Pros

The hourly pay is very good compared to typical school support roles. Short shifts make it easy to balance with school or family. The kids are fun, energetic, and you form connections quickly. Simple, straightforward responsibilities once you get used to the routine.

Cons

Extremely limited hours — hard to rely on as a main source of income. The workplace politics can be stressful. Some adults behave more like the kids than the kids do. Communication between staff isn’t always clear or consistent. Hard to feel long-term stability or growth in this type of role.
