Question for massage therapists/osteos/physios with small children

And all other (complementary) therapists, sorry couldn't fit everyone into the title!
I used to work as a part time massage therapist until the end of 2019, I had my own business and worked a couple of evenings a week and did a couple of early mornings too, and I stopped during pregnancy with my first child. I'm currently expecting my second but I've been really restless for a few months now about going back to work (I'm a full time SAHM).

My question is: when you went back to work after having kids, were you able to get enough work without working evenings? I would like to ideally go back (whenever that may be!) a couple of days a week, but I'm not sure I'd want to miss bedtimes with kids (could share nursery/school pickup with dh).

Are there 'types' of clients who prefer daytime treatments (I'm thinking pregnancy/postnatal)? Or did you just accept that you'll still have to work some evenings and I should just get over it?!
And how are you finding work these days after what must have been a very difficult couple of years with Covid?
Thanks!
