Is choosing a job needed by women, such as a nursery, for the purpose of pleasing the mother and helping her with expenses, considered a circumvention of the Shar’i conditions for women’s work, even though the financial situation is comfortable?

There is no objection to a woman going out to work, provided she adheres to the Sharia-compliant conditions. This is not a blameworthy ploy; rather, it is a rewarded action if she intends by it to please and assist her mother. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, permitted Jabir's aunt to go out to harvest her date palms.
