Genuine advice needed! Yes it's about finances but my head will pop if I can't get something in place...

long story kinda shortened down... I've worked from the age of 15 (now 30) I've worked in the care sector for all of my work life, wouldn't of changed it as I love this line of work, but, in my last care job I worked nights for 5 years, I had our second child and my old work place basically did me very dirty while I was maternity leave and I had to get the union involved, short version I left there as it became clear to me they wanted me out anyways as I was bringing up issues the company was not address or fixing, risking staff and individuals in the company (I'm still fighting for them) anyways... since leaving there and deciding to concentrate on raising our 2 children for a bit I got onto benefits (3 months so far) my husband works full time and pays for main bills and whatnot I the pay for food, fuel and also a small portion of the bills too.

I am aiming to go back to a job in September, the reason I'm not working currently our newest child has some developed delays and needs a little more time being home and having me raise them instead of a nursery.

But to the point, I need some sort of advice or guidance into getting some sort of extra support within the financial area. I've looked into working from home but i don't have any experience besides working in care, so if anyone has any advice/guidance this would be appreciated alot!

(please don't come at me and say just got back to work, or your husband should work harder or get a better job, we know that but as I said our youngest isn't quite ready to be able to go to nursery yet) we're working on it all. x
