Can anyone please offer me some advice? My eldest Son is starting school in September. Since he was 9 months old he has been going to nursery, giving me the chance to return to work. I also have another little boy who attends the same nursery and once again this has given me the chance to return to work. However the issue is I work in retail, Thursday and Friday 8:30 till 5:00, giving me plenty of time to take the kids to nursery and pick them up. However as we all know school is 8:50 till 3:15 and full of holidays i.e Easter, Xmas etc. My DH works in retail too :( Even though I will be asking my Boss if there is any chance of working 10 till 2 four days per week and having every school holiday off, I am not hopeful:( So my question is this... Does anyone know of any jobs that are suitable for a parent with very young children at school? I literally have no support. My in-laws live up north and my Siblings are in full time work as are my parents, so I am the only one that can do the school run and I need to be available for the hols. What do other parents do? I am currently seeking a receptionist job in an infant/primary school, but they are few and far between. Can anyone offer any advice/suggestions?
