Retail + Events Assistant
About Us
Marley & Moose is a children’s boutique rooted in imagination, community, and meaningful play. We host hands-on camps, story-based classes, and private events that bring families together through creativity, connection, and calm chaos (the good kind).
We’re a small, close-knit team, and most of our staff have been with us since we opened almost 3 years ago. We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with us long-term, not just fill a seasonal gap.
The Role
We are hiring a Retail + Events Assistant (Part-Time) to support both in-store retail operations and our growing schedule of camps, classes, and private events.
This role is a hybrid retail employee and event assistant supporting our camp and event programming, especially during the summer season.
You’ll be part of a team that brings energy, structure, and warmth to busy, joy-filled spaces for children of all ages—from toddlers through elementary school.
What You’ll Do
Support summer camps and private children’s events (birthdays & baby showers)
Assist during weekly classes and in-store programming
Help set up, reset, and maintain event/class spaces
Retail store staffing and customer support
- Cleaning & organizing store spaces
- Inventory tracking & auditing
Who You Are
We’re looking for someone who feels naturally aligned with a space full of kids, creativity, and movement, you:
- Bring a warm, grounded, high-energy presence
- Are calm in chaos (or excited by it, not overwhelmed by it)
- Thrive in community-centered environments
- Are open, flexible, and eager to learn
- Are not rigid, overly shy, or uncomfortable in dynamic group settings
- Genuinely enjoy working with humans of all ages
- Want to grow into more responsibility over time
- Technical enough to master our POS system & troubleshoot basic technical issues
Experience in childcare, education, athletics, camps, or customer-facing roles is a plus, but energy and attitude matter most.
Availability
- Part-time position, 8-12 hours per week to start (camp weeks up to 24 hours)
- Schedule is somewhat flexible, but must be able to work one weekday 12-6 & weekends required (daytime and/or early evening) as well as camp weeks
- Long-term availability is strongly preferred
Compensation
$18–$22 per hour, depending on experience and availability
