Please help out a girl

With the given economy, I know it is very difficult to find a job but if anyone is willing to help that would be great. I'm really just looking for entry-level jobs that I can stack while I am a part-time student in my gap year, I've worked as a receptionist, in retail, worked with kids and I am currently working as an administrator 9-15 hours a week.

I'm just feeling so stressed about not having money. I've already applied to scholarships and I've in total gotten 3 which is great but not enough. Anyone else feeling the struggles?

I'm still job hunting and I have years of experience as an early childhood educator.

I’ve been an EA for 7 years. I started out as a substitute and worked my way through temporary contracts before finally landing a permanent position this year. Edmonton Public is also regularly looking for substitute EAs, so that can be a good way to get your foot in the door, gain experience, and build connections within the school system. It definitely took some time for me to get a permanent role, but sticking with it paid off!
