I worked today!

[lenshanem]

Been a stay at home mom for almost seven years now since right before my oldest was born and today I worked outside the home and got paid! (Although it was very little!)
They asked for subs at my youngest's preschool and I called yesterday to sign up. This morning I got a call - rather quick, don't ya think?!?
Cute little kids, I helped out with the young threes. The hours couldn't be more perfect! Oldest was in school and I took my youngest with me and dropped her off at her class next door. I was thinking about assisting at a preschool once my youngest starts Kindergarten in a couple years and this was a nice start!

Just wanted to share!

Congratulations! It sounds like the perfect arrangement.

Congrats! That's the kind of thing I'm thinking about doing when my youngest gets into school. She'll only be 1 on Thurs. so it will be a while! LOL! Then I can be home when they all get home from school.

When my youngest was little, I went from subbing to teaching two days a week. Worked out great and produced a little $.

I would love to do that if my daughter starts preschool. I had taught at a preschool before with two year olds up to elementary and it is fun.
What did you do in your classroom today?

I've also done this at our preschool. I like it a lot and a good way to make a little extra $.

Congrats

I love little children and that sounds like so much fun. I worked at a preschool part time in high school and college.

Sounds very nice, Shan. That's great!!!!

Thanks everyone. I hope they liked me. I would like to keep subbing until my youngest goes to Kindergarten, then maybe I can get a more permanent job at a preschool, hopefully there!

It is great, I leave the house around 7:30 to take my oldest to school, then preschool starts at 9:00 and goes to 12:00, 1:00 if it is a lunch bunch day. Then my oldest gets home from the bus at 2:30. How perfect! Both the school and preschool are ACROSS the street from each other and both are about two minutes from my house. Couldn't ask for a better set up.

I am on the sub list for only the days my youngest goes right now - three days a week. I really hope they use me again!

My youngest did pretty well with me there, her class was on the playground the same time as us and it wasn't a problem.


mommytotwo, it was a busy day since it was music day, but we did centers including play-doh, snack, playground, group time and a craft - making sheep out of cotton balls. That age is really cute, they still look like babies, but are getting more independent. There were ALOT of potty trips, though!

I subbed at my kid's preschool too (and now I sub at their elementary school). Jobs come up every year or so at the preschool and I always get asked. I've been tempted because preschool is a lot of fun - it just doesn't pay as much as my other options.
