Career change school hours

I am looking for an idea for a career change. I need to work school hours as have young children one with a health condition who has appointments. At the moment I do data entry from home which sounds ideal as the hours are flexible but it is soul destroying! After 2 hours of typing I struggle to carry on and really hate the work. I want to find something else to do either employed or self employed. My daughter has been off sick this week and it has made me realise in a lot of jobs this would have been a disaster this week but I have been able to do my data entry while she sleeps. But I hate it 😭

I would really like to get into beauty or nails and have signed up for the local college next year, but this week has made me realise I would have had to have let clients down with my daughter being ill. I want to train in something new and interesting but am worried about losing the flexibility. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance

I work in a school nursery, get all school holidays off. Pay isn’t good though.
