Burnout / Whats your career?

Only Working Moms responses please.

Hi,
I'm a mom to a 4 year old. Married but single moming while husband drives trucks. I feel like I'm at a crossroad I'm so burned out having to do everything parenting related on top of working m-f .. I feel burnt out and unmotivated. I don't hate my job, but I am kind of over it right now. It's manageable, I don't feel like I need to quit asap but I am thinking about my next move. I need something that brings in more money and is flexible enough for me to be a single mom that's actively involved in my kids life and not just surviving or coasting. Especially next year when she starts kindergarten. Current role is a nurse but I'm in the south so there's that..moving isn't an option. I've done much research around nursing roles and I'd either have to be a contract nurse on the floor or go into some type of admin role and I want neither of those. Remote jobs based out of other states is a possibility but I'm afraid of the layoffs so I've not considered those roles too much. Wondering if I want to do something entirely different?? What type of job do you have that you love and makes good money and allows you to attend school functions and not be at a 1% battery life by the time you get home from work ??
