FAQs
What does a Family Assistant do?
A Family Assistant helps manage the busy hours between school pickup and the end of the evening. Support can include transportation to activities, after-school routines, homework reminders, meal preparation, children's laundry, and getting things ready for the next day.
How is The 227 different from a babysitting service?
The 227 focuses on recurring afternoon and evening support that goes beyond supervising children. Family Assistants help coordinate the activities, household tasks, and daily routines that keep family schedules moving.
What hours are Family Assistants available?
The 227 is designed around the afternoon and evening hours, generally between 2 PM and 7 PM. Specific schedules are arranged based on each family's needs and service availability.
Can a Family Assistant pick up my children from school and take them to activities?
Yes. School pickups and transportation to scheduled activities are part of the support The 227 is designed to provide. Transportation arrangements and individual requirements are discussed before services begin.
Do we need to schedule recurring services?
The 227 is built around consistent, recurring support. This allows a Family Assistant to become familiar with your household routines, children's schedules, and expectations over time.
