Ladies and gentleman, I finally have a job. I got a message from Seminole County Public Schools while I was on the cruise. We got in touch today and she said I can start today if I wanted to. I am officially an extended-day care "Child Care Provider". Holla.
My first day was interesting. There were about 100 or so kids and 6 adults. Some of the women working there were kind of terrifying, think tall, large women shouting at children to sit down and be quiet for the first 20 minutes. I chose a more quiet, and somewhat more effective method of pacing the tables and asking them to quiet down. I'm not sure that I would be happy with my kid getting screamed at if I were a parent. I think in some ways it was necessary to get control over the large group of children, but the shouting was a bit excessive.
It'll be good experience. We spend about an hour helping the kids with their homework by age group and then playing games and doing small activities. I was assigned to work with the 2nd graders which couldn't have been more perfect for me. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about that particular age group, so going over their work and looking at the activities/homework helps me see what level they're working on.
Everyone I work with seems friendly and the kids, though rambunctious, seem manageable. I am so thankful to be employed! It has really eased my mind.

What a great job for you! I think you would make an excellent 2nd grade teacher, that is the age group I thought about, or anything below them...my theory was, I would most likely know more then they did, lol! So glad you found a job, hopefully that will make life at least a wee bit less stressful!
