Look around where you would want to live, with children a smaller town would be better, perhaps close to a larger city where you can work but not too far in case they need you. Look for a job and find out what the rent is, visit the city nearby, check out the schools. Drive through the area at night. Driving in the evening through a neighborhood gives you a better sense of what the area is like. Once you know how much the rent is in a decent neighborhood you will know what it would cost you to live there and then you can start searching for a job. Also, remember if you have qualifications and get an offer and it does not seem to pay enough but they really want you, ask for more by saying ';I would love to accept this position if you could enhance the starting salary';. You would be surprised at their response and if they say they can't afford to pay you more, you didn't hurt a thing.How can I move to a new city being a single parent with no help?
Reasearch,reasearch,research............鈥?to see if the town you are moving to offers a child care referral service,a physican referral service,and possibly has a chatroom that you can go into to get a feel for the community.Find your community resources first,and the transition will be a lot easier for both you and your children.
