I thought it was mentioned in the books that Squibs were very rare.
We only know of two actual characters being Squibs and the MoM
doesn't even seem to know a lot about them in OotP when the Squib (I
forgot her name) testifies for Harry about the Dementors. They ask
if a Squib can even see a Dementor.
So, as for the witch pushing the cart, who knows? I guess her job
is kind of like that of a flight attendants, possibly? And, we also
don't know what other duties she performs. Obviously, she doesn't
make her bread and butter only 2-4 times a year, and I don't think
the Hogwarts express runs any other time other than the beginning
and end of the terms and possibly Christmas Holidays. So, she must
do something else.
