Single mom of kindergarteners and working as RN

Published

Hi... I need some advice on how to deal with this type of issue.

I am a 41-years old single working mom of 5 years-old twins.

I went through hard times like most of single mom did. When I got divorced I didn't have anything but myself and twins so I decided to go back to nursing school to become a RN to support my twins. I have been working as RN for a year and a half.

I want to move out of my parents' house as soon as I finish my BSN in December because they've given me too much stress about everything from raising my kids to dating somebody...etc. My parents want everything the way they want.

I work 3 night shift(7p-7am) and I go to class once a week to get my BSN. My parents are used to watch my twins while I am working at night.

My twins will start kindergarten soon..

I just need some advice from single moms who went through same problems..

Where can I you put my twins while I am working at night or day if I don't get any help from family member?

Because of my hours of working at night, it will be hard to find someone to watch my kids...

Even if I find day-shift RN position, how can I find some place that open so early in the morning and give rides to my twins' school?

Any ideas or Suggestions?

Thank you..

That's a tough spot. How about a live-in nanny?

there are daycares that open early for day shift positions, there are also home daycares that will work with your hours, ask the school they will be attending if there is a list of daycares that pic up and drop off to the school, but personally I would not move out my parents house just yet, if you do move can you pay your parents to drop them to school and continue to watch your kids, at least you will have a piece of mind
