Job description

This is a remote position.




Calling All Local Experts: Get Paid to Share Your Family Adventures!

Do you know exactly which park has the cleanest bathrooms? Is your camera roll 90% "hidden gems" and 10% blurry photos of your kids eating ice cream?

Mommy Poppins—the ultimate resource for family fun—is looking for savvy, creative parents to join our team of Local Writers. We want the "in the know" parents who love discovering the best things to do in their city and want to get paid to spread the word.


The Gig in a Nutshell:

This isn't your typical 9-to-5. It’s a flexible, creative outlet designed to fit between school drop-offs and soccer practice.

  • Write & Review: Craft engaging articles about the best playgrounds, kid-friendly cafes, and weekend events in your area.

  • Take Great Pics: Snap high-quality photos. Bonus if you can also film quick, fun Reels/TikToks while you’re out exploring with your family!

  • Be the Expert: Share your authentic "mom-hacks" for navigating local attractions.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Total Flexibility: Work from your couch (or the carpool lane).

  • VIP Access: Get invited to press previews, museum openings, and cool local events.

  • Build Your Brand: See your name and creative content featured on a platform that reaches millions of parents.

  • Cash for Fun: Turn your family outings into a paycheck.

Who You Are:

  • You live for a good weekend itinerary.

  • You have a sharp eye for photography and catching fun moments that make people feel like they are there with you.

  • You’re a clear, witty writer who can tell a story without the fluff.

  • You’re already the "go-to" person in the group chat for local recommendations.


Ready to join the fun?

Don’t just do it for the 'gram—do it for the community (and the extra coffee money).

Apply Now: Fill out our application and don't forget to answer the Assessment questions so we can best place you!




Requirements
  • Live in the Houston, TX, or surrounding areas.

  • Compensation is a flat fee of $50 per post & $50 per reel (negotiable after 6 months).
