I've been doing my current job for 6 years. It's minimum wage but a 'vocation' (childcare). Starting to feel like it's increasingly difficult with my energy levels (I'm 51, loads of 2-4 year olds is exhausting!) and I'm quite good at it, but not excellent (I don't think that will improve much). Many people are a lot better than me, so I'm feeling like it's not really my skillset. I've lost my mojo over it to be honest and as I only do it for the fun/ interest/ challenge - not the money - I'm thinking about doing something else.
No idea where to start though at this late stage of my life. I probably have 15 years at least left to work. What would you be looking for in employing someone my age? I need to work part time as I do manage my health but would be challenging for me to work full time. My level of writing/ analysis is good. I worked for 9 years as a graduate in advertising, then some admin work (after I got ill) until I had kids. About 7 years ago I did some more admin in a nursery and then started working with children. I have a first class degree from Warwick uni (long time ago!).
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
