Work from home, remote work

Moms im desperate, i feel so useless because im not bringing an income into my home. My daughter is 4 1/2 months old and ive been looking for work from home the entire time. The only positions ive found are benefit agents and i really cant afford to pay attention let alone take a course to get licensed. Any other positions ive found turn out to be scams. If anybody has advice im all ears. I am willing to package things, not looking for a get rich quick. Just enough to pay some medical bills down for myself and daughter.

Thank you in advance 🫶🙌🙏👏

Remote work

Any ideas of remote work during evenings or any ways of earning some extra money? My partner is the only bread winner and the self employment is not great as he just hurt his foot and can’t drive and that will make him loose money. I feel bad every time when I ask him for the smallest amount of money and even if we are not proper struggling we have just enough to get by. We are totally fine with baby items but we are trying to save money even on food ,and stuff for us that are not absolutely necessarily are not really an option anymore. Any tips on how to earn a couple of pounds on the side?

WFH Jobs

Hi, any moms know any work from home jobs that are hiring? Or just any jobs period preferably with weekly pay lol

WFH moms!!!!

what in the world are we doing nowadays to stay home with our babies?? my husband and i moved into a new house the same week we welcomed our baby and it set us back horribly. i’m a part time server & bartender, but would love to be able to work from home. can you please tell me what jobs we’re doing to accomplish this? if you have one- do you have any leads you can pass on? i appreciate all the help 🖤✨

Mother and child jobs

Probably more a questions for any midwives etc.

My experience in NICU and motherhood makes me want to work with babies and new mothers. Unfortunately im not physically strong enough to become a midwife and I never will be. A mix of conditions mean in reality I will probably never manage to work full time and certainly couldn't lift anyone in an emergency (Or at least not without risk of injury to myself).
I'd be particularly interested in supporting breastfeeding, but also supporting new mothers with newborn care, or supporting the care of babies in neonatal units when parents cant be there.

So my question is this - do i need to give up on this thinking? I cant tell if theres any role that would allow me to do these things without becoming a midwife. I'd rather just know for sure and move on if its not possible.

End of Maternity leave

I go back to work on 8th October so I really want to make the most of the time I have left with my daughter.

I'm taking her to the aquarium for her birthday but does anyone have any other suggestions for things to do before I go back? At home or out and about 🙂

I work in education but i want out

I work as a Teaching Assistant but I want out.i hate the atmosphere,bitchinh and clicks...money is also terrible.Any suggestions? I need a little bit of flexibility,my daughter is 10,and I m single mum.Not sure what to do and wher to go....

Any wfh jobs hiring with little to no experience?

I’m a single mother looking for a wfh job. I’ve been applying everywhere for the past year and haven’t heard anything back from anyone. Does anyone know of any remote jobs that are hiring or can help get me through the process to an interview at least?
