I have been a SAHM for 8 years now and the last of my kiddos will be going to kindergarten in the Fall. Although I am very happy and sad I am looking forward to working outside of the home. The only job that will fit our family is a job at a school. I want to be able to be home during the summer and hang out with my 3 boys.
I am just curious if there are any school cafeteria workers out there? And if so...do you like it? Although I know the pay can't be that great it is the only job I can think of that is part time during the school year and I would love to make a little extra money for savings and/or vacation. My background is in administrative work, but I believe most of those jobs are full time.
Most of the jobs in our schools at this point are volunteer jobs (including lunch/cafeteria which has only one paid position) but I DID manage to land a paying part time position as a classroom aide for a few years.
Good luck, I also have administrative skills, lots of volunteer experience AND a BA degree and let me tell you, it's tough out there :(
i work at my daughters school. my hours are 10;30- 1;15 (2 3/4 hours total a day). i get paid a little of 13 dollars an hour. but with the district i work in we get a set amount every month. i bring home just under 600 a month. its not a bad job to have i really enjoy it. all i needed was a food handlers card for the job. i did test for this position and did all the interveiwing for it. there are 2 other ladies that work with me. one is the manager and the other is the split shift worker.
I am going through the same thing. I just applied for the one in my local school district. As far as I know, the one here you just have to have a high school diploma and I think be able to get a food handlers certificate. It would be so great to find something that's part time and works with our kids schedules!
I have a friend who just started as a non-teaching sub. She has worked in the cafeteria, computer lab, library and as a clinic aid. She works when the kids are in school and can turn down an assignment if she has other things to do. She loves it.
Check into it at your district. I think she talked to the board of education to get all the information about it.
Good Luck!
Look on the school's HR list.
I was a substitute teacher and was paid $110 per day. You could also be a teacher's aid or a crossing guard.
You could also work part time at a fastfood restaurant or something similar.
Good luck to you and yours.
I know that my son's cafeteria lady (only one it is a small school) has a degree in nutrition, it may be a job that requires that now. I would look into it further, but our cafeteria lady LOVES her job.
My mom is the food service manager at our local high school. She LOVES her job. She is the only one that is full time though. All of the other people that come in and help prepare and serve the food are part time. I worked as as sub (Coming in when one of the other part timers were sick or on vacation) and I got paid $9 an hour for about 3 hours every day I was there. It was a great job :)
