What hours does your partner work?

Why can't your OH request more family friendly hours? Might give you more options if he's doing school pick ups as well.

Cleaning?

Your previous work as a care assistant is a job that can often be done part time. Can you not get child care even some of the time? Will your previous employer not offer you reduced hours? A lot of care agencies can offer fairly flexible hours that can fit around your family.

What kind of jobs have you applied for so far?

Care work, weekends or nights. Maybe agency work.

Work just to pay the childcare? It's worth it for your sanity (it's what I do)
