Advice on what work I can do

Hi, I am a single mother of 2 (youngest is 1 in Feb) I am due to be made redundant in march.
Currently I WFH and do admin. It suits my schedule wonderfully but I do realise how lucky I am now to have this. It gives me time to do school runs and is very flexible.
I need something part time WFH and preferably admin. Is this possible? If not what else could I do to be able to do the drop offs for school&nursery and the pick ups (most days if not all) I know I'm asking a lot here but any ideas please? TIA

Why can't you have an office job, find something around school hours, Ive always done that

Definitely open to this but My DS starts nursery at 8 DD starts school at 9 then I'd need to get to work wherever that may be. What is it you do to sort things out around then hours? I really need suggestions

Also I'm on my own in the weekend with my kids so weekend work is unfortunately out of the question :(

Does the school not have any wraparound care ? Definitely worth checking out temp agencies and possibly your local NHS Trust which can often be flexible or have a creche attached.

Could you use wraparound care?

School hour jobs are pretty rare.

Or start your own cleaning business?
