About the Role

We're looking for a proactive, resourceful Personal Assistant to support both day-to-day personal matters and a wide range of tasks tied to the expansion of our childcare franchise. You'll thrive here if you take initiative, solve problems independently, and manage time and priorities like a pro.

Key Responsibilities

Franchise Expansion & Admin

Visit municipal offices to submit and follow up on permits, licenses, and related documentation. Draft, proofread, and respond to emails; manage inboxes and track follow-ups. Organize documents, maintain shared files, and keep project trackers up to date. Coordinate with vendors, landlords, contractors, and service providers. Conduct research (e.g., municipal requirements, comparative vendors, timelines) and present clear recommendations. Schedule meetings, maintain calendars, and prepare brief summaries or next-step lists.

Personal Support

Handle personal errands and logistics as needed (e.g., pickups, returns, appointment scheduling). Purchase supplies and manage small procurement tasks with receipts and basic expense tracking.
What We're Looking For

Initiative & resourcefulness:

You anticipate needs, propose solutions, and get things done with minimal oversight.

Time management & prioritization:

You can juggle multiple deadlines, triage tasks by urgency/importance, and reliably meet timelines.

Communication:

Clear, professional writing and a friendly, service-oriented demeanor.

Organization:

Strong attention to detail; you keep information tidy and easy to find.

Tech comfort:

Proficient with email, calendars, spreadsheets, and cloud drives (Google Workspace or similar).

Professionalism & discretion:

You handle sensitive information with care.
Nice to Have

Experience interfacing with municipalities (permits, licensing, inspections). Experience in childcare, education, real estate, or small-business operations. Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local errands/municipal visits.
Schedule & Pay

Pay:

$25-$30/hour, commensurate with experience.

Hours:

Minimum 15 hours/week; some days shorter, others longer, depending on task load; generally within typical working hours but not limited to them.
