Looking to return to work in the coming year after a long period being a SAHM! I have three children, under 7 (two of which will be at school as of august).
Whilst I'm obviously finding the job hunt aspect ok (despite the limited number of positions available) I'm a bit anxious about all the practical aspects of returning to work with a young family. Can someone help guide me in the process - should I make applications and go for interviews first, then wait for a job offer before looking at childcare providers. Or would employers expect me to have all that sorted before applying for jobs? Can nurseries give an indicative answer on a place if you don't know when you'll need it? Or is that a waste of their time? It could be that I find a suitable job quickly, but just as likely it takes many months.
