job search

The last several days I have been job searching. For someone who has been at home with my kids for the last 8 1/2 years, re-entering the job force hasn't been that easy. If only I had my massage license, I would begin working as a massage therapist. But I don't have it yet (still waiting!) so I have to take a job out of the non-massage therapist area. : )

So far I have applied for 10 jobs, and just waiting to hear. I have to have my kid in child care anyway, so I am considering a job as a nanny. I worked as a nanny years ago (before we adopted Ravi) and really loved it. How ever, what I would really love is to be the nanny for MY kids...or actually a stay at home mom. I can't imagine caring for someone elses children while I have to put my kids in their camp, but I suppose that during the summer, they would be there anyway. And all three will be in school in the fall. So looks like no matter what, I have time to work, and need to work.

Wish me luck!

Thanks Sunita,

I hope that I won't have to take a job here, and that I will be able to move. But I can't depend on that, so I am searching. I don't care what I do right now. Since I type very fast, that will likely be where my work falls...administrative associate or something like that. It should bring me in something like $12.00 per hour. That is peanuts to what I am capable of making...up to $60.00 per hour per massage.

I am hoping for my license to come.

Thanks again!
