I am a mother of 2 kids living in Canada. I still have my career and I am wondering if there are some job that allow me to stay home to work , so that I will be able to spend more time to take care of my two young kids.
I tried very hard to search some information online. But however, there are a lot of spams.................I am wondering if there are really some real job that allow me to stay home to work and earn some real income.
Do you live in Canada? Can you give me some ideas?

It's hard find a job, to work here online to work at home,that you can make a living at, I have some web sites, I can give you but you won't be able, to make living from them you had better keep, the job that you have, jobs are hard to come by now,and if you leave your job go to stay at home, you may never find another job, to replace the one you have left, here is the list of web site to earn from swagbucks,$25 unique rewards $20 Inboxdollars $30 Sending Earnings $30, I hope this helps you to earn online,but remember it's going to take time,to earn money from these web sites.

Yes I think the same, it is pretty slow sometimes this sort of job. But it is better than watching TV or chatting on the phone. And you have fun reading interesting comments.

I'm pretty much sure that working online can be available in most parts of the world.
Writing can be one of the best thing for you to try. There are many writing sites online where you can earn some amount like Expertscolumn, wikinut and others.
Have a great day!

I also interested in work from home, but I still look for the right one. As what you said there are a lot of spam, but hope you'll find the honest online income. And when you start to work at home, be smart to manage your time both for your family and your job.

I'm not sure about your country. In my country, you can find jobs like that, but it's hard to find a proper one. Most are MLM and telemarketing. But I was doing media observing online at a reliable company. I think there are also telephone jobs as well, such as advice giving dials. But I don't really know about Canada.

Most online jobs are a scam, make sure it is a trusted company. It is very hard to find online work. I would suggest looking into Medical Transcription, and customer service rep. you could find something perhaps for shaw instead of at a call center but at home.
I live in canada and work at home as a math tutor online. so think about what skills you could offer online, then look for opportunities. Good luck in the job search!!

Besides writing for places, or doing an online business of some sort, I am not sure what is out there and available to do from home that might bring in some decent income. I am sure if you really look around, and willing to do what it takes, their is probably something out there.

Some would suggest that you make raising your 2 kids a career. There are many incarcerated today because their moms ignored them in favor of a job. We raised 4 boys, which interrupted my wife's career as a Registered Nurse, but she took time off when they were small, and started working again when they were teenagers.
You didn't tell what your career is, or what else you can do besides housework?

I think it would be hard to concentrate between online jobs and caring for your children. I used to have a home office and it was very hard to find a balance in it without staying up half the night to make up time.
My daughter is expecting her second child (yup going to be a grandma again) and she opted to do daycare in her home. Since there was a tax increase here in the states, she could make more staying home then when she was working full time.
It also gives my 3 year old grand daughter playmates to keep that social interaction.

I don't live in canada, so I don't know too much about there. But, I know that in the United States they are trying to cut back on jobs that people do at home. People still come up with home based businesses all the time, but many companies feel that they are doing a diservice to themselves and to their employees that work at home. Especially women, because they already are without all the same opportunities as men here, and working from home through a company would appear to stunt career growth. I think that if you want to work from hom you may want to look into starting your own business. Again, I don't live in Canada so I don't know how it works over there, but this is how it is in the United States.

If you are looking to replace a full time income with work that you are able to do from home, I really don't think this is something that would be really easy to do. Trust me, I've been looking for a way to do it for several years and the majority of what I've found is heartache and scams.
That said, if you are looking for a small supplemental income, it is something that is possible to do. Me, I'm working several different GPT sites and I also do some article writing as well in order to supplement my husband's income.

How about running an online shop at home? I know many people around me do like that, especially some young mums. They can stay at home, taking care of their babies while ruuning an online shop.

Hi! I'm taking care of my son too who is still young. I can't work full time outside so I decided to find an online job however I work part time online too. I do write and submit articles in one company. You may write looking for writing job at Odesk. It is a legal site and not a scam. You may also put up an online shopping store. It works as well. Good luck and be careful too there were many scams online that do not pay. Have a blessed Holy Week!
