Looking for a part-time job that's genuinely fun, works around your schedule, and makes a lasting impact?

Part-Time | Honolulu
$18–$21/hour + Benefits for Part-Time Employees

This isn't your typical after-school job. One minute you might be leading a kickball game, helping with an art project, or building an epic LEGO creation. The next, you're encouraging a child who's struggling with homework or helping them make a new friend.

If you enjoy staying active, having fun, and making a difference, you might be exactly who we're looking for.

Why You'll Love This Job

Get Paid to Have Fun

Your afternoons may include:

- Playing outdoor games and sports
- Leading arts, crafts, and STEM activities
- Helping with homework
- Organizing team challenges and group games
- Sharing your hobbies and interests with keiki
- Encouraging creativity, confidence, and friendships
- Making children laugh while helping them learn and grow

It's one of the few jobs where playing games, being active, and having fun are actually part of the job description.

A Schedule That Works

- Monday-Friday afternoons (approximately 1:30 PM-5:30 PM)
- Early release Wednesdays (start around 12:30 PM)
- No evenings, weekends, or major holidays
- Ideal for college students, parents, retirees, and anyone seeking meaningful part-time work

Benefits Beyond the Paycheck

- Up to 75% childcare discount
- Tuition assistance up to $1,000 per semester

- Paid training
- PTO and holiday pay (Your Birthday is a holiday!)

Be part of a supportive team that values collaboration, positivity, and helping one another succeed. There's a reason we've been recognized as a Hawaii Top Workplace year after year.

- Ensure children's safety and well-being
- Work alongside a fun and supportive team

Every afternoon is an opportunity to become a positive role model and someone a child looks forward to seeing.

You might be a great fit if you're:

- Positive and enthusiastic
- Dependable and responsible
- Patient and encouraging
- Energetic and active
- Comfortable leading activities and engaging groups
- Passionate about making a difference in children's lives

That's pretty rewarding.
