Want a career change

I'm a part time teacher at a primary school. I have two DC's aged 5 and 2.
I hate my job and feel very dissatisfied with teaching and my role within the school. I find it stressful and too much now that I have a family. I want out.
But... I get paid well for 2.5 days per week, l have the holidays off. We can't afford for me to not work or earn any less.
Has anybody got any ideas for a well paid, part time job with the holidays off?! I'm sure I'm looking for the impossible, sadly, but so tired of feeling trapped in a job that's making me unhappy!
Thanks.

You might get a well paid part time job , a part time job with holidays free. I think outside teaching you are going to struggle to get well paid, part time and free holidays .

Tutoring? Build up your client base before handing your notice in so there's no gap.

Cheddars - I'd thought about that as I think tutoring one-to-one might focus on the teaching, which I do still enjoy, rather than all the shite that comes with it!
Do you know if tutoring is likely to be within school hours? I thought it would be more likely to be after school/evenings. Although I haven't checked it out.

Tutoring will have to be after school, but it can be hours that suit you .

Or weekends and holidays

I think you might be looking for the Holy Grail...

Good luck!
