For some of us late comers to the group , as maybe it has been discussed before. What do you do for a living? ( or what did you do pre-baby, or what are you in school for, or what will you be returning to?)

Meganbryn

I am a health care assistant. I work in a seniors facility on the complex care floor. The majority of my residents are severely demented or are full care with lifts etc.

I'm a school Social worker

I was a flight attendant. There was no feasible way to make it work post-baby, so now I'm a SAHM. As of recently I've been doing some photography for friends and family and the little bit of extra cash has been nice.

I am in advertising. Do a lot of cause marketing campaigns that i love but it is definitely hard balancing this and baby. Not a 9-5 job for sure and I often have to work after she goes to bed. I daydream about staying at home but we could never afford it.

Joi922  not working for a law firm is the ticket.  I have a very good work life balance working for a company as opposed to a law firm.  There have been 7 babies born just in the last 4 years just in my department alone and we are a small group so there is a lot of flexibility and understanding from the other groups I work with.

I'm a hairdresser. I work part time and hope to have my own salon either at home or close by before we have #2 so the kids can be at work with me. We wouldn't be able to afford child care for 2 kids. And can't afford for me to quit either.

I was searching for a full time job when I got pregnant so I did a few temporary assignments and then got a full time job at Target. I took a break for 3 months after having LO and then worked part time at Target until June. I have been a soccer coach for 5 years. Right now I am looking to get back into a professional setting as an administrative assistant. Financially I need to be working in some capacity to help cover our student loans but balancing that with DC needs is rough.

I was a Fraud Investigator for a private company. The company was bought out right as we were getting married and I knew kids were next on the agenda so I did not try to find another job.

I'm a occupational therapist assist at a short term rehab. I work full time now but am hoping to go part time after our next LO.

VitaLuna

RN at a large hospital. I've been working in the same surgical specialty for 4+ yrs and need a change (particularly after getting attacked by a patient a couple weeks ago). I have word in with the manager of the NICU/mother baby/pediatrics float pool for a position when one eventually comes available.

KCLeaSLP

I am a speech language pathologist specializing in geriatric. I love my job and it's nice with LO now because it is very flexible. Only downside is we work all holidays, even the big ones usually short days but still!

HBirdie

I was a phlebotomist, now I'm a student, I'm getting my teaching degree.

jlp0528

I am a certified elementary teacher and English as a second language teacher but there are next to no positions ever where I live in western pa. I only sub when H has off every other Friday because otherwise I would work to pay for daycare and probably wouldn't even make enough to cover day care. So SAHM mostly.

I was in accounts receivable and customer service for an automotive electronics company for 7 years before LO. I decided being a SAHM was right for us, shortly after LO was born.

@triplea598 I love my job. Each state is a little different as far as what is in our scope of practice. I carry out all treatments after their initial evaluation. The hours are great and it's very rewarding. The pay is fairly good, my sister is a hygienist, she makes more per hour but has had a hard time finding a full time position. I have good benefits and found a full time position right after I finished school. Good Luck, both are great careers.

I haven't been on in a while...

I worked at an advertising agency. I worked on monthly ad campaigns and dealt with our clients on a daily basis. Sahm now.
