So ill try not bore you with all the details.

However I already have a degree in childhood studies, but after my degree got a job within a hospital to train to become a nurse. I did enjoy it but now I know what working as a full time nurse is like (tiring, long shifts, working over Christmas, no relationships with co-workers) I'm seriously thinking about maybe starting up as a childminder?

I don't have any children of my own, but the only thing is me and my dh are moving to a different county soon, therefore, I'm now looking as jobs as a nurse but wondering if it would be possible to bank as a nurse, 1 shift every other week/every week and become a childminder once i get to know the area?

Ive worked in nurseries for 4 years before my degree and i did love it but i knew the money wasn't the best! I wouldn't be doing CM for the money rather the aspect of having my own business with my own hours, working from home and also being at home for when we do eventually have children.

opinions welcomed
