Summary

I'm a retired Special Education teacher doing some private tutoring after school;

but I'm looking for another part time job during the day up to 20 hours/week, minimum $15/hr, where I won't need to stand or walk for long periods (if I can use a chair or bar stool most of the time...)

We moved here a few months ago to be near our daughter's family.
