Daycare teacher position full time

I have a 5 month old baby, single mom. I currently work at a coffee shop 5 hours a day and live 1 hour away. I just got a job offer for a daycare teacher full time 9 hours with a hour lunch, 3 min down the street. So I would still be super far away and only making 16.70 a hour. I want to do it because I would love to go to work with my baby but it takes sooo much more out of our day and for so little money ): I love kids though and I feel like I would be really great for it. It’s just hard I am literally frozen idk what to do 🥲 part of me wants to so bad but the other doesn’t at all

Would it be possible to try it out and if you don’t like it or if it’s too much, go back to the coffee shop? I’m sure it would be amazing to take your baby with you! However, if the pay would make it really not worth then maybe not. Do the math to see if the longer days would bring you in any extra income to make the change worthwhile!

@Shayla it would bring in ALITTLE bit more. And it’s like if I try it out then I would have to quit my coffee shop job. UNLESSS I just said I was sick 👀👀👀👀👀 that’s a good idea honestly!

I’m going through the same thing. I am a SAHM at the moment and have been considering going into a daycare position but the pay where I live is horrible. The most I have seen is 12 an hour which wouldn’t make sense if I also have to enroll my baby at the same daycare. Thats basically half my check gone 😭. I am trying to get a WFH position first tho.

@Shemmka most places if you work at a daycare it’s free if you have state help or like super cheap!

@Jenna it might be worth a shot! Write out your pros and cons for each one!

I think I’m gonna look for daycare near me

I’ve been in early childhood for over 20 plus years. The ones I have worked at wasn’t free to take my child and for me to work there. I wish there was a place similar or provide a big discount. The childcare I worked at gave me a discount of 20 % off. When I had this lo I almost went back to a daycare setting but decided not to. I do miss it❤️
