a new career -its never to late - Real Mum story on MoM

8 Comments

After being made redundant while on maternity leave, I was struggling to find a job.
Years of experience in corporate, vet nursing, retail, meant nothing as I have no formal qualifications.
After taking my daughter to swimming lessons, I realised I wanted to work with children As a swim teacher.
it’s taken . Months of unpaid training to get my austswim certificate and now I finally have a shift next term.
I am also trying to get my babies and toddlers certificate too.
I so excited.
I am 41 and want you all to know it’s never to late to change careers.
Thank you for reading my story

Good on you. I’m in childcare and have decided that instead of going back to work in a centre i am going to buy one. It’s going to be a huge commitment but totally worth it i think!
