Definitely get different hours :/ Not only is it distracting to yourself and your custie, but it's dangerous. She could do anything from stick her fingers in an electric socket to pull a bookshelf over her. Unless she's like, 6-7 (in which case she'd be in school) do not leave her alone. My son's four (it's actually his birthday today!) and I've always just cammed either when he's sleeping or when my parents have him for the weekend, and it works perfectly for us because he's sleeping so I don't have to worry about him getting into something or randomly crying for me in a PVT, and my husband stays out in the kitchen/living room so if our son gets up he can put him back to bed and I don't have to worry about him running into the room. Sticking her in the other room for even 15 minutes at the least could mean her yelling for you and crying, at the most it could be really dangerous. I suggest either camming at night, or paying for a sitter/daycare/preschool. Camming isn't worth putting her in danger.
Thank you, I will have to try her with a childminder, if not maybe looking at other types of work from home jobs, if anyone also has any work from home job advice I would be very grateful too.
Thing is I really don't actually want to go back to camming, but I need to really pull my weight and start making money somehow but I'm useless at everything, I not confident crap at interviews only thing I'm good at is minding my daughter I wish I could sort my life our feel so down
Nights are best, until she starts school then you could work days while she's in school and nights.
Arrange for childcare or wait till naptime/bedtime
Maybe look at some babysitting/nanny jobs since you said you're only good at caring for your child. But if you still decide to cam, do it at night.
This may help... Work from home suggestions :)

Forgive me if I'm reading too much into what you just said, but was it your husband by any chance who told you that you need to pull your weight but you're useless? Because if you're clever enough to look after your little girl, that's already something you're good at. Would babysitting be an option?
Depending on where you're based, your local libary or the council may have a job advice centre, including things like CV workshops and interview practice sessions. If your confidence is so low that it's stopping you fron trying to get jobs, it may actually be something to mention to your GP as a mental health issue, you may be able to get some counseling.
You can cam at night, of course, but if you don't want to, it's not the only thing you can do.
Good luck!
You're definitely not useless! Your caring after your young child which is a full-time job in itself. I was always exhausted after my nannying job a few years ago.
Anyway, I would cam a few hours while she is sleeping to see if camming is right for you. If it's worth it financially I'd definitely look into childcare services. I don't think a toddler should be left alone during the day.
Does she take a nap in the daytime? You could try camming then. Otherwise, try to arrange daycare a couple days a week, or just cam in the evenings/weekends. I have a very hard time camming when my daughter is home even when my husband's there to watch her. I'm so grateful for daycare otherwise I'd never work lol.
Sounds like the best option is to cam at night when she's asleep... That's what I've always done but just now my mother in law is retired and will watch my youngest for a few hours a day so I can switch to day shifts. Do you have any family members that can watch her? Unless you are making a significant amount of money, paying for child care might leave you spending more than it's worth. Is she old enough for any pre-kindergarten programs? I'm not sure how it works in the UK.
If you don't want to cam to begin with, it's probably not a good idea either way. Check out some of the suggestions in the work from home thread that Layla posted. I certainly hope it's not your husband making you feel like you have to work otherwise you are "useless". :-/
I don't think this would work for a big box site, but an independent cam site where you do skype shows like livecammodelshows or cammodeldirectory would work.
What I use to do is have myself logged in all day. I'd take my kids out to the park (which is right outside my house so I still get wifi) or we would just continue with our daily activities. When I would book a show I'd just get the kiddos situated with a TV show or a snack and head in the other room for 10 minutes. Most of my shows we're 10 minutes long. It worked because the length of a show is short enough that the kiddos were entertained during that time. I would have never been able to log into a big box site because the $$ is not guaranteed and with kiddos around there were a number of other factors that would make that not work for me.
Now I can afford a really amazing daycare center for my kiddos so it's non-issue. But that's what I needed to do at the time. I usually booked about 6 shows a day at $30 a show which came out to $24 each show after the 20% site cut, and left me with $144 a day.
Hi guy thanks for the brilliant advice , its not my partner that makes me feel useless I am just a person who gets really down about not being able to chip in moneywise and stuff , I guess I just like to always help out financially I guess I will have to look at other ways to make money until my daughter is older
I wouldn't do any live camming during the day while my kid is home, but I sometimes will work on short clips and promotional things while she is distracted for a moment.
If you really feel the need to work, why not sign up on care.com as a sitter?
