Work prospects after maternity leave

[LovelyNanny26]

Hello,
I had my gorgeous baby girl at the beginning of July.(second baby) and my maternity leave started second half of June.I'm still in the paid phase until February/March however I will probably still do the further 3 months unpaid. I have no job to go back to and it's really stressing me out. I was thinking to go back to working in the nursery but the pay is so bad I won't be making much money anyway. Part time admin job from home but most of them look like scam.My best bet might be working nights at the supermarket.I'm ideally looking for something around school hours(my son is going to school next year and we have no further help from family etc.I just feels really angry and depressed about the whole thing.I'm educated I work hard and I'm being pushed to do low pay jobs simply because I had children/expensive childcare.I just wanto scream.

With your experience, could you set up as a childminder? The government have a grant available to help with costs. You'd need:
Home based childcare level 3
Dbs for you and any other over 16s in your home
Health check
Safeguarding
Paediatric first aid

You can have six under the age of eight. With your son going to school next year, you could currently have two eyfs customers with your own children. Prices here are £50 a day, so potential for you to earn £500 a week and save by not spending out on childcare.

I set up when my youngest was a year old, had around 25 customers since! My children love it as I'm home for them and there's always someone to play with. I also couldn't have afforded to go back to work in a nursery, so setting up at home was the best decision for me.

I don't really want to do childminding.A lot of playgroups in my area refuse entry and my husbands past is a bit shady.
