Classroom assistant is ‘such a rewarding job’
Johanna Voigt made personalized Christmas tree ornaments for all her students this year.
That鈥檚 how much she loves her students 鈥 and her job.
Voigt is a classroom assistant for the first and second grade classes in the French track at 色窝窝无码一区二区三区鈥檚 Wimbish World Language Academy.听
It鈥檚 a job she hadn鈥檛 originally planned on, but it鈥檚 one she would gladly recommend to others.
鈥淕o for it,鈥 she said to anyone who might consider a career as a classroom assistant.

鈥淚t is such a rewarding job,鈥 Voigt said. 鈥淚ncluding all the hugs you could ever want!鈥
While you can鈥檛 beat the hugs, there are a lot of other benefits, too.
Voigt always liked working with kids but knew that teaching wasn鈥檛 for her. So, she ended up working in the hospitality industry. But that鈥檚 a career with crazy work hours, late nights and work on weekends and holidays. Not easy for a mother.
After being a stay-at-home mom for five years, Voigt decided she needed a job that was more family-friendly. And she found it at her son鈥檚 school.
聽鈥淲orking at my son’s school was the perfect place,鈥 she said. 鈥淎s a classroom assistant, I work the same hours that my son attends school, so we drive together in the AM and PM and get summers off together (plus or minus a few days).鈥
The job also fulfills her love for working with kids.
鈥淚 love getting to know the students, being able to work with them and watch them learn and grow,鈥 she said. 鈥淚t’s like being a teacher, just without all the extra responsibilities and work (like lesson planning and grading). Also, working alongside some amazing teachers and helping them makes their days a little easier.鈥
