staurday schools/universities/jobs (Charleston, North Charleston: daycare, how much, big home)

[sparklingstars]

Hi all


Sending out a post in case I can get some helpful advice. I'm trying to work on the weekends/online so I can stay home during the week for my baby. Hubby gets them after his work (8-5 job). We can't really live on his pay alone. Im trying hard to find a part-time position on Saturdays or online. I have a pretty good set of qualifications and can teach middle school through college and do research.I know Trident has online, evening and weekend classes but never called me for interview. Their adjunct pool post is about 4 years old. I guess they use a lot of internal candidates.
I'm at a point here we need to decide in about 2 months if we have to put Dear baby in a daycare atleast part-time. Can't just keep using savings... I just don't want to do that. Baby has had some medical issues in the past and would really rather care for him myself.


We want to wait atleast one more year for dear baby to grow up before putting him someone in a daycare.
After applying, interviewing and applying to so many places, I just decided to reach out for some suggestions...
Anyone knows of a school that is open on Saturdays? maybe a private school?


Thanks for reading.

Have you thought about tutoring privately?

How about online virtual teacher jobs? I did a quick search and found this one: https://www.indeed.com/q-Online-Teac...af006f6bde61f0

It's not an easy place to be in. Esp. in an area that has such high costs. If you put your child(ren) in daycare, how much do you have to make in order to offset that cost? Will you be working 3 days to break even on the childcare and netting only 2 days? Don't use your savings. If you have to find something out of your expertise then do it for the short term on the weekends. Do retail, be a waiter. Do an analysis on your spending and make some real calls. If housing is that expensive that two incomes are needed to merely live here, that's a red flag. I see a lot of peeps in my area of Mount Pretentious using their double incomes to pay for the big home and the vacations. If one has a health scare or problem it's bankruptcy.


I know I know.. I'm preaching about an area that wasn't asked.. I live very below my means and as a result my wife can take time with our newborn ad infinitum.


I'd notify local high schools and put tutoring notices on the bulletin boards are the local colleges and schools. go grassroots. Put a free ad on craigslist. I suspect a lot of full time faculty and teachers (esp. adjunct faculty) poach the students at their home institutions.

I think a number of people set up tutoring gigs simply by putting the word out on NextDoor.com, Facebook and Craigslist. Once a good reputation gets around, you'd probably have all the work you want.

Hmm-


I wonder if you could find employment with an after school program that could also accommodate your kids? It would be a nit of a niche to find a place that does both daycare and after school but there is always something one off.


There is a Low Country Graduate Center in North Charleston that does almost exclusively night/weekend courses but they seem to focus on specific career courses and actually use a fair number of existing professors from the local colleges.

My little one cannot be in a exposed to too many other kids to prevent infections. So the daycare setting position might not work. But I love the Low Country Graduate Center suggestion. Checking it out right now...Thank you!!
