Suitable morning jobs?

Hi everyone
I am working full time in a stressful career, I have a 17 month toddler and i'm expecting no 2 in February 2023.
My husband is working part time and studying for his dream job, he should be on track to finish December 2022. He will earn a very reasonable wage, but to maintain our lifestyle I have to keep working after 2 kids.

Here's my dilemma.
My husband thinks I can carry on working in this job after number 2 , and that I would hate doing something low stress. I had an easy job before this and left it to do this job. I don't regret it one bit, it's amazing for my career and I really really enjoy it.
However I consider this job , although stress and very fun at the same time, a burn out job. I really want to just take a step back and have an easier life once no 2 is here. My husband can easily just do evening shifts in his work meaning I can do mornings , realistically my timings would be 6am to 11am as my husbands earliest start is 1pm on his schedule and I don't want to pay for childcare.
What jobs allow you to do just mornings , preferably not cleaning as the shift pattern is too short? Happy to do a cleaning job 6am to 11am but fuel costs are going up so I want longer shifts ...
Ideas I've had ...
Lifeguarding
Carework ( my only reservation is that they will pressure me to do extra hours when i can't do them)
Mcdonalds morning shift
Something in a school, like a caretaker
Picking home deliveries at a supermarket

Many thanks for your ideas xxx

For those hours the only things I can think of is cleaning really. I’m a community carer, and as short staffed as we are I think you’d still struggle to find even agency work for those hours. Could you do full nights (say 7-7) in a warehouse or factory maybe?

driver or passenger assistant for day centre or school transport

childminder - you could also do this in the afternoons if you are at home.

milking cows if you are in a rural area (I'm not joking about this... but actually you will probably need to be up more like 4am)

morning milk deliveries

paper round

dog walking

road sweeper

Sainsburys do online shopper jobs from 4am-8am, 5am-9am, 6am-10am etc. There's always extra hours available if needed.

School breakfast club, cleaning (private houses or facilities). Child minding? School bus driver or assistant (may need you afternoon unless someone can job share).
Possibly front of house at travelodge etc? (But they may want you to do ahifts). Working in a shop - with defined hours such as a bakery.
Or ask an agency for a fixed part time role in a warehouse, so admin, packing etc as many work 24/7 and are desperate for staff so may be more accommodating.

Great ideas
Unfortunately my husband is on a shift pattern so it would be anything from like 1pm till 9pm or a night shift
The night shifts are really rare though. 1 in 10. But it means I can't do them in a morning job.
Great ideas everyone thank you

When my dad was ill I employed private carers myself I had people in 7-1 then a gap as he slept and then 5-10 at night maybe something like this

They did the personal care but also cooling, cleaning, companionship

Also something self employed cleaning, copywriting, typing, admin from home, taxi driving

I'm sure you could work something out
