  • Moving a lot this summer. I have been a custodian for over 20 years. The purpose of this channel is to share some of my knowledge with you. I remember the feeling when I first became a custodian. I was given a set of keys, a radio and a badge. Didn't get any training whatsoever. Being a custodian is not rocket scientist knowledge. There are definitely things that a custodian needs to know. I call it the art of the trade. Tips and tricks that can make the job much easier and enjoyable. Find me at @mrjeffthecustodian

    Needed this! I'm a school janitor and want to get out of there so bad. It's a toxic place!

    I understand, doing custodial work for the past 14 years it does get frustrating at times!! Praying that your wife's health improves.

    I am a high schooler who works for a neighboring school district in custodial for minimum wage luckily, minimum wage went up but you got a point if you paid us just a little bit more we’d probably be More motivated and there’d be more of us. I am the only one that District has seen in a long, long time that’s willing to work all year.

      It's a manual labor job, it's only worth minimum wage. That's why you need to go to college or a trade school to eventually make more money than minimum wage.

      Yes there have been days I was so tired. So tired I couldn’t even sleep good with pain in feet and Back. It is a very laborious job. I still have to say out of all the jobs I have had. This is the best one. Kinda my own boss.

    We have a summer helper....WE are basically babysitting him. Having to constantly tell him to redo what he just did. Plus constantly tell him he can't do a hour and a half lunches.

    Totally understand this myself, school custodian 6th year. They recently changed our positions to systemwide which means we can go to any school at anytime. All new hires are contracted by year no more tenure.
