Private Service Professional / Family Assistant
Russ Hemphill
I bring over 18 years of private-family support across childcare, household management, travel, vendors, pets, routines, and specialized care.
I help families keep the day steady when the household has a lot of moving parts: children, caregivers, vendors, errands, meals, travel, pets, and routines that need calm follow-through.
Professional profile
A steady presence for full-family support.
I bring over 18 years of private-family background across family assistant, childcare, live-in household support, classroom inclusion, team-based caregiving, and home operations roles.
My strongest fit is a family that needs a mature, practical person who can work with children, caregivers, household staff, vendors, pets, schedules, and transitions without adding noise.
In the field
Comfortable where family life is actually happening.
Classroom energy, family travel, outdoor time, household pets, errands, and routines all sit inside the same practical support role.
Care approach
Predictable, practical, team-aware support.
Calm structure
Daily schedules, living skills, outings, and transitions are handled with predictable follow-through.
Whole-home help
I can support childcare, errands, shopping, cooking, vehicles, pets, vendors, classroom-style activities, and household projects.
Staffed-home fit
I am comfortable working alongside caregivers, household teams, and private families with discretion and consistency.
At home
Pets, property, and daily rhythm included.
Key skills
Clear support families and agencies can scan quickly.
