Thank you all so much for your replies. Such good suggestions.

Feeb thats what I was worried about as I know its hard to get a job there. I'd hate for her to do a degree and not get employment so thought if she started as soon as she was old enough maybe she will be a more desirable employee. Volunteer work would be great as she could start that when she was a little older.

Catherine in Kindergarten I wanted to be a nurse and that never changed. By Year 7 I wanted to be a midwife and thats exactly what I am (a nurse/midwife) thats one of the reasons I want ot help her now or in the near future if she does stick to that path as unlike nursing been a zookeeper doesn't have the employment opportunites nursing does.

Zarava good idea about the zoo stay. I should get her an annual pass.

Bec and Catherine thanks for the links.
