working from home (done to death but desperate)

[coffeeismydrug]

I have one teen with complex SN. I always worked (admin type stuff) but thanks to cuts council has closed all SN childcare provision during the school hols for teens and childminders won't take DD, so I was forced to hand in my notice.

I really struggle living of benefits only and I am desperate to earn money again but due to the situation with DD, I can only work from home.

I have worked the last 15 years in CS/admin type roles, I am fluent in French, I have no other special skills, I type at snail's pace, I don't drive (so cleaning etc is out) and have no degree. I am pretty unremarkable, no special skills and I hate, hate, hate ironing.

Anybody working WFH with a similar profile? what do you do? I don't need a job where I earn megabugs. The earning threshold for carers allowance is £120/week (or something like that) so would be content to earn just 120 a week.

People are always looking for copy writing or translating in different languages. Try going freelance on sites like people per hour.

As someone who I recognize was a pretty bad teacher of English on my year abroad I would not pay a tutor for my kids unless they had good evidenced teaching experience ....you will need to practise on some Guinea pigs and get good references.
Again ....not everyone who can speak the language is a good teacher or good at running a playgroup.
