Before school childcare

Looks like I'm going to have to turn down yet another job. They need me to be there for 8:10am and I can't drop kids at breakfast club until 8am.

Does anyone employ a nanny/mothers help who arrives early, say around 7:30, helps kids get ready and then takes them to school?

How would I find someone to do this? Who would even want these ridiculous hours??

Just seems so unfair that I can't make this work. I'm a woman trying to get back into full time work so I can support myself but I can't because lack of childcare.

No. I need something where I don't rely on my partner. It's teaching so unless I ask not to have a tutor group...

Do you have a partner who works staggered hours to you? One drops and the other collects? Or could you ask to start and stay later in your new job?
