Wasting my life

Hi I would really love if anyone could take the time to help me work this out please.
Im a 36 Yr old single Mum. I've always worked with children and all my qualifications are in childcare. I've always worked in jobs that fit around my Son.

Last year I really needed a change from Childcare so done a brief stint in care and now work in retail which is I see as just a job.
Now my Son is 13 years old and I feel like I'm ready to focus on me I feel this sudden urge to start a 'proper' career. I feel upset that it's taken me so long to think about what I want to do and feel like I've wasted a lot of time ( although I was taking good care of my Son)
I need a long term career, one I actually want to do and gives me satisfaction and is rewarding.
The problem is I don't know where to start, I like the idea of nursing but will take years and the degree is full on and don't see how I could fit that in around working 30 hours.
I like caring for people, are there any jobs possibly in NHS that need training for and studying but not so full on like a degree. ANY advice very much appreciated x
