I can't afford to work

[pilipala]

Hi there, can anyone offer some advice please?! I have a 2 year old and a 6 month old..... the problem is the price of childcare..... in the cheapest nursery I've found it'd still cost £56.00 a day. I simply can't earn much more than that per day.... I've tried working on Saturday and Sunday evening 4-10 but found it made me ill as I was loosing valuable 'me time'/sleep time when my babies go to bed. My partner would like to see me on the weekends so would rather I didn't work ALL DAY on the weekends..He works shifts during the week so I can't work week evenings either. We can't really afford for me not to work and I'd happily return full time if I could afford childcare..... anyone been in the same predicament and found a solution?! It makes me so angry that the government are not providing us with affordable childcare when they expect us to work. Any advice gratefully receivced.

Take a look at my advert in the jobs section

entitles "work from home selling childrens books"

(you dont have to sell them though lol that terrifies some people!! you can do sponsored reads in schools and Nurseries, easy money not much work and no child care needed)

My little ones have started school but I have friends who do this, one with her 1 and 3 year old and she does really well with it

feel free to take a look

regarding low paid childcare workers - private nurseries can also be very low paid work although nursery fees obviously arent. dont know about pay in other areas but where i am the pay for qualified nursery nurses is shocking, paid more in call centres and some shops after all, are they not doing one of the most important jobs?
