I am a freshmen in college in Massachusetts. My major is elementary education and I am looking for a job. I would like a job that is flexible with a college schedule and involving being around children (any age). Is there a job out there that can fit my needs?
How would I got about apply for these jobs as well?

I would suggest tutoring for a job. At most places, hours are very flexible, depending on your schedule. Usually, you won’t start until 4:00 in the afternoon on weekdays, and weekends are pretty much up to you. Most tutoring places that will hire you will look at your class schedule and assign you to students who would fit within that schedule. Another option is to work at a kid’s gym. Check out “My Gym” by googling it. There may be locations near you. It’s a gym that focuses on gross and fine motor development for children. It’s a little bit outside the normal sphere of education, but it still applies, as this development is important to understanding learning. Good luck and happy job hunting!

Doesn’t your college have an office which seeks employment for students who are willing to work part time ? No job bulletin board ? How about the fast food places ? There may be places where children are placed while parents work, or like kiddie schools, pre school etc. who may accommodate you.

Preschool, child care, after school care, subbing when you get your requirements, coaching a kids team, etc. Look in your local paper for any openings. Call local schools or centers where there may be a opening available and simply ask.
