[quote=Anonymous]The paras at the ES where I work are great. They care deeply about the kids & try their best to support the teachers & school. Paras are not paid during days that students have off. That means spring break & holidays no pay. They are not paid during 30 min lunch break (which is sometimes cut short due to coverage needs). A lot pf the paras are under tpt designation (temporary part-time, which can apply even for someone working full school day 5 days a week). The tpt don’t have benefits like paid sick leave, health insurance, etc.

Some of these paras have to change diapers as part of their job, they might get scratched or biten or have to chase after kids who elope. It’s not an easy job.
 
I know some paras who worked previously as nannies & made the switch to para in order to have similar hours as their own kids. As paras they are making less money & dealing with all sorts of responsibilities (much more than caring for a few kids in the comfort of a home).
