Childminding - it will be a good thing to put on your CV when you apply for teaching. Also, as a teacher myself, I find that no two days are the same and kids are great to be around. Since this is just a fill-in until you go to uni, just go for it.
The other job sounds really boring and has very little to do with your chosen vocation.
PS. Some people are lucky to get one job offer, let alone two. Well done!

I would take the job as Childminder Asst.
(1) More hours = More pay.
(2) Will give you experience for your teacher postion, plus looks good on a professional teaching resume.
(3) Good way to find out if you really like to be a teacher, or something else.
(4) Not a dead end job,because you won't be there for ever!!!!
Good luck with which ever job you choose.

Childminding is ok but you can do that when/if you have children of your own,sales negotiator sounds better 12.5 hours per week gives you more time for studies to get the job you so want

Childminder is more related to your field. As for it being a dead end job, you don't plan on staying in the other one either if eventually you want to be a teacher of art, now do you. :)

go with the childminders one. my friend worked as an assistant in a school and although it took her several years, she eventually gained the qualifications to get to uni on a teacher training course and she's a qualified primary school teacher now and very, very happy.
trust me, im stuck in a job now that i dont want to do but cant do anything about it because of age, debt, etc. dont you get caught in that trap.do the thing you really want to do.

been in a dead end teaching assistant job and let me tell you it's exhausting. And it doesn't end when work is over. You have to do loads of prep work. Take the job with less hours and start looking into qualifying to be the art teacher you want to be. You'll have more sanity at the end of the day! Good luck!

I'm guessing you're still quite young so I'd offer this advice while you're hopefully not weighed down by the financial burden of mortgages and the other things that tie you into financial servitude.
If you know what you want to do, aim to do it, don't let an extra bit of cash or a more impressive title cause you to deviate from your path.
Looking at your question you want to be a teacher, to me it seems far more logical to learn how to interact with children to gain experience of something that will help you in the role of a teacher.
I suppose if you work for a building society you will gain experience of angry people, learning how to deal with them might be useful but you have your life ahead of you and there will always be angry people to deal with - I'd avoid exposure to them for as long as possible!

The childminders job will give you more experience when it comes to applying for jobs in the future and choosing a career.

The first one because you can get contacts to become a teacher. Also they will help pay for your courses that may overlap the teaching degree courses.
It will also give you exposure to children in a teaching environment to see if this is really what you want in a career.

the childminders will help you in the long run because you will have a lot of experience with children
