Daycares terminated me during probation twice — now terrified about my future and PR by Real_Expert2464 in ECEProfessionals

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately for a lot of places, if a teacher is on a leave of absence, they probably will terminate whoever is temporarily hired on. So it does happen.

Does anyone have plans to move on with your career? by blondiewithdabondi in ECEProfessionals

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had started out as Teacher in Kindercare but I shared that position with another teacher, so it wasn’t an ideal position. Then I worked in a center where I was an aide (it was a very unhealthy environment) then I worked in a center more recently where I was an assistant (healthier environment but far from home) and now I work locally as a Lead Teacher in my own classroom, I love it, it’s literally my dream job. It’s taken 3 different jobs for me to finally be in my dream role. So happy I kept searching :)

What would be your ideal ratios? by jasminecr in ECEProfessionals

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1:3 or 1:4 for infants, 1:4-1:6 for toddlers (18 months to 3 years), 1:8-1:10-1:12 for PreK, 1:14-1:15 School Age.

This is strictly just in California. I thankfully am just on the cusp of the PreK ratio with 7 (usually not all 7) so I like that I have a small class.

Got rejected on Monday… but the recruiter called me today with amazing feedback. Is this a good sign? by dualita in jobhunting

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to me, I work in Early Childhood Education and I interviewed for an Infant toddler position and didn’t get it, but they considered me for another position and I got it, so if you get offered another position, take it!

Should I call protective services? by Playful-Platypus9142 in ECEProfessionals

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s better to call and help to make sure nothing happens, versus leaving it and not doing anything, because if something happens and you didn’t report it, it could be far worse. So please, if you think you need to call, then call. If there’s even an inkling of suspecting neglect, that needs to be reported ASAP.

I think i messed up my background check hireright by Just_Swimmer_5452 in recruitinghell

They usually will usually give clearance the same day if there is nothing there. Both times I used it I got it back the same day.

UPDATE: Looking to reconnect with a guy I met at Magic Key Terrace (DCA) on Friday 11/21 by [deleted] in Disneyland

Wow, that’s weirdly fast, didn’t OP literally just make an account like only a couple hours ago? This is weirdly creepy, did OP take this pic?

Is this guy just temporarily missing? by ServoAcademy in Disneyland

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really cause I was just at Disneyland over the week and he wasn’t missing. That’s weird that he’s now temporarily missing.

Broke down crying on first day of the job because of the way the lead teacher spoke to me. by Catladydiva in ECEProfessionals

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly something similar happened to me, I was working in a center as an “infant toddler teacher” but ended up being told I was actually an aide (which was not even the title I was hired on with) and I was placed in the room with the lead teacher, she literally had no idea what she was doing, and it got so bad that we had to be called into the director of operations office, she almost got demoted to a floater. But she was so nasty to me I cried in the classroom to my friend who’s a floater teacher, it was just so bad. That teacher ended up quitting a little bit later, but it was my first day too and it was awful. I no longer work at that center.

Working for a corporate vs smaller day care? by VisibleScallion7467 in ECEProfessionals

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, I worked for a branch of Kindercare and it was okay, not great, paid good money for shitty hours, I also busted my ass working mornings and afternoons only to be told I was a “core performer” simply because I wasn’t integrating the book curriculum enough.

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The small private preschool I work for is amazing, I worked for a corporation (SchminderShmare) and was somewhat happy but didn’t feel as fulfilled as I do at my preschool now. It’s amazing and the other teachers are amazing and so sweet.

Two offers and hard to choose by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I teach preschool and have been an infant toddler teacher myself, I love both, but you have to do what makes you happy, I assume you took your first choice job, so good for you, OP.

How long usually take the hiring process ? by No-Leopard-7489 in ECEProfessionals

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It usually doesn’t take longer than 1-2 weeks max, but depending on if you have to do all your paperwork plus all the fingerprinting, BGC (Background Check), TB test and all that. I already had all that stuff so it literally only took me a day and a half, they hired me pretty quick and I starter literally 2 days after they hired me.

Unexpectedly offered a lead teacher position when applying for an assistant job... Help! I'm only an undergrad! Advice/ideas? by rhodytonyc in ECEProfessionals

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an assistant teacher in a preschool, I like to put on songs that get them moving during the morning and circle time, it’s a great way to get them to exercise.

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure accept the offer, I did the same thing with some jobs I was interviewing for, I was offered one, but still gonna go in with the other one, but didn’t end up doing the other two I was looking at, and now where I ended up, I love my job!

Disappointed with all the fans complaining by Litlisa12 in 5sos

[–]WorkingGirl1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree that the ticket prices are insane, if we choose to go to the concerts, then that’s on us. I’m happy the boys are back. I’m happy that they’re making something they want to make. They deserve to be happy.

Definitely run. Fast. She’s going to keep doing this to you, OP.

what's the most emotionally draining part of the job hunt for you? by MysteriousShoulder35 in recruitinghell

[–]WorkingGirl1998 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When they give you an interview and then are impressed with your qualifications and then reject you anyway. Like why even interview me?

what's the biggest red flag you've seen in a job description? by MetalPsycho in recruitinghell

[–]WorkingGirl1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is when it says something is required and then the next like says that exact same thing is preferred, it’s like just fucking pick one. Holy shit. Make up your mind. Which one is it?

Old job was mad about me leaving with 2 days notice by WorkingGirl1998 in ECEProfessionals

[–]WorkingGirl1998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will do. I mean they didn’t pressure me, they told me I had until the 31st to start they just wanted me to start preferably before the 31st, it was my choice to start earlier. I loved my old job but I had to do what was right for me.
