To any child nursery workers...........?

Question

Is the salary good value for the job you do because I know it is a very poor rate and is it easy to live off the amount you receive?

Answer 1

It depends on the location to how well they pay.  I live in the south east and I make less than $10 an hour.  I'm in my early 20's and I am married with no kids.  This is great spending money and I help pay a few small bills like gas, cell phone, and grocery's.  It is rewarding and  it has given me a lot of knowledge about children.  If you budget your money you might make it.  I'm still in college and am hoping to have a better paying job later on.  The only down side is that some parents make me feel like their hired help and they try to put me down a lot.  I try not to let it bother me.  Not all of them are that way but you do run into a few.  You have to have a lot of patience to work in this field but I enjoy it.  Good Luck.

Answer 2

Answer 3

It depends on where you work, the type of setting, and your education and experience. I work at a child care/ early head start center.  I make very good money for my field and also get great benefits which include excellent health insurance for myself, my husband and our two children ( i only pay $20 a week premiums) excellent vacation and sick time, and  I also get to bring my children to work with me (I do have to pay full amount for that though).  I do have my bachelor's degree in early childhood and I am the "lead teacher" so I have a lot of responsibility in the room.  Including staff schedules, staff evaluations, parent visits, developmental screenings, etc.  So, to sum it up, yes you can make a living out of it, you just have to find the right place to work.  They may be few and far between, but they are out there. I know I am very fortunate to have the job that I do.  I also know I am one of few people who can honestly say that I truly LOVE my job.  I work with infants and it is the best!!!
