was wondering what jobs all you mums with kids starting school in 2008 are gonna do?

thats it really. I don't have a 'career' as such but don't know what kind of job I can do that allows for school holidays. Do any of you know if there are any companies that allow unpaid leave for school hols? I though about temping maybe month to month but am not sure how that will work. I probably can do pretty much anything and am not fussy but am not 'overly' qualified. Any ideas please

i work part time, tuesdays and thursdays, i love my job but i very much "work to live" not "live to work" dont know what im going to do next year, will probably have to up my hours (dilema because i would have to leave at 8.10am and pay more in cm fees) or more likely look for some thing extra for mon, wed, fri which would ideally start around 9.30 and end 2.30, and be term time only! does such a job exist?? i want it!!

Hiya, most councils offer flexible working to help parents with children under six years of age fit in their job around family life. This includes options such as just working during termtime and taking unpaid leave during the school holidays.

My dd starts school in 2009 but I'm already planning, I work for a local council who are very good about term time working, I currently work 3 days per week, would like to do full time term time and part time in the holidays when dd starts school, if they have the budget to increase my hours they'll do this. However I'm also trying to train to be a forest school leader and I'm hoping to pick up some work in schools like this or maybe as a teaching assistant if the council work doesn't happen.
