Job Description
CareLuLu is seeking a ChildCare Advisor in the Washington DC metro area! You'll have full ownership of your work, and a direct positive impact on childcare businesses. You'll also be able to improve the quality of care for local families! We're a small team with no office politics or hierarchy. Here, a positive “get-it-done” attitude is valued and rewarded.
Much of your time will be spent visiting childcare providers. You will act mainly as a coach, offering guidance to help providers improve the quality of their program and become successful. You'll perform unannounced visits on site to ensure quality & safety, enforce partnership rules, and help ensure that State/County childcare licensing regulations are met.
This will not be an easy role, especially when providers don't follow licensing regulations or partnership rules.

Prepare clear, concise, comprehensive internal reports on the results of visits.
Prepare a set of actionable recommendations for providers to improve quality.

Be tenacious, high-energy, able to overcome objections during difficult situations and keep a positive attitude.
Outstanding social skills, communication skills and ability to think on your feet.
Be extremely attentive to details with consistent error-free execution.
Must have a vehicle and ability to travel to childcare programs through DC, MD and Northern VA.
Not required but a plus - you're fluent in Spanish.
Additional Information
Compensation/Benefits
We're a small team with a big mission to help improve access to safe, affordable, quality childcare and early education. You'll work in a collaborative setting, directly with the executive team. Benefits include competitive pay and a flexible environment (when not visiting facilities, you'll work from home and have flexibility/autonomy on hours.) This can be a part-time role, so candidates can shape their work schedule, and enjoy their free time with their children, family, or other part-time work.
How to apply?
Send an email to ******************* with the subject “Your Next ChildCare Advisor (Your Name)”. Include a detailed note explaining: 1) why you want to join CareLuLu, 2) why you'll be awesome in this specific role, and 3) why we absolutely need you over everybody else.
