As a personal assistant, you will be assigned moms on the day of the shower and help them shop in our baby shower store. You may assist them by carrying bags as they pick out items, guide them through the various parts of the store (clothing, toys, high chairs, diapers, etc.) and ensure that all moms will pick out and receive their free gifts.

4. Food Services:

Assist with preparation of food and drinks the morning of the shower and with serving food during the lunch.
