I recently gave up my job to be a SAHM to my 2 young daughters. I didn’t expect to struggle so much with the change in lifestyle and not earning money. I’m planning to go back to having a career once my youngest is in nursery but in the meantime what work can I do that is fully flexible and allows me to work after the kids sleep and maybe on weekends?
For info I have a degree in statistics and 12 years experience working in banking. Also an interest in property and interior design. But it obviously doesn’t have to be related to these!
thank you

What about helping sixth formers with their uni applications for maths/stats/banking courses, advice on how to get into banking etc. Freelance as a speaker at posh schools giving career talks, cv advice. Or uni student stats help, find a local uni and help any of the research students with their statistics - put up a flyer on campus offering a session to look over their statistical stuff.

I think you’ve got great niche experience that can help others.

Go back to work and do the thing you are qualified for and have experience in! Get some great childcare lined up and just do it, clearly being a SAHM isn’t working for you

This.
Make the most of the qualifications you have by working in the field. You could do 3 days a week and still get £50k which is a pretty decent balance
