Jobs For Moms That Give You Flexibility
When you’re a parent – particularly when you’re a Mom – you have to be able to be extremely flexible. You could be sitting at work one minute, and the next you’re rushing to the school, as your son or daughter feels ill. Then, you’ve got to pick your youngest child up from nursery, and just generally be there to make sure that everybody is OK. Whilst this is pretty much what you would expect from becoming a Mother, it makes working so hard. However, there are some jobs that you could do, that give you more flexibility.
Freelance writing
If you want to be able to fit your job around your busy life, then freelance writing could be for you. If you’ve got a natural flare when it comes to writing, and you think that you could secure yourself some work because of it, then look into your options. If you don’t want to do this, then you could always start your own blog. Whatever you do here, freelance writing will allow you to work during the evening when your kids are asleep, or during the day when you finally get some time away from the chaos.
Public services
Going into public services could be a good idea if you want to have more flexibility in your role, and you could work in the police or fire department, as a security guard, or as a social worker. The good thing about these types of roles is that there are various shift patterns on offer, so you could work evenings if you’d prefer, or even nights. If this sounds interesting but you’re not too sure where to start, then you could do an Associates of Criminal Justice program, which will get you started.
Selling from home
If you’re looking for something a little more home-based, then there are many opportunities for selling from home. Perhaps you want to make some arts and crafts items, and sell them online? Or maybe you want to get out there and buy vintage clothes from thrift stores, to resell them for a marked up price on your vintage site? Whatever it is that you do, simply selling some items online could really boost your income, without consuming too much of your time, so check your options out.
Babysitting
When you’re a Mother to young children, you may find that you just can’t leave your home life behind in order to go to work; it just wouldn’t be worth it, and you need to be there for your kids as much as possible. If this is the case for you, then you may want to look into babysitting your friends and neighbors kids, for some extra cash. Sure, you don’t have to do this every day, but it will help you to get a stable income, and all you have to do is keep an eye on an extra kid whilst you’re at home.
So, if you’re looking for a Mom-job that gives you flexibility, then try out some of these options!
