• Managing a complex calendar across personal, academic, medical, and professional commitments


• Coordinating medical care and advocating for the principal when needed, always with discretion


• Researching and organizing information to support informed decisions, from healthcare to next steps in her career


• Handling day-to-day personal logistics, errands, and household organization


• Anticipating needs and quietly resolving problems before they arise


• Serving as a steady, thoughtful presence, especially during stressful or difficult moments Who We're Looking For


• Undergraduate degree required, with genuine intellectual curiosity and the ability to hold substantive conversations


• Highly proactive with excellent judgment and common sense; comfortable solving problems independently


• Warm, compassionate, and emotionally perceptive, with the composure to navigate anxiety or difficult moments alongside her


• Discreet, trustworthy, and deeply respectful of privacy and autonomy


• Comfortable supporting someone with physical and medical needs


• Seeking a long-term position and genuinely interested in building a lasting working relationship
