New job

Hiya all, just looking for some kind words....
I start my new job on Monday.I am a bit nervous as I have worked from home for the last 15 years as a childminder. Now my children are all adults and with the ever changing rules and paperwork involved in childminding I have a new full time job as nursery nurse in a nursery.
Being out of the home all day will do me some good but @ nearly 50 it is a big change.I am also conserned that the other girls may be a lot younger!
Oh well, I have put my toe in, on Monday I have to jump in with both feet :eek:
Thanks for reading :o
If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

  • good luck - starting a new job can be daunting - but hopefully your work colleagues will be nice and make you feel welcome -
    The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.:o

    Best of luck... I am also starting my new job on Monday, so you won't be alone :)

    & your age will be a bonus I reckon, you will have lots of help and advice to offer the younger girls...

  • Hey...

    It seems Monday is the day for starting a new job. I'm off on my first day of my first career job and my friend is starting a new job which is on the way to her dream job.

    So good luck and fingers crossed.
