You can get a job as an assistant teacher at a preschool, daycare, or Head Start…salary would be around 8-10 maybe up to 12 an hour.
With experience, you could become a head teacher but you’d have to have experience and they’d most likely expect you to eventually get your Bachelors degree. Salary would be between 10-15 an hour depending whether you work at a daycare center, private preschool, and also where you teach in the US..
You could also get a job as a nanny, salary would be about the same, maybe more depending where you live.

I would go ahead and get your Bachelors degree in Early Childhood, its only a couple extra years and then you could get certified for public or private schools up to third grade. It would expand your job opportunities. Public schools pay around 30-40,000 a year. A little bit more than a private preschool teacher, but there is also a lot more ‘red tape’ and many public schools are run like a bureaucracy or a business which can be a hassle.
Either way, it would give you more possibilities and increase your level of pay.

Teaching is a profession that doesn’t pay a lot, but it is a very rewarding job. Just make sure your doing it for the kids, not the money, and you’ll have a very rewarding career.
