Any moms that work from home?

At the end of my mat leave I will not have a job to go back to. I'm trying to find or create a way that I can still have an income, and be at home with the kids, or a super flexible job that will allow me to work around my hubby's shift work. Any suggestions?

  • I work from home (am working right now, LOL) for my old office.  We moved away, but they liked me enough, I guess, to find a way to keep me on part-time.  I go into the office once a week (bring DS with me) and work from home the rest of the time.  It's a lot harder than I thought it would be!  DS is a pretty calm kiddo, but as he gets older, he requires more attention.  I also find it challenging to juggle work, caring for DS, and keeping up the house.  I feel guilty a lot because at least one thing is always being compromised to deal with others.

     I would recommend not doing something involving phones unless it has a flexible schedule or you have someone else to look after the kids when needbe!  I pretend that the baby noise is just patients in our reception area when people call!  I primarily do billing (and also answer phones during my office's midday hiatus); medical billing and transcription are two big work-from-home fields.  I believe telemarketing, if you don't mind that, is one of the easiest work-from-home jobs to find that doesn't require specialized training, and a lot of times you can work in the evenings when DH would be home.  

     Good luck!
