About Tend

At Tend, we believe that a little help can change someone's entire day.

We're building a new kind of household support company—one rooted in hospitality, trust, and genuine care for the people we serve.

Modern life is busy. Between careers, children, relationships, and everything else, many people don't need a full-time nanny or house manager—they simply need an extra set of hands.

That's where Tend comes in.

We thoughtfully match households with reliable Household Assistants who help with the everyday tasks that make a home feel lighter, calmer, and more manageable.

We're building more than a contractor network—we're building a community of thoughtful people who take pride in making someone else's life a little easier.

About the Role

We're looking for dependable, kind, detail-oriented Household Assistants to support busy professionals and families throughout Los Angeles.

This is flexible, contractor-based work where you choose your availability and accept bookings that fit your schedule.

No two days look exactly the same, but every visit shares one goal:

Leave the home feeling better than you found it.

Responsibilities

Depending on the household, responsibilities may include:

• Laundry (washing, folding, putting away)
• Light tidying and home resets
• Organizing closets, pantries, and living spaces
• Meal preparation
• Grocery shopping and errands
• Family support (children's laundry, toy organization, calendar keeping when requested)
• Preparing homes for guests or returning them to order after busy weeks
• Other light household assistance as requested

This is not a deep cleaning position.

We're Looking For People Who...

You naturally notice what needs attention.

You enjoy creating calm and order.

You genuinely care about helping others.

You're dependable, organized, and communicate well.

You understand that entering someone's home is built on trust.

You believe kindness and professionalism can exist together.

You don't just complete tasks—you create relief.

Qualifications

• Must live in Los Angeles County
• Reliable transportation and valid driver's license
• Ability to pass a criminal background check
• Eligible to work in the United States
• Excellent communication skills
• Professional, reliable, and punctual
• Comfortable working independently
• Able to lift up to 30 pounds

Experience in hospitality, childcare, household management, organizing, customer service, caregiving, or personal assistance is highly valued but not required.

Students & Parents Encouraged to Apply

This role is ideal for:

• College or graduate students needing flexible work
• Parents returning to the workforce

• Caregivers
• Hospitality professionals
• Nannies and cleaners looking for supplemental work

Our Values

Everything we do is guided by five principles.

Thoughtfulness

We notice the little things because the little things matter.

A Note From Our Founder

Tend was inspired by a simple realization: asking for help shouldn't feel like a luxury—it should feel like a smart investment in your well-being.

As a working mother and community leader, I've experienced firsthand how the right support can create more space for meaningful work, family, and rest. I've also seen the extraordinary impact that thoughtful, dependable people can have on someone's life.

We're building Tend with the belief that hospitality isn't reserved for hotels—it belongs in our homes, our neighborhoods, and the way we care for one another.

If you're someone who finds joy in helping others, values excellence, and wants to be part of building something meaningful from the ground up, we'd love to meet you.
