• Organization & Documentation: manage records filing, and assist with documentation to support compliance and daily operations.
• Scheduling & Coordination: Arrange appointments, coordinate activities, and help organization events for a well-structured environment.
• Communication & Translation: Communicate clearly with staff, families, and partners; assist with Spanish/English translation when needed.
