Are you a mum or dad at home not working?

June 8, 2007 5:26pm CST
Hi guys just sat here wondering, I am a mum at home who keeps searching the internet looking for the ideal break where I can work from home, are any of you in the same boat as me, before been pregnant I had my own business which was a success, at the time I was relocating the shop and found out I was pregnant so put it on hold. Now I have my little one I want to stay with her, so I was just wondering what your ideal job would be or are you in the same boat as me and searching constantly for that break. There is not much out there for us parents do you agree.

Hi lynseyxxx I know where you are coming from :o) I finally found my break with www.sohojobs.org After becoming a member of their forum I was hired by 2 companies. The sohojobs.org website is a resource tool for companies to post job openings. The companies hire people to work from home. It is fabulous! Anyway, that was my "big break" I take incoming calls for PBS stations & St Jude Children's Research Hospital and do online research work for another company. It is great! I make anywhere from $800-$1000 a month very part time; Depending on how I schedule myself. Let me know if you have questions. I am here to help :o) Teri K (id:au8tkat) "Working from home thanks to sohojobs.org"

Hi, I know exactly what you mean. I've been trying for months to find a job I can do at home whilst caring for my daughter. There seems to be some in America but I'm based in the UK and the only thing going over here are scams. I'm quite shy so ideally I'd like to do some boring work like typing or Data Entry, anything that doesn't involve too much socialising. But I suppose the search must go on. I'd love to hear if you come up with anything. If I do find something myself I'll be sure to post it to everyone here who also seem to be having fun with this issue!

I am a working mom and still able to join mylot coz our company is a bit slow at this moment. Better spent time with your baby anyway you can still be on the internet once in while...mylot is doing good. I just started her and I really like the topics being discussed. Take care and have a good time with your little one.
