Why can't you go out to work in the evenings when your partner is home? Or work during the day part time sharing child care with another part timer?

My missus has been looking into doing online surveys. Have you been doing it for long? Is it worth it?

Do work 3 evenings a week supervising students studying at a school boarding house, have done some relief teaching and kids go to daycare for those 2 days but as there are only 4 secondary schools in our town the relief teaching is not coming in that thick and fast - need to supplement this.

Just a thought, but have you aplied to the primarys too?

I know someone that is a secondary pe teacher but has been doing relief in the local primary!

The online surveys are a nightmare, a lot of work for hardly anything. The mystery shopper is much better! Each visit you do earns between $5-$30 depending on the company!
