Good working mother careers/jobs

After reading all responses to this discussion, I have a couple of other ideas. There is such a thing as job sharing, have you checked on anything like that? I don't know where people are who talk about 8-4 or 9-5. In my 25+ years of experience, I have never seen this. It is more common everywhere I have lived to see 7-4 or 8-5 (most common). There is also an idea of a home based business, which is what I do. This allows me the flexibility to work my schedule around my family. I think it is wonderful you have been able to be home with your baby until school age. I have always felt these are the most formative of a childs life & whenever possible one of the parents should be home with their children. It is commendable! KUDOOS to you and your hubby!

Hi! I have always thought of that also since I have an 8 month old son, however...I got pregnant again so I have to stay at home. It's kind of hard not to earn anything and depend on your husband though. Well, why don't you start your own business. Start a day care center where you can take care of your child and at the same time work. Get some office work also. Right now, since I have nothing to do..I'm just doing this and looking for online opportunities.

Check with your child's school. It would be super convenient to work at the school, and you would have the same days off as your child and the same hours. Maybe in the library or cafeteria if you don't have a degree. =)

why not trying in home based or online jobs so that your the boss of your time??? i think it would be nicer and easier to adjust if your home based

May i suggest working at home? You can actually do some typing or data entry job while having a flexible time to spend with your children. =)

It would be nice to know what type of work you are looking for. Working 7-3 reminds me of either some type of factory work or work in the healthcare field. Office work is usually from 8-4 or 9-5 but there are some opportunities out there in data entry, etc. that you might be able to work. If you only need to work a couple days a week it may be easier to find something during those hours. Good luck!

Hey why do not try any online work like you are doing now??Its great & its Different.

With your experience, I would suggest that you take a look at: http://www.virtualassistantbusiness.com See if this could be a good choice for you! :) Happy hunting!

I would say that working in a school (either your child's or a nearby school) or working from home will be your best bet. You could also try starting a service type business for working parents; pet walking, house cleaning, errand running, etc. A couple of things that I do in order to combine the need for money and being home with my children is chacha.com, writing articles, and secret shopping. I average $600/month for these jobs.

Some places that are open 24 hours might be a good place to start looking for a schedule like that. Perhaps Meijer's, Walgreens, CVS. Also some fast food places open early like Tim Hortons, McDonalds, Duncan Donuts. A bakery might be another place to look, since they start very early as well. Those are just a few I thought of real quick, if I can think of more I'll make another post.

Have you checked with the school system for any openings? Even if you are not certified to teach, you can work in the office, cafeteria, bus route and as a substitute teacher. Many subs work daily and its a great job if you need flexibility! 7-3 would be a hospital schedule if you have any experience in that area. Good luck!

no thetre is certainy no problem if u can carry out all wotrks in better way. Actually all should do like this

well the type of job you are looking for...the best would to go into education feild. U can start ur carreer by being a teacher or a lecturere as it will not consume much of time....respectful and brainy job. I would not suggest you to go for any MNC or any office job because it consumes your entire day..u will not be able to give time to your kid and family....

Did you ever think about driving a school bus? The hours are good, pay is ok, and most private companies let you take your children on the bus with you. So you don't have to worry about child care.

i think you can consider working in some kind of library.they have flexible hours of work time.its very entataining work also if you love to read books.other option is data entry job.hope it helped you a bit.

hey welcome m'm again,i mean to say at ur work. u shd think for it very seiously. u can try for a teaching job or an office work which don't u drive ur motherly care away from child and also that gives u satisfaction and money...rest depends on ur qualifications till now...all the best me new on mylot.waiting for ur responses

There are lot many sites meant for freelancers from where you can get jobs of your profile and earn staying at home. In that case you can take care of both your kid and earn as well

You can try for some part time jobs otherwise you can some online data entry work also. Any way the decision you took was really nice. You must go to work. It will help tp increase your family income also. - All the best -

GOOD JOB....GOODLUCK....

i suggest that u should take a part time job somewhere which would enable u to work as well be with u r child rest of the time. well if u r good at teaching u can become a teacher somewhere or the best thing would be that u can become a teacher in the school where u r kid is admitted, in this way u can do both things.
