Teaching Assistant course

I am currently a mum of 2 a 3 year old girl and a 5 week old girl, they are my world im on maternity at the moment and im dreading going back to work and leaving my babies it breaks my heart thinking im going to miss them growing up, my place of work is shift work so it's some days and some nights not ideal with small children. I've been looking into becoming a teaching assistant therefore I can work around my kids. I've looked into the course and because me and my partner work we get no help towards funding this which is unbelievable as the materials you also need for the course are expensive so im trying to raise funds to enable me to live my dream and watch my children have the best lives possible much love thanks x
