Homeschool parent with side cleaning job, can I deduct mileage?feel

I'm a homeschool parent and I have a side cleaning job on Fridays, which is considered self-employment work. On Fridays I am leaving my primary residence where I am working to educate my children to go to this other cleaning job. Is it possible to deduct mileage to that particular job? Or is that simply considered commuting? Please help, I cannot believe the amount of taxes taken for this cleaning job, it took me from $20/hr down to $14 after taxes, it feels out of control and unnecessary!
