Part-Time Roles for Grad Student with Early Childhood Degree

Published on 09/05/2025 Hiring & Talent Acquisition Insights

A graduate student with an early childhood education degree needs part-time work that fits a "weird school schedule" for extra money. This points to excellent opportunities in flexible roles leveraging their specific degree. Options include tutoring (especially for younger children in reading or specific subjects), nannying or childcare services, substitute teaching (if certified and schedule allows, often with flexible daily booking), or online educational content creation/support. Beyond their degree, non-specific flexible options like remote customer service, virtual assistant roles, or gig economy jobs (delivery, ride-share) are also viable for supplemental income. Resume direction should highlight their early childhood education background, experience with children, reliability, and any skills relevant to online or remote work. Expected benefits are income generation and relevant experience without conflicting with academic demands.
