send some positive vibes my way please! - UPDATE post #11

I've been a stay at home mom since our first child was born 7 years ago. Lately the dollar just dosen't stretch as far so I've been searching and searching for something I can do and still be with my youngest during the day and also meet the school bus for my oldest in the afternoon. I've been applying for babysitting jobs and jobs at the childcare centers in all of the local gyms. Last week one of the gyms contacted me but then said they made a mistake and didn't have any shifts open that fit my schedule. Well, the lady just emailed me again and said they now have several (!) shifts avaliable for me and she wants me and my youngest to come in on Monday! She wants to give my dd a practice run and see how she'll do with me not in the room and with me caring for and playing with other children.

Please think some positive thoughts that I'll get a job offer It also includes a free gym membership I'm also feeling I need this since I've been feeling really down since my youngest was born almost 18 months ago, very lonely and isolated and think an outside job would be good for my wallet and my outlook on life

Thanks!

Sounds good to me. Try it out and see. I wish I had gyms that had daycares near me cuz I would do that in a heartbeat.

Good luck to you! Sounds like a good job choice for you at this point in your life. Hope it all works out.

I hadn't thought of that as an option. I might have to check into that idea at my gym. They have a child watch program too

Thanks for the idea!

Own it, it's yours.

Go get it!

I got the job!! Right now it's only 2 mornings a week, so 6 hrs a week, but there's always the chance to pick up more shifts and they haven't completely finished the schedule. I am strictly mornings Monday - Friday and won't ever have to work later than 12 noon (unless I pick up someone's shift that goes later)
It's not going to pay for my WDW trip but it's a little extra $ and it gets us out of the house

Good for you!! sounds like a great way to make some extra cash and get back into a working enviornment. Glad that it is working out.
