I haven't worked in 14 years due to being a sahp I'm currently a lone parent carer for 2 dcs with sn. I have other dcs too with 2 not being school age as yet 2yr and 11 weeks old.
I claim carers and I'm so so tired of it I want to work but due to my dcs sn I need to be at home as 1 keeps being excluded as she doesn't cope very well in mainstream and I have regular appointments with them so going out to work would be hard as I would need time off quite frequently.
I have my gcses but I'm worried they are out of date now and I was doing a administration nvq before I got pregnant with dc1 and his dad convinced me we'd be better off with me at home. I've worked in sales and wasn't very good at it and most of my experience was office based.
I've been looking at online courses so I could work around all the appointments and still be here when dd1 gets excluded.
I've looked into work from home jobs but many seem to be money led schemes and I think I'd struggle doing things like Avon or betterware.
I want to work and feel useful again and I'd also like to be able to move my kids to a better area then where we are now and getting a job would be a big help with that.
I'm stuck on what would be the best way forward and wondered if anyone had any suggestions or ideas please.
Thank you in advance.
