Scared of finding a new job

in Work & Study
I work in a nursery as a 1-2-1 support Worker.
I love my job and have been there since 2015 but it was easy starting work as I volunteered as a student back in 2012 until 2013.
I worked for the summer 2013 and it wasn’t a bad job but I didn’t like it so it got me a little down until I returned to College. Once I returned to College I volunteered at a lovely nursery for a year before finishing for the summer and doing yet another summer job.
This one has stayed with me for all the wrong reasons!!! I don’t want to go into detail but being there made me ill. I was having loads of migraines, epileptic seizures (not fits/blackout ones) and I would cry before most of my shifts.
my family noticed a difference in me too and in the end I had to quit! this was due to staff more than the job itself (although that wasn’t great either.)
I Went back College again and volunteered as a student in a children’s centre for a year.
so as I said I’m working in the nursery I first volunteered in and love it.
unfortunately I may have to leave soon due there currently not being any children who require support coming back in September (this could change.)
So I’m looking for a new job at the moment but I’m terrified at the same time what if people hate me, what if it’s as bad as my last summer job, what if I can’t get the hang of the paperwork!
at the moment I work with the manager to ensure the paperwork is right.
I’m terrified of feeling like I did back at my last summer job. It’s easier being a student where if you’re unhappy you can talk to the college and get moved. You can’t with a paid job.
I know I should think positive but I’m terrified of being a failure or haua bad experience like last time.

this is due to there currently not being a child returning who requires support.
