My cousins are early elementary majors in college and are looking for jobs like these. One has her BA and is in a masters program and the other is a junior. They could easily do this job while still doing their distance learning college. They haven’t found as good of part time jobs as this

There are no benefits. Benefits would be retirement or health insurance neither of which this family is paying. In addition an entire month of no pay.

What don’t you get? Plenty of people are okay with that. Especially my cousins like I mentioned otherwise they’re working at Home Goods (Bad hours) and babysitting for $15 an hour on the weekends.

Sounds reasonable to me.

They sound like a preschool teacher would be fine. Or, an community college certificate or degree. $24 hour is a good offer. How much do you need to prep for little ones? Parents can provide the activities and workbooks.

Right, it seems like they want an out of work daycare/preschool teacher. That doesn't mean someone with tons of education. A lot of people are in flux right now and want something with fewer hours/less covid exposure. I don't think they'll struggle to fill this.

I have a friend who is an RN looking for nanny jobs right now because she doesn't want covid exposure, but also has kids out of school. This kind of schedule would be great for her, with her husband covering a relatively small window.

You friend has 2+ years of paid work as a nanny or in a daycare or preschool? She not only got her nursing degree, she threw in ECE too?

A person isn’t automatically qualified due to having their own kids and having a different degree

My point was lots of people are re-considering their life situation, not that an RN can teach preschool. But an RN (pediatric ER RN specifically) can absolutely teach preschool.

You’re not paying attention. The family want 2+ years of experience in a certain setting, and you’re saying just anyone will do. They want a certain type of education, not any random degree.

I’m sure your friend is great. I’m also sure she’s not used to preparing curriculum for prereading.

No, you’re not understanding my point. If there are displaced pediatric RNs looking for lower risk lower stress job situations, there are certainly displaced preschool teachers (AKA daycare workers).

Two years of working at a day care, preschool or summer camp is not unreasonable request. 10 years, unreasonable, 2 is reasonable.

Can't even live in the city off this income. Sad parents. You get what you pay for.

This is an old thread and I assume that these parents have either found or not their nanny. In any case, the job is for 15 weeks and could be filled by part timers or someone looking for additional income to their retirement or similar type situation.

I'm willing to bet this person has real estate valued over $3 million collectively. Living on Capitol Hill is NOT cheap and then renovating a whole house at the same time?

I'd be willing to do this at $45/hr and you auto-pay my health insurance every month. Freaking cheapskates.

anything with a Rihanna meme must mean its legit!

and I agree, PAY UP. shit, sell a house if you have to.

I'm most upset about them shipping their two kids away for a month so they can "settle in" with the new baby. WOW, sounds like a great way to make the kids resentful of the new baby.

Eh we found an educator to come last spring for 3 hours a day for $25/hour (she was actually only asking for $20 but I insisted on paying her more). She was amazing.

I would have done this in grad school, to be honest. I'd stack my classes in the morning and then do my homework/reading at night.

Grad school provided health insurance, and 1400/month from working 3 hours a day with a couple of kids would have been more than $10K that I didn't have to borrow in student loans.
