Junior Virtual Assistant

At Enlightening Motherhood, we help parents of neurodivergent children build emotional resilience and stronger family relationships through online classes, coaching, and education. We're a small, heart-centered team doing big things — and we're growing.

We're looking for a reliable, detail-oriented VA who takes ownership of their work and loves bringing order to a creative, mission-driven space.
_______

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Video editing and clipping using Riverside/Capcut
• Creating social media graphics and thumbnails in Canva
• Scheduling and repurposing content across platforms
• Uploading and organizing course content in Thrivecart and Skool
• Supporting general admin and operations as the business grows

TOOLS WE USE
Descript · Canva · Metricool · Google Workspace · Slack · Asana · Thrivecart · Heartbeat · Flodesk · WordPress · ChatGPT · Zoom

We don't expect you to know all of them. We do expect you to figure them out.

_______________

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

You do what you say you will do
You message ahead of time — not after — if something comes up
When you hit a tech problem, you search, try, and figure it out before asking for help
You check your work before submitting it
You catch mistakes — yours or a teammate's — and fix them or flag them kindly
You speak up when you have a question, a struggle, or an idea
You are honest, even when it's uncomfortable
You are kind, even when you're correcting someone

This is NOT the right role for you if:

You say yes but then don’t follow through. You agree to be available and then go quiet without any message.
You avoid a task when it feels hard or overwhelming instead of asking for help.
You get stuck on a tech problem and instead of trying to figure it out yourself, you stop working and wait for someone to solve it for you.
You rush through work and don’t check it before submitting.
When you spot a mistake, yours or someone else’s, you ignore it instead of fixing it.
You don’t speak up when you notice something needs attention, or you struggle to point things out kindly.
You keep your struggles to yourself instead of communicating them.
You notify us last minute that you are unavailable.
You’ll be double-tasking while working—simultaneously taking care of kids, prepping meals, or managing other responsibilities.
You skip parts of instructions or move too fast and miss important details.

If any of that sounds like you, please don’t apply. We mean that kindly—this just isn’t the right fit, and that’s okay. We would rather both of us find the right match than waste each other’s time.

A few things that matter to us that you won’t find in most job posts

We serve a community of parents who are already exhausted. They come to us because their neurodivergent kids deserve better tools—and so do they. That means the work we do has to be done with care. A task that gets rushed or half-finished doesn’t just create a to-do list problem, it affects real families.

Our team moves fast, thinks creatively, and sometimes needs people who can catch what falls through the cracks without being asked. If you need every detail spelled out before you can move, this won’t feel good for either of us. But if you love bringing order to a creative, mission-driven space and can think on your feet, you will thrive here.

We also use a lot of tools. Not because we love complexity, but because we’re a small team doing big things. We don’t expect you to know all of them. We do expect you to figure them out without needing us to walk you through every step.

We are not a difficult team to work with. We are supportive, we celebrate good work, and we want you to succeed. But we need someone we can trust completely, because we will not be checking on you every hour. You will have real responsibility here, and we want you to own it.

Growth of this role

This contract begins part-time at 5–10 hours per week. We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with us. As the business expands and you prove yourself in this role, we anticipate this engagement increasing in both scope and hours with the potential to grow toward 20+ hours per week and beyond as you develop your expertise and we scale.

We are genuinely looking for a long-term hire. We want to invest in someone who is invested in us. If you are looking for a genuine opportunity to help build something meaningful while growing your own skills, this may be exactly what you’re looking for.

This role requires someone who enjoys bringing order to operations, taking ownership, and continuously improving how things work. If you prefer simply completing assigned tasks rather than improving how things work, this role will likely feel frustrating.
