Being a computer science person you have definitely scope in the job area but today there is a huge rush of people searching jobs in physical mode as well as in online and due to that the situation is becoming tougher day by day. Still with hard work and focus one can get that ambition fulfilled. In your case due to the kid, it would be difficult for you to go out for job but nowadays in many parts of our country there are child care centres who charge some fees and take care of child for quite a substantial time. So you can keep that option also in mind in case you get a job near your residence so that you can attend to the child also in case of some emergency.

You have some teaching experience but you are not inclined for delivering tuitions so that stream is almost closed for you. Let us see what are other options possible in your case. Before going for that today wherever you want to work offline or online the employers will ask your academic or professional strengths and in that perspective I would like that you first acquire some additional certification or diploma in a niche area so that you can get an engagement easily. Being a generalist would not help much in the present scenario an everyone is having some special qualifications in their kitty of learning. Being a computer science person you can think of undertaking some course which would make you more eligible for a large range of jobs.

Interestingly, the basic course is even free of charge at some leading sites.

I have also gone through the same situation so I think am perfect to answer this. I am an engineer with 5 years of experience in the Automation industry. After marriage and delivering the child, I had to focus only on my priority the family and child. When my daughter turned 2 years old then I learned new things such as Photoshop, Web designing for some online projects. Till then it was a gap of more than 4 years after I left my previous job. I had no option to work full time sitting in the office and I also lost interest to work in Industry.

After learning the new skills, I registered on Upwork.com as a freelancer and started my career again working from home. It was tough to grab projects from the customers because of high competition among the freelancers but I managed to draw the attention of customers and found small projects initially. Later I did better and one of my clients approached me to offer a part-time job to assist in her online website. Now I am happily working with her.

So you can become a freelancer and find out the different suitable projects for you. If you need to polish your skills then you must do it because you have to shine differently among the competitors to grab the project.

Since you have teaching experience then you can also try to become an online tutor or teacher. There are so many websites or online platforms such as Unacademy, Byjus, Whitehat junior, Vedantu, etc where you can register as a teacher and start working from your own place and earn monthly.
