What about special education? Working one-on-one with kids who are having difficulty with reading/math/connecting with other students. Like Mrs. Hardman from Lakeridge.

Still a classroom...
And I don't feel cut out for working with special ed kids, either.

preschoolers? All play everyday? Or live-in nanny?

Preschool is still kind of a classroom and the pay, unfortunately, is pitiful. I mean, I'm aiding in a pre-k right now, and it's so much fun, and I look forward to it every Wednesday and Friday... but I'd probably end up living with my parents. Which they would not appreciate, I'm sure.

I was actually looking at a being at au pair in Spain last night after this post. But it's not a job, it's a "cultural exchange." And apparently, they don't want you after you're 30. And they said being a nanny requires some special training?

Become a pre-school teacher in Canada. Sure it's a classroom setting, but it's pretty much just a teacher's-salary based daycare. No teaching (in the typical school sense at least) involved.

lol, just 'cause I know it's the case here.
You also get a minimum 6 months of maternity leave when you have a baby... it's either 6 months or a year, I can't remember.

I'm sure the case involving more... play oriented preschools is in a lot of countries, but I just suggested Canada because I know about it already. lol.

Does the 6 month leave still apply if the baby is adopted?
