Have you considered being a substitute for child care providers in your area?

We have someone (a retired provider) in my area who subs for daycares in town when one of us providers has a dentist (or whatever) appt or simply needs a day or half day off. She basically works full time but at different daycares each week/day and makes great money.

Plus she is never bored as her environment changes every day and with every job.

Being a regular at a few different daycares she also gets to know families and does evening and weekend care for some of them on the side again, making good money.

Anyways, don't know how or if that would work in your area but some food for thought anyways.
