GTKY- Work

minivanmafia

I searched through the board to see if this had been done yet and I didn't see anything so If I may... What do you do for work? :-B I am a certified medical assistant at a small family practice here in my small town and I really do love it. We are working today, while just about everyone else is closed, boo. I hope to go prn here once baby is born and work part time at the local health department as a peer counselor (breastfeeding support) if everything works out and I'm lucky. What about y'all?

I'm a SAHM, before that I was a student. Nothing too fancy about that. After this babe I'm going back to obtain my midwifery degree and hopefully tack on some Lactation Consultant background. Right now I'm working toward my BWI Educator Cert, DOMA Doula cert and looking into LLLI.

camusoh2011

I substitute teach, but won't be able to do it for the start of next year because I am finishing my final semester of school student teaching. I'll be working with a 5th grade class.

minivanmafia

@C3Duffy Seriously. Can we be friends? I would absolutely LOVE to go back and get my RN (and IBCLC) and work in labor and delivery and possible work towards being a midwife. I am excited to go to the CLC class in Atlanta in October and start on this new found passion of mine.

C3Duffy

Friends for lyfeeee Beggs! L&D is definitely a big passion of mine, and since I can't have all the babies... next best thing.

twinmom1121

I'm a SAHM and I love it! I never want to have to go back to work ha! That's what I wanted to do "when I grew up" was be a mom!

minivanmafia

@C3duffy Preach it.

ohbaby714

Currently a SAHM but before that I was a loan officer and a small credit union. I loved my job, but when the opportunity came to be able to stay at home I took it and I'm so glad I did.

ashcody2

I am a bookkeeper for an online sports equipment website - there is another side to our company that's in newspaper preservation that I'm supposed to be taking over HR and their bookkeeping hopefully next year, if the current lady in the position retires.

jjdale288

I am a registered nurse on medical/surgical/pediatric floor. I have been there 6.5 years and love having something different everyday. Before I found out I was pregnant I was thinking of going back to school to get my WCON (wound nurse).

MamaFroFro

I work in a very niche industry. I get to work from home and set my own hours. It's nice! I get to meet lots of interesting leaders of companies and learn about so many industries. I love it!

RN0107

I was a SAHM until my son was about 18 months. I miss it SO much!

je5sc0

I was in sales for a hotel management company. My husband is a pilot and gone 3-5 days a week and we never saw each other, so I quit to be able to travel with him! Once I start feeling better I plan on doing an online interior design course. But my dream job is To be a momma!!!! Can't wait!!! I'm a babyaholic.

mamaek

Couples and Fam. Therapist soon to be SAHM, which I am SO excited about! Worked at a community non profit with individuals and couples, at the children's hospital outpatient psychiatry department and at another hospital serving children and "at risk" youth funded by the county.

I love what I do but I also always wanted to be a mom. After so much school and work here I am, finally.

Edit for adding what I thought I'd already typed.

Yep I'm mobile and have slippery fingers

katieashley13

I'm a 4th grade teacher, but hoping to work it out to be a SAHM when baby comes

FLsquirrel80

I am a Director of Christian Education for a church. Once the baby is born, I plan on doing most of my work from home.

Fullerj21

I'm a family law attorney. I love my job!

brushesnbrunch

I work for the largest cabinet company west of the Rockies. We provide casework to schools and hospitals. Right now I'm with the estimating department as a sales manager, but soon I'll probably step into an operating role working with our new database we implemented this past year.

Before that, I was with a non profit for 6 years doing social work that specialized in children's mental health and partnering with CPS to help keep kids out of foster care.

PaniaO

I'm finishing my last year (internship) of my clinical psychology PhD program. I specialize in geropsych and consult in the care of older adults with a neurocognitive disorder (dementia). I'll take 3.5 months off for baby and still log all the hours I need to graduate as planned, so this pregnancy is perfect timing for me!

bublesmiled

I own a hair salon with my sister.  I love it, wanted to do hair since I was a kid!

erincjackson

I work for my State in Child Care Licensing. I cover a portion of our State and regulate noncompliant child care facilities. Its very hard to put your own child in daycare when all you see everyday are the worst of the worst.

Kiek

I'm a SAHM. Before that I did attendant care for kids with autism. I was essentially a glorified nanny for two different families. Loved my job! DH and I just moved to his home town to start our dream of running a small farm so once that is up and running I can add that to my list.

dataman86

I am Radiographer working FT in CT scanning at a hospital. love it! plan to be off for year after baby's born then return to work. So excited spend time with my DH as well who will 2 and half in Feb.

MississippiCatfish

I'm a hospice RN. I work very few hours, as I stay home with the kids while DH works (and he travels a bit, so that obviously limits how much I can work). If he had more flexibility, I would probably try to work a little more, but such is life

totmeares

Licensed Cosmetologist at heart but I am a Title Clerk for a living. And it's complete hell! Probably going to end up staying home again soon or after this baby. I'm interested in getting my Real Estate license very soon though. So yea I'm all over the place :P
