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 child care programs through DC, MD and Northern VA.
Not required but a plus - you're fluent in Spanish.

Compensation/Benefits
We're a small team with a big mission to help improve access to safe, affordable, quality child care 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 Child Care 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.

BC Counseling Center's Holistic Approach to Mental Healthcare
At the Bellevue College Counseling Center, mental health and well-being are central to everything the counselors do. This focus is embedded across their workshops, outreach events, and classroom visits, where counselors share information about available services and address topics such as stress management, test anxiety, and other mental health-related concerns. They also engage with students at various campus events by staffing informational tables.
Counselors extend their support into the classroom by teaching Human Development (HD) courses, which emphasize mental health and student success topics such as self-esteem, stress management, learning strategies, personal relationships, motivation, assertiveness, and career exploration. These classes provide a structured and supportive environment for students to explore issues that are often discussed in individual counseling, but in a way that may feel more approachable due to the stigma surrounding one-on-one mental health services.
In addition to working directly with students, counselors consult with faculty and staff to support students who may be experiencing emotional challenges. These consultations help equip college personnel with the psychological insight needed to better assist their students.
The Counseling Center offers a full range of direct services, including individual counseling for personal, academic, career, and crisis-related concerns.
