    We’re two young entrepreneurs (28y/o) with a 10-week-old baby, looking for an amazing extra pair of hands to join us for the next 1–4 months. We both work from home and are running businesses across furniture, real estate, fashion and tech, finishing a house renovation, and looking after our new baby. We’re looking for someone who can work alongside us and help wherever they’re most needed that day. This is a genuinely varied role. One day (or one hour!) could look completely different from the next. You might be: • Helping with business admin, research, emails, spreadsheets or organising samples, • Helping coordinate contractors, deliveries and outstanding renovation jobs, • Running errands, organising returns or picking things up, • Holding or entertaining the baby while one of us takes a call or catches up with emails, • Putting on a load of laundry, tidying the kitchen or helping get the house back in order, • Organising a cupboard, unpacking a delivery or making us all something quick for lunch, • Generally spotting what needs doing and taking it off our plate There will usually be all four of us at home together, so this isn't a traditional nanny, housekeeper or PA position. It's much more of an all-round support role, working alongside us as part of the family/work setup. We don't mind if your background is in production, personal assistance, childcare, fashion, hospitality, startups or something completely different. What matters most is that you're bright, warm, trustworthy, practical and extremely proactive. We're looking for the kind of person who doesn't need a rigid job description and naturally thinks, “What can I do to make today run more smoothly?” You should be comfortable around a young baby and equally comfortable jumping onto a laptop, speaking to a contractor or folding a load of laundry. Hours: Monday–Friday, 10am–6pm Duration: Minimum 1 month, potentially up to 4 months Start: ASAP Location: London, working from our home For the initial month, we're looking for someone who already works on a freelance/self-employed basis and is able to invoice us for their time. If you're interested, please send us a little about yourself, your experience, your availability and your freelance hourly/day rate.
