[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What jobs do paraeducators typically have over the summer when school is closed?[/quote]

They don't get paid during any of the MCPS days off (vacations, holidays, summer etc). Since their earning potential during the school year is so limited, many of them try to find summer work. Some of them babysit, nanny or work for KAH or Bar Tee. [/quote]

I know a bunch of former SAHM who work as paras. For them it's not the money (because it's peanuts) but a way to get out of the house and re-enter the workforce. Some of them have gone on to become teachers. The good thing with SAHMs is that all the ones I know are pretty well educated-many with advanced degrees etc., They mostly don't mind the days off and summer break. Obviously there are paras who need the money but[b] it's really hard to justify being a para and making less than your kid does babysitting plus most have no benefits[/b].[/quote]
Especially when you can be a para for Howard Co PS. They get benefits including snow days, sick days, etc.[/quote]
