Hi, don't think I will be looking for a job for a good few years, but i have decided that if and when i do, i only want to work school hours so i can take dd to school and pick her up myself.
and i can be there if she is ever ill or there is anything like sports days or plays at school etc.
and spend the summer and school holidays with dd.
and i am not prepared to work weekends or nights or anything.
i love being a sahm.
so does this make me virtually unempolyable?
i used to work as an advisor for a large pharmaceutical company and the work was varied and interesting (to me then, but it doesn't really interest me anymore)
my work used to involve alot of auditing, training and meetings advising on various things.
i am also a qualified pharmacy technician, this is what i used to do before climing the ladder as such.
(and working as a pharmacy tech is much harder work than working as an advisor)
anyhow, i love being a mummy and i plan to stay at home until dd starts school, but have just being thinking about what sort of work i'd like to do when dd is at school.
dh says the world is my oyster and i can do anything i like. even going back to study or whatever.
we are lucky in that we are quite comfortable with money. so i don't really need to consider how much i can earn, although im sure i can find a way to spend it.
the only problem is i don't really know what i'd like to do.
im thinking of starting my own business or becoming self employed, a few ideas ive thought of are
becoming a childminder, i love being a mummy, and i guess this is the closest thing to being a "professional mummy"
i also love spending time with older children such as my nieces and newphews and enjoying arts and crafts and baking and trips to the park.(the sort of stuff i imagine a CM does)
alos have thought of, perhaps starting a pet sitting business, there are alot of people in my area who are cash rich but time poor, i could set up a business looking after pets while the owners are on holidays and walking dogs etc.
and although i would enjoy walking the dogs etc
but i think im more interested in working with children or babies.
ive also thought about becoming a doula, and a bfc. although im not sure if my difficult experiences with both would make me or suitable to do this type of work or less suitable (had 4th degree tears with dd and i useed to breastfeed dd upto 30 times a day)
can you think of any other ideas that would make for a really nice job?
also i have interests in photography and art and craft.
i also like making birthday cakes and greeting cards.
i would enjoy pottering about doing that kind of stuff.
