[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That arrangement sucks. Also, you say your hours will be 1-9 p.m. but in a later post say you don't know what your hours will be
 I don't mean to sound rude, but frankly,  I would put off the job until your child is in preschool,  it sounds like you could get this job anytime. What did you do before you had your DC?[/quote]

Op. My hour's could be anytime between 1 - 9 pm but I will have my schedule when training starts. I could work as little as 15 hour's per week to begin with. This job is seasonal with potential to be full time. I do have a very close friend who wants to take care of my son in the weekday afternoons. The job was not hard to get so I am confident that I could get it again in the future. I really do want to work.

I think that, between your friend taking the kid during the day, having your husband handle the kid in the evenings, and working away from others in the closet, you’ve developed enough of a plan to get started. It doesn’t have to be perfect. The worst case scenario sounds like your kid is noisy and you get fired. But it was an easy to get, low wage job that’s actually happening at a relatively inconvenient time. And maybe I’m wrong, but it doesnt sound like the income will make or break your family’s budget. To me, the stakes seem pretty low. [b]Just give it a go and don’t worry so much[/b].[/quote]

This is really good advice. Op you will be fine. I work from home in a customer service representative position and I work odd hours. It's hard but not impossible to do this with a toddler.
