Returning to work

I’m dreading returning to work and considering either not working at all (and being broke) or looking for something part time. I can’t do my old job now I have a baby, it’s too much stress and I can’t afford full time childcare. Is anyone else in the same boat or have ideas for part time jobs? 🥹

Hey mommas, this is absolutely out of my comfort zone but I’m all done feeling lonely. Im a mom of three girls (5yo, 3yo and a 4mo). I’m also engaged and been with my man for going on 8 years in December. I’m an introvert until you really get to know me and I’m comfortable with you. I love to read romance books, bake whatever sounds good— lately that’s been any kind of bread and cake pops. I also love to binge tv shows new and ones I’ve seen before. I like to be at home but I also really enjoy getting out, going to parks or getting a treat. I’m returning to work part time from maternity leave in early August. I’m an RBT so I’m always with children and more adult conversations would be a bonus. Im located in northern Indiana but I’m open to a long distance friendship.

I’m looking for a best friend, someone to text back and forth, chat over FaceTime about our days, send TikTok’s or reels back and forth, etc. Just someone to share life with, support each other and confide in. I want a long lasting and meaningful friendship!

Which job?

Context: SAHM with 2 special needs children. Husband works hundreds of hours per week and averages 4 hours of sleep, so I do 100% of the parenting, household work, and garden maintenance. Having said that, both kids will be at the same school this year and can do before and aftercare there, allowing me to work.

Job A: 1:1 RN for medically complex child who needs me to attend school with them, follows my children’s school schedules, summers off, etc. $44/hr FT, provides consistent work but forces me to delegate some of the household stuff like cleaning and yard, also difficult if children are sick as I have no support or backup and would have to call out

Job B: contract WFH AI research job, 20 hrs/ week, $75/hr, could end though at anytime though (1-6 months)

Help?!?!🤪
