There may be domestic travel 3-5 times per year, typically over extended weekends.

The family values a self-starter with a strong work ethic who actively supports the household by assisting with light tasks when possible.

Compensation is $30-40/hour, paid via payroll. Benefits include paid sick days, holidays, and vacation. A potential health insurance stipend is negotiable for the perfect candidate.
