Im feeling the credit crunch! Ouch!!!!
Hi everyone
Im new to this site but looks interesting and good.
Like a lot of people I am currently starting to feel the credit crunch and as a stay at home mummy to 2 boys and as one has gone to school,.I think I should try and relief the pressure of hubby.
I just dont know what to do, everything I see you have to have experience in!!!
I did work from home a while ago for a charity as a fundraiser which was good and paid ok but mainly eve work and I was missing out on bed/bath with the boys.
I love children and babies and would like something in the field just not sure what, Im not qualified in the area so dont know where to begin (I am willing to learn though but would have to earn at the same time) did think about being a midwife but you have to have 2 A levels which I dont have but have heard of a maternity support worker but dont know how to go about it
I also have found I am more confident than I thought recently and thought maybe of teaching some classes in something maybe child/babies things again just not sure what.
Also I have just seen that Usborne is free for Sept but the school where my little boy goes only does scholastics and another woman does Phoneix would you let this put you off.
Pleae feel free to email me/pm me any ideas you have open to everything (sorry rushing now as hubby hasling me for use of the pc lol)
thanks everyone

I joined Usborne in Sept for the free kit and am already flying with it - mainly selling at groups that me and Max go to anyway!! Schools are a great way too but it doesn't have to be through a fair like scholastic offer there are other ways of getting in there too!
I have to say in some ways I wish I had waited for the October offer on joining as for the ??38 joining fee you get a wopping ??158 of books!!!!! So that is a bonus as well books for your lo!!!!!
Email me at books@the-mountfords.co.uk and I will tell you how I have found it getting started and I will get back to you with all the full info of what the offer is for this month. I am also joined to a fab usborne forum which has been loads of help for me getting started so I can give you the info on that too!
Get in touch and getworking round your family and when you want to!
You can do an access to higher education course which depending on age you could to free and thats eqv to a levels just a suggestion but they have so many courses i know 19-25 get it free n 25+ if u get any benefits or oh earns less than 15500k a year or you could get a council grant or some pay in instalments hope it helps xx

unfortunately to be a child minder from home u still have to have a registered child minders certificate and be registered with ur council, to do it from ur own home also means having tyo have saftey and risk assessments done on ur home whiich may mean that u have tpo make several 'improvements' to ur house
hope this helps
