Talented Writer needed for Front Desk Manager Position
Our established, beautiful children's play space and prenatal parent club in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn is looking for a skilled writer to join our team!
This is a part-time position requiring flexible availability and at least 3 shifts per week commitment. Shifts are typically 8:30am-6pm or 11am-6pm with additional shift opportunities for birthday parties and events.

WHO WE ARE
We’re a stress free, membership-based indoor playspace in Williamsburg built for babies, toddlers, and their grown-ups.

Our Front Desk Managers work on site, greeting members and clients with joy, warmth, and respect daily. We care about our members, and take pride in having empathy and kindness while working hard and having fun.
