I have been working full time with my son in preschool since he was 2 years old.
My husband's days off are rotated so he can't count on weekends, so I chose to work on weekends off myself.

When I was little, I sometimes had a fever, but my husband and I took turns taking a day off to get over it.
I took her to Summer Fun for the summer vacations and to Church's day care for the fall and winter vacations, so there were months
when I paid more for pre-school and day care than my salary.

I had a lot of similar coworkers at work, and I was never told by the company that I would be in trouble if I had to take time off because of my child's illness.

Well, my family cannot live on one horsepower, so I have to work full time,

Thank you for your response ！
I have recently been thinking about putting my child in a preschool, but I am thinking that full time is going to be difficult because of the unexpected amount of time off, but it is full time ！ Some months you have paid more than your salary. That's scary ！
What is church day care like ？ Are there places that still do that ？ If you don't mind, I would like to know where exactly you used.

I pay more for pre and day care than I get paid
My co-workers, they all go there.
But when you work full time, you get insurance, sick leave 🙂 and pay, and I'm glad I work there.
I could also use sickleave when my child was sick.

Day care was
We left ours at
Wisley Church behind Zippy's in Kahala.

They were available for summer and winter vacations as well as
single school vacations.

When my son was younger, I was able to leave him with them for a single session.

Thanks for the additional information ！
It sure is nice to know that full time is better for benefits such as sick leave.
Thanks for the information on daycares that will see you on a one-time basis ！ I'm not sure if everyone uses babysitters or something else.

When my children were younger, I worked full time for a media company, leaving them in preschool. I tried working full time for about 2 years, but the company didn't understand people with children, and I felt uncomfortable leaving early when my child was sick, I also had to work overtime because I was always on deadline in the media industry, so it became difficult to balance work and family. In addition, I have two online stores. I started this one when my child was a baby, and I think I will keep doing it until I become a grandmother because I have complete control over shipping, procedures, etc. according to my family's schedule ！ In terms of income, my husband is the mainstay, but I am always happy to be able to contribute in some way.

My oldest child was in a community center in Waikiki from age 0 and I worked full time, but with my second child, I worked part time without afterschool care until he was 3.　I had WESLEY in Kahala, Lucerne in Punahou to take care of them on a one-time basis when needed.

I see that Lutheran Church also has a single session ！ I was just wondering if they have a preschool here too, as I saw a playground when I passed by there recently.
Thanks for the info ！

I don't have any relatives over here that I can rely on, but I want to go out to work, and I am currently raising a 1 year and 8 month old.

Since February, I have been working part-time at a pub from Friday to Sunday, three times a week, with a nanny watching over me at night.
I pay the sitter $20 per hour, so I pay her half or more of my part-time work.
My husband is busy and comes home late at night, so I cannot watch him.
（ I am a one-person job every day, so even though the cost of a sitter is high, I think it is a great benefit
because it gives me a break and also my confidence when I go back to society after all. ）

From now on, I would like to leave my child at a pre-school and work full time during the day.
But I still think it will be difficult unless the company is very understanding.

I would like to get child care support when I start working full time, but
if I add my full time income to my husband's income,
I don't think I can get support.

We are a family of three and the gross income limit for support is
in the $5800 range.
It's not unusual to pay close to $2000 for a very old apartment to live in Hawaii ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・
（ We still live in a studio apartment, which is a little less expensive. apartment. ）

I was just wondering what everyone else is doing ・ ・ ・

Back to the subject, if your husband is at home at night,
how about a part-time job in a restaurant at night? ？
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to get a part-time job in a restaurant at night.
Also, I would appreciate any advice you might have for my post.

#10 Thank you for your comment ！
You are doing a very good job of doing your own research ！
I guess it's true that in a restaurant you can get tips ？
but the sitter fee is hourly ＄. 20? That's expensive.
I'm a little lucky in that my husband knows someone who rents an apartment for a little less, so I can keep the rent down and just work for my own pocket money, so I'm sure I can find something part-time, but I'm not sure what I would do during school holidays if it were full-time. But some of the other people who have commented that there are places that will take care of them on a one-time basis, and full time is more attractive because of the benefits such as sick leave.

My children are now independent, but when they were young, I worked part-time for a major Japanese travel agency. Since the company had a large number of employees, many of those without children or those who had finished raising their children preferred to take weekdays off, and many of them avoided the high season when they temporarily returned to Japan, so it was easy for me to take time off to coincide with my children's vacation, even while raising my children.

I was able to find a preschool where I could leave my child for half a day or only a few times a week, instead of every day, and I was able to save money on preschool because I could leave my child there on my own time.

Once they start going to school, afterschool programs such as A-Plus allow you to leave your child with them directly after school until the evening. We also had them participate in child care programs during long breaks such as spring and winter break. If you do a search, you will find many different places that offer fun programs. However, only during winter vacation, most child care services are closed between Christmas and New Year's Day, so they cannot take care of children. I am glad that I was able to work even a little while my children were young so that I could increase the amount of pension I would receive in my old age.

It certainly seems like a company with a lot of employees would have an easier time getting time off for vacations. Some people want weekdays off. ！
I know A Plus exists, but I am concerned because I have heard from someone with an elementary school child that there are not enough teachers for the number of people who want to be placed there and they are not in a position to accept all who wish to be there.
I see that there is also a child care program. Well, I think it will be a little while before we can find out that much more about the post-kindergarten thing, because I think the situation will change by then. There is also the possibility of another Corona-like situation coming. So it gets difficult during the New Year's holiday. In that case, I guess we would have to hire a sitter. But if your child is around 12 years old, you can leave the child at home and go to work.

I work at the school my child attends.

I worked in the tourism industry until I gave birth, but left after the birth to raise my child as a stay-at-home mom. I started looking for a job when my child started kinder. Working at a school is very easy for me while raising my child because I can take weekends, holidays, and spring, summer, fall, and winter off.

Until my kids went to pre, I worked from home plus nights. I had a sales job that allowed me to work short hours after my husband, who worked full time, came home. It was a time when I didn't have the luxury of being too choosy about what I did.

After I was able to send my child to pre, I was able to get a job that I wanted to do and that allowed me to utilize my skills. Although the working environment is client-driven, I feel very secure in my mentality while raising my children. Good luck ！

If you don't mind my asking, I would like to ask what kind of work you do at the school. If it is a public school, did you find the position on the DOE website and apply for it? ？ I have called the school directly and was told that they could not help me and that I would have to apply for the position if it was available.

If the school you are interested in is hiring, you can apply on their website with your name, address, educational background, and work experience. After that, I was contacted directly by the school for an interview by phone and email. （ I also received a letter from DOE accepting my application. ） After interviewing with the principal and his office, I was informed about the background check and TB test, and then I had to complete all those procedures and wait for the school to contact me again.
