3 sisters I looked after finished at the end of October because their mum lost her job and now I am completely stuck!! I've advertised everywhere since the end of September when she handed her notice in and have had no calls!

I have no idea what to do. Income has gone down so dramatically, can't cover bills, let alone Xmas and feeding my kids! Any ideas?? I've got adverts on a couple of websites, CIS is up to date, adverts in the local employment agencies, mums&tots groups, schools, on my car...

I really don't want to have to go back to an office job, but if something doesn't happen soon it looks like I'm going to have to. But I love looking after kids and staying at home with my own kids.

Sorry to hear you're struggling chel. How about doing flyers to put on cars in the local supermarket car park or standing outstand the schools at hometime and handing out leaflets? Boring as hell, but if you want the work, I'm sure you'll do it.

That's a good idea. I'll try anything at the moment!
