My Panda

Charlottesville, VA • On-site

$15 - $22/hr

Job description

Make money helping neighbors. Set your own schedule.

Looking for flexible, meaningful work that fits around your life - not the other way around?

At My Panda, we believe in empowering communities through trusted, local support. Using our mobile app, we connect reliable assistants - called Personal Assistants Next Door (PANDAs) - with people in their neighborhoods who need help with day-to-day tasks.

Our services help keep life manageable for busy families, seniors, and individuals who need an extra hand and appreciate a personalized, community-based approach. We’ve proudly served clients in the Atlanta area for over 5 years and are now launching in Charlottesville.

This is on-demand, part-time, flexible gig work where you choose when and how much you work.

Why You’ll Love Being a Panda

  • Set your own schedule – work when it fits your life

  • Choose the tasks you accept – no required minimum hours

  • Get paid weekly - competitive hourly rates

  • Make a real difference for local families and neighbors

  • Community Impact – Be part of a company focused on local economic growth, supporting small businesses, and strengthening neighborhood connections

This role is perfect if you’re a:

  • Parent with flexible daytime availability

  • Recent graduate looking for extra money while job searching

  • Caregiver or service-oriented professional

  • Freelancer or gig worker looking for reliable, local work

  • Anyone who enjoys helping others and staying active

What You’ll Do

Tasks vary based on client needs and may include:

  • Errands (grocery runs, returns, pickups)

  • Household tasks like laundry & organizing

  • Light admin or personal tasks

  • Pet-related help (walking, transport)

  • Event or move support

  • Other everyday “life help” tasks

You’ll accept jobs through the My Panda app based on your availability and preferences.

What We’re Looking For

  • A genuine desire to help others and make a positive impact

  • Dependable, trustworthy, and professional

  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills

  • Ability to take initiative and work independently

  • Reliable transportation and a flexible schedule

  • Must be 21 years or older

  • Able to pass a comprehensive background check

No formal experience required - reliability and desire to help and to care matter most.

Why My Panda Is Different

My Panda was founded by a working mom who needed help - and couldn’t find trustworthy, local support. We’re built on community, trust, and flexibility, not gig-economy burnout.

We’re intentionally growing our Charlottesville Panda team, and early Pandas often get first access to future opportunities.

Ready to Join the Panda Community?

Apply today to be considered as one of our foundational Charlottesville Pandas.
