Ugh not taking the daycare job I was offered bc after taxes and paying my 50% off daycare I will be…

But you’ll be paying taxes which you’ll get a return on and also means you’ll be paying into social security for retirement. You’ll have benefits. You’ll also have something to put on your resume and a job you can grow with....

@laniejay, yes while all that is true I decided it’s not worth being responsible for 10 kids by myself (lead teacher) and away from my kids from 8a-630p everyday for the same amount as right now. I’m able to be there for them and make dinner, clean ect whereas if I took the job we wouldn’t get home till 7pm everyday, our routines would all drastically change and my financial situation would not improve at all whatsoever

Try to find daycare that will give you a spot for your kids free while working there. Some daycares actually do that.

@jovromero, hmm I didn’t know that! A different facility offered me higher pay but the childcare was more expensive. So it balanced out to be the same.

@heidi3581 yes it depends on the owners as well.
