I know very well just how the jobs market has changed. But maybe there are still some IT opportunities around that involve working from home?
For quite some time I did work as a 'Mystery Shopper' mostly from home.
Maybe look further afield for IT at home possibilities.
Yes, I do know only too well how difficult it is.

Rayna, you right not to be tempted into care work if it's not you. It's far more 'basic' and far more demanding than you could ever imagine. Lot's of care homes now taking on residents that should really be in nursing home. Closures and cuts having a huge impact.

Stay positive and good luck.
