I am now doing supply teaching and it suits me to a T! The money is good, the hours are up to you and the best part about it...there is no marking, staff meetings, parent/teacher meetings, playground duties...oh and did I say there is no marking? :)<br /><br />Good luck with everything and don't worry about the kids. They will be fine!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Natasha.Natasha in Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975487981963489572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538295267652217302.post-2351342839948738932011-01-04T10:26:03.228+11:002011-01-04T10:26:03.228+11:00Hi there,

There is only a tiny amount of training that happens over holiday periods so I'm nearly always at home with the kiddies over that period. It's an awesome career choice for a parent.Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000744521538367332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538295267652217302.post-35831492326651207652011-01-04T07:47:47.807+11:002011-01-04T07:47:47.807+11:00I only used childcare (a lovely retired peadiatric...I only used childcare (a lovely retired peadiatric nurse for a Nanny) when i had one & i was straight out of Uni working in the oil industry. Then i had twins & happily retired with my 2 degrees & 3 little girls aged 26. I haven't looked back, started my own business from home & had a boy, who is now 7 & have never had to worry about childcare, babysitters or after school care. Sure we're poor but we move every 2 years with the Army & even with my eldest starting high school this year too (good luck) i love being a housewife (not really a stay at home mum when you're the only one actually at home!!) My husband is away (for these 3 years) 90% of the time, so i have to be the constant & do everything, so this is just my life. I have zero plans on ever using my degrees, i can not see it ever working with 4 sporty, social & smart children, my weekends are insane enough with sport, parties & homework!! <br />Good luck finding a good balance, i can understand you not wanting her to go home to an empty house, but when would you feel comfortable leaving her home to babysit herself or your other child?? It's a big step isn't it?? We've done little trips to the shops with our eldest home, she kind of likes the power.

When they were growing up, I was very lucky in that I was able to work from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., so I was always there when they arrived home from school. My parents used to look after them during school holidays, so I was very, very lucky. Hope you get something sorted out, because I know it can be a bit of a worry.Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.com
