Part-Time | Waimea

$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 1:45 PM-4:40 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
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid training
• PTO and holiday pay (Your Birthday is a holiday!)
• Growth and advancement opportunities within Kamaʻāina Kids

Join a Top Workplace

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.
