To leave my job for something less stressful?

I work 2 days a week, 16 hours. These are great hours as I have 3dcs. However I find the job so stressful it is making me ill. I spend all the day before work in a state of anxiety and nervousness. After work on the 2 days I am stressed out, exhausted and feel ill with headaches. The day after work I spend most of it recovering from the previous 2 days!
I am thinking of leaving for a less stressful but lower paid job. Obviously this will mean a pay cut and maybe having to work 3 days per week instead of 2. I don't know what to do.

I don't think I want to do agency nursing as the thought of being in charge of a shift and the level of accountability in a place I don't know also stresses me out!
I have considered private nursing homes but can't imagine it's going to be any less stressful? I used to love my job, never really wanted promotion or management so not really career minded in that sense but it has totally changed over the years and is now so pressured. I'm sad about it but determined that I have to do something about it as others have said, life's too short!

I work for a private care home provider (nursing homes). I love it. If you want to know more PM me. You really shouldn't be this stressed at work Flowers
