    This is going to be me next year.
    With DS1 it wont be so bad because all the schools I am looking at have OHSC programs.
    However if he gets the bus, Im not sure how that would work as Id probably have to look at FDC or another parents to pick him up from the bus and look after him until I get home from work.

    There is one day a week when DD finshes school, and DH and I can't guarentee that we will be at school in time to pick her up, so she gets picked up from the daycare across the road from school, they run an afterschool care program, and once DD gets a little older there is an OSHC centre just next to the school.

    Thanks for the responses girls.

    It is just so different to what i am used to as i usually finish a shift at 3pm.
    And as we live in a town with no family (closest is 600km) i need to look into these options.

    I guess the next challenge is finding a employer that is flexible enough not to keep you back late every night!!
