I want to go back to work part time and have seen some jobs I would like to apply for but there is a big problem - what can I do for childcare in the school holidays? DDs are 9 and 11 so I need somewhere that will give them activities suited to their ages, as they are too young to be left. I also don't want to pay silly money as it wouldn't be worth working.
DP is self employed and cannot take time off as his hours are very varied and he is the main bread winner, we rely on his wages for mortgage bills and overheads for his work. My parents are elderly and while they will help out for odd days, I do not want to burden them with a committment as due to chronic health conditions some days are better than others, and ILs are unreliable, prone to ring up last minute saying not feeling up to it. Friends are not an option and there are no other family members with children.
I have looked online but can't see anything suitable. Can I ask what you all do for childcare for children of these ages in school holidays please as I have run out of ideas, thank you.
