Jennifer Garner has taken on a second job — she’s “scrubbing the toilets” at her three-year-old daughter’s school!

The actress — who has two children with husband Ben Affleck — has revealed how she’s been lending a helping hand at Violet’s Boston, Massachusetts co-operative preschool.

“Parents run the school, so I work at the preschool,” said Garner, who stars opposite British comic Ricky Gervais in new movie The Invention of Lying. “It’s a lot of toilet scrubbing… painting and pulling out staples. But it’s fun because you get to chat with other mums.

“Ben and I take turns. Right now he’s directing but just wait when it’s his turn… he’s going to have to make macaroni and cheese for every potluck [group dinner].”

Garner, 37, recently revealed that she once passed off someone else’s funny story as her own — and got caught!

“Somebody told me a story that I thought was funny, and I don’t even remember what the story was even, but I started repeating it to other people, but I said it happened to me instead of saying it happening to them because it’s easier to tell the story that way,”  the star told FOX News.

“Then I found that I was telling it to the person that it actually happened to, so they thought I was crazy after that. I had to stop being friends with them because it was so embarrassing.”
