Just wondering as mentioned above really.

I work in telesales at the moment, have been there nearly a year and find that the atmosphere is dead in my office and I am not really enjoying the job. But my boss is nice and flexable with me having time off to look after dd if ill or school meetings etc.

Just wondering what everyone else does.

I am thinking of teaching assistant (not sure how much experience I would need first.

Also thinking of driving instructor. I just want something that fits in well with having dd.

Help Smile

I work full-time as a Registered Childminder, been doing it 7 years. Fits in great with the kids especially during school holidays etc and on the whole I love it (just the paperwork that gets a bit much sometimes).

I'm a nurse, I worked mainly nights when dc were young as it was easiest for child care. Now I work mainly 8-4, dc are 17 & 14 so no longer need child care.

Hmm I have just finished my arts degree. I want to go into teaching and asked at the jobcentre re teaching assistant jobs. I was told that those jobs need a qualification and qualified teachers are going for them in any case...! (Wonderfully encouraging!)
