I want a job – and I’m taking suggestions
I need to find a job that starts a half hour after the girls are in school and gets out about half hour before they get home (drive time).
I need weekends, holidays and summers off – and all teacher workshop days.
I’ve already checked out jobs at the school, they don’t pay anything.
It’s not that I’m unwilling to put my kids in before/after care, I mean I don’t, but that‘s not it. The problem is my youngest is autistic and there isn’t a day care on this planet that could accommodate her needs. She has to be watched every second, you can’t turn you back on her or she’ll eat the rug or gluten or crayons. I’ve asked case works for suggestions on a day care for her – they don’t have any.
I know there has to be an actual job out there where I can customize my schedule, but I’m just not finding it. Working for myself is not an option.
What am I qualified to do?
Bookkeeping (but not taxes)
I can read (that’s always promising)
Type reasonably well
Spelling is terrible
Grammar is worse than spelling
I use to do technical assistance over the phone – I loved that job.
Any ideas?
Check back, I’ll add to the list as people post ideas.
the oldest profession, set your own hours, choose your pay.
@Not Isis,
Wouldn’t that mean working for myself? lol
Not if you get one of good fella’s for protection. (Dear Buddha, I hope people know i’m kidding)…
If you find one let me know. I am faced with the same situation. Having a special needs kiddo certainly puts a unique spin on everything including finding a job. I was fortunate to have a family daycare provider take care of my daughter until she was 5, but then the provider moved away to Florida we tried a new daycare, but with little success and now I stay home. So if you find a job that accommodating let me know I want in!
You have awesome IT skills!
You do web design like a boss!
You’re very good at the on line selling!
But I know what you mean. It’s tough, really tough, to find something that accommodates you and your children’s needs, especially when you have a special needs child. Yeah, it’s a challenge!
Didn’t you used to do product reviews? I’m looking into that for my son. That should be interesting.
@Irene
I’m looking for something that will get me a paycheck and out of the house.
Can you substitute teach? Here in Illinois you can get a substitute teaching certicate with a batches degree in anything. Pay is about $100/day
I guess this would be working for yourself but having a direct selling job can pay really well. I am distributor for two companies Snack Healthy and boresha coffee (all coffee can make you fat but this one doesn’t and can burn fat). You can earn free snacks or coffee with either one. I got a check with the coffee one and hadn’t even signed anyone up. Its worth checking out. You can put as much energy as you want into it and then will make more or less money at it and you can be home for your kids at the same time. http://www.myhealthysnacks4.com http://www.luvskinnycoffee.com
@kaylee Hoccking, Yeah, I’ve been around a bit to long, that’s like Avon or the fancy cookware – I use Wholesalers, that way I make the profit.
But I’m not interested in selling anything ever again – not unless it’s behind a counter and I don’t own the place.
Hey…well I do not know if your are interested, or if there is anything posted in your area but you can check out http://www.narms.com It is where retailers go and post jobs. I mean you have to screen them and see if it is something you want. I had a full time job with a national retail company that was monday through friday, weekends off, company car, benefits, and all. It was a bit of a more demanding job…but my cousin got a job that she went into local business’ and refilled thier movies. With hers she could set her own hours. And work on certain days. So it just all depends on what you are looking for. Don’t know it that helps you any, but its worth a try! (wink)
a group of wealthy people put together a unique way of earning money. this community is for people who need/ want to make extra money. My wife and I love the plan. Maybe you will too.
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
try a local florist, watering plants, clean coolers, wrap wire, light cleaning.
