Babylist Is Hiring Remote Reps to Help New Parents Set Up Baby Registries

When I got pregnant, I bounded into a store convinced I was ready to register for precious onesies and a crib.

I broke down crying somewhere in the high chair aisle, overwhelmed by the sheer number of bottle warmers I had never considered before I had a bun in the oven.

Customer Service Representative at Babylist

Pay: Unspecified

Responsibilities include:

• Answering customer questions via phone and email
• Soothing soon-to-be parents who’ve just realized that pacifiers come in multiple sizes

Applicants for this position must have:

• Great writing and speaking skills, particularly when speed is of the essence
• Quiet space away from your own brood. Because the position is fast-paced and time-sensitive, the company doesn’t want you attempting to work and watch your kids at the same time.
• The ability to deal with formerly rational people who are now convinced they might accidentally kill their baby if they don’t choose the correct shopping cart cover.
