_000009740164XSmall-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.momsbestfriend.com\/houston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/iStock_000009740164XSmall.jpg 283w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>The core of any Mom&#8217;s Best Friend candidate is that they are friendly, service-hearted, proactive, positive and flexible.
