I dont have a degree, haven't worked since my oldest was born, and don't want all the responsibility and headache of a teacher. An assistant doesn't have to deal with preparing, meeting parents.... Just is it really weird to tell people I'm just a simple assistant?? Should I feel stupid taking this job. Decent salary. Not the greatest pay, but whatever it is, is extra!

My mother in law is almost 70 kah. She has been an assistant in pre school for 30+ years. She loves it.
Go for it, see if you enjoy it. It seems there are a lot of maalos to the position for you, your location, stage in life, kids ,even pay, etc.
Just smile and hold your head hi and appreciate that it's a job that works for you!

Take it! I was thinking about how much I love kids and wish I could be around them more. Why not? Sounds like so much fun! Everyone loves the person who hangs out with their kids all day and tells them how cute they are.

My mil, high 60s, got a proper degree back in the day and had a real job before leaving to take care of all the kids. And now she's a nursery assistant. No shame in an honest job that works for you.

I'm 39 and work as a preschool assistant. I love it. I've never sensed that anyone looks down on me, and if they do, so what? It's my life, not theirs.

Where I live the preschool assistants range from 19-70. I never thought it was weird, I just assumed they wanted a job on the school schedule without the headache of preparation.

My mother was a nursery/pre-school assistant morah for years. She took the job after having kids. As someone else said, the best morahs are mommies/grandmas!
