Want a job where you actually make a difference?

At BrightBee, we're tackling the K-12 staffing crisis by connecting schools with the support staff they need to thrive.  Our independent contractors, called Bees, choose assignments that fit their skills and schedules.  Opportunities range from single day assignments to those that last several weeks.

We've partnered with Alphabest to provide After-School Program Leaders in San Ramon.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead a group of students through daily curriculum activities

  • Make child safety the top priority at all times

  • Keep the space clean and organized

  • Help create an environment where kids feel supported and included

  • Build strong relationships with teammates, kids, families, and school staff

Schedule

  • Start Date:  Assignments Available Immediately

  • These assignments are for 5 days a week - Monday-Friday (12-5pm)

  • Locations

    • Creekside Elementary School

    • Rancho Romero Elementary School

Who This is Perfect For

  • You’re patient, reliable, and positive

  • Enjoys working with children in a structured, high-energy environment

  • Takes child safety seriously and follows procedures closely

  • Is flexible, reliable, and ready to jump in wherever needed

Basic Requirements

  • 12 Semester Units in Early Childhood Education/Development

  • Prior experience working with children

  • CPR and First Aid Certification (we can help you obtain this - $15 and less than 2 hours online training!)

Compensation

Every NewBee starts at a base rate of $25.50, regardless of their prior experience.  All Bees are eligible for a $100 bonus after completion of their 5th assignment.  Your rate grows as you complete more assignments - your first increase of 10% will occur after completing your 50th assignment.  Bees who work consistently will see this increase in their first 3-6 months of work.  Pay is processed each week for assignments completed in the prior week.

 

Before You Start

To keep students safe, you’ll need to:

  • Pass a background check

  • Follow safety and reporting guidelines

  • Complete required school clearances which you are responsible for paying.

  • Costs associated with the clearance process are the sole responsibility of the candidate, as this engagement is for an independent contractor role rather than a traditional employment position.  Requirements vary by state but may include the cost of a background check, obtaining a copy of any college transcript you have, and the cost of completing Mandated Reporter training. The average cost of completing clearance in California is around $130.

Why BrightBee?

We connect great people with schools that need them—fast.

  • Support every step of the way

  • Opportunities to grow your experience

  • Be part of something bigger—supporting your community
