[quote=Anonymous] OP here. Thanks for all the suggestions. Trader Joes is a 35 mile drive for me. The container store is in Maryland. Well, there is one in Va but it's more than 40 miles from me. UPS was a good suggestion but the hours don't work with the schedule I can work. We can't rent a room in our house as we have a 3 bedroom house and no spare bedrooms (when we have a visitor they sleep on our sleeper sofa in the living room!). We have no basement to rent out. As far as childcare, we have dogs (one of which is considered a "guard" dog but its not a pit bull although he is great with kids so that scares people off and makes too much liability). In addition, I often have to go places in the daytime (appointments, running errands, etc) and some people aren't comfortable with me bringing their kids places. Today, for example, I have to visit the bank, go to the grocery store and I have one afternoon appointment. It's honestly exhausting just bringing my own kids. I prefer not to visit the grocery store on the weekends due to the crowds. I'll buy my stuff for the 4th of July today. I do not have a college degree but was a career nanny for nearly eight years. I am currently studying towards certification and will hopefully pass the exam this fall. I'm not in school as we can't take on any additional debt. My certification will allow me to work within the next year and I can be semi self employed. I'm going to keep applying for jobs and will tell restaurants I'm willing to be kitchen help if that leads me to something else. I've always been a good worker so I know I can prove myself. I will keep an open mind. Thanks everyone, your suggestions have helped :)[/quote]
