If you're a parent, you know that finding a job that offers good pay, decent hours, and most importantly, reliable childcare, can be tougher than getting an internship at Google. But don't worry, we're here to help! We've scoured the internet to find the best of the best when it comes to jobs that offer childcare. So whether you're looking for a new career or just trying to make ends meet, read on for our top picks!

1. Daycare worker

If you love children and are looking for a job with flexible hours, then consider becoming a daycare worker! Most daycares are open from six in the morning until six at night, so you'll have plenty of time to spend with your kids before or after your shift. Plus, many daycares offer employee discounts which can save you a ton of money on childcare!

2. Nanny

Do you have experience caring for children? Are you patient, kind, and fun-loving? If so, then being a nanny might be the perfect job for you! Nannies typically work Monday through Friday during the daytime hours, making it easy to schedule around your kid's school and extracurricular activities. And since you'll be working in the child's home, there's no need to find (and pay for!) expensive childcare.

3. Teacher

If you're looking for a stable job with good pay and great benefits, then teaching might be the way to go. While most teaching jobs are full-time positions, there are often opportunities for part-time work or even substitute teaching. And since schools are usually open during the daytime hours when kids are in school, finding childcare won't be an issue.

4. Childcare provider

There are many different types of childcare providers out there (including babysitters, au pairs, and nannies), so chances are there's one that fits both your needs and your schedule. Childcare providers typically work in the evenings and on weekends when parents need someone to watch their kids while they're out of town or just taking a break. Plus, most providers work in the child's home which means there's no need to find (or pay for) expensive childcare!

5. Social worker

If you want to make a difference in the lives of children and families, then consider becoming a social worker. Social workers typically work full-time during regular business hours; however, some positions may require evening or weekend work. Plus, many social workers specialize in working with specific populations like children or families so finding a job that matches your interests should be easy peasy!

No matter what your schedule or budget is, there's sure to be a job on this list that's perfect for you! So get out there and start applying... Your dream job awaits!
