What job to do next

I am genuinely lost about what job to do next but I do know I need a change!

I'm 37 and I've been a nanny for 20 years, I'm very good at it and very in demand so I've stuck with it probably 3 or 4 years longer then I wanted to because it was easy (the job is not, not having the unknown and the ability to find work is 😂). I've also been a virtual assistant for a company for the last 2 years but I fell into that rather then hunted it out.

I actually love the VA work and I love the admin and organising side of being a nanny but I don't actually know how to even start looking for more work like that. Maybe I shouldn't be, maybe I should be doing something else, but what?!

I don't think I want to work directly with children anymore, its been so wonderful but I am ready for a change and I want to be able to give it my everything, they deserve that.

I would love to work remotely but I appreciate that so do so many so that's probs not feasible!

I would love any thoughts or ideas or being pointed in the direction of somewhere or someone that could help me work it out.

TIA

Can you lean in to or find more of the VA work? I assume that's work from home?

Otherwise, maybe sign with a temp agency and try a few different admin jobs out. See what resonates with you.

Best of luck!
