Get Paid to Play, Lead & Make a Difference

Looking for a part-time job that's genuinely fun, works around your schedule, and makes a lasting impact?

Part-Time | Honolulu
$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 1:30 PM-5:30 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.

What You'll Do

As a Group Leader, you'll help create a safe, engaging, and enriching environment where children can learn, play, and thrive after school.

• Supervise children during indoor and outdoor play

• Support homework completion and academic success

• Encourage positive behavior and character development

• Foster friendships and inclusion among children

• Ensure children's safety and well-being

• Work alongside a fun and supportive team

Every afternoon is an opportunity to become a positive role model and someone a child looks forward to seeing.

What We're Looking For

We're not necessarily looking for childcare experience. We're looking for great people.

You might be a great fit if you're:

• Positive and enthusiastic

• Dependable and responsible

• Patient and encouraging

• Energetic and active

• Comfortable leading activities and engaging groups

• Passionate about making a difference in children's lives

Requirements

Student Aide opportunities may be available for applicants under 18.

More Than a Job

For many of our employees, this position is the highlight of their day. You get to leave work knowing you helped a child learn something new, build confidence, solve a problem, or simply have a great afternoon.

That's pretty rewarding.
