Nursery nurse wanting advice

[StaciUK 10]

I currently work as a nursery nurse and have several years experience now. Lately, I have been thinking of a change. I still want to stay in the child are profession but would like advice on what I could do.

 

I would love school work but I've heard there is talk of phasing teaching assistants out so it's abit risky.

 

Any suggestions would be helpful or websites too.

Have you thought of child minding? I am a mum and go to a playgroup and the place is full of childminders. Have you spoken to any of them? Funnily enough I was chatting to a nursery nurse at my son's nursery yesterday and they told me about the jobs they have done. They worked in a school, as a nursery nurse and as a nanny. Nannies get paid per hour, rather than per child. There are a few options. Have you talked to your colleagues? Have you contacted a school to see if you can chat to a teaching assistant? They may have ideas.

I was a nursery nurse then trained as a nurse.. Brilliant career (if you ignore the current trend for nurse bashing!!)
