Do you always know the newest exhibit, coolest museum, hidden gem, or must-see pop-up in Los Angeles? Are you the person who can turn an ordinary Tuesday into an unforgettable adventure? A wonderful family of four visiting from the East Coast is seeking a creative, engaging, and emotionally intelligent Family Assistant/Mentor to help create an enriching and memorable summer for their two children.
