Theodora, why you don't try to find a family, where you can also stay and take care of children or older people - I think a lot of people would like to have you, with your knowledge of a nurse and also about how to deal with a house...( I am sure you have also other knowledge that might be useful for busy couples) in their house to supervise some members of family.

There was a time when I rented a room to an over 70 old gentleman in my house, brought by Salvation Army just as he was, with no luggage, and I made him for years a member of my family (cooking, cleaning and buying him a part from what he needed) just because my child was calling him "grandpa" - in lack of other family member than me. I was-am an immigrant here and he was just an old lonely Canadian gentleman (immigrant from Scotland but with 50 years before me) I appreciated that he loved my child and my child was found of him in such a way that she presented everywhere as her grandpa. He played with her, talked in English... and that way I had some time to breath while my child was happy.
