Seeking Employment with Benefits Need Flexibility to Spend Time with My Daughter

Updated on March 26, 2008
S.J. asks from Grand Prairie, TX

I am a stay at home housewife and mom. My husband of 19 years left my 13 year old daughter and me two weeks ago for another woman. I need to return to the work place but really do not want a demanding job that pulls me away from spending time with my daughter in the evenings or during the summer months. I am considering teaching because of the flexible hours and because I have always enjoyed teaching my daughter and teaching others when I was in the workplace. My ideal job would be to work from home. Any suggestions?????

What can I do next?

I now own a small business, however, I used to work as an Escrow Assistant. With your banking background, I'm sure you'd pick it up right away. The hours are great at title companies - usually 8a-5p Monday-Friday. You will never work weekends. Also, you rarely ever have to work late, if you have an Escrow Agent who schedules properly. The only exception is the last week of the month, when everyone is trying hard to close. Try finding a company willing to train "their" way of doing things instead of asking for experience. Each title company does their files differently, so sometimes it's a plus if you haven't already been accustomed to someone's else's way. Good luck!

First let me say I am really sorry. I will pray for healing for you and your daughter. I know you will be inidated with ideas but here is one more to ponder. Go to madjac.igniteinc.biz dont be afraid of the name it is my childrens names combined. Its worth the time to take a look at it. I had mentioned this to some other ladies as well, I was looking for supplemental income to keep my children in private school and didnt want a traditional job or the time constraints it is working well for me. Good Luck and if you need more info hit reply and I will help you however I can. You may also check into ASI It is not free but a legitamte business that you can purchase a reasonable discount health care plan and do some at home work at the same time, it is selling but sometimes we dont have a choice. Hope this helps

S.,
I'm so sorry to hear that! I do not know of a day job but I have a home based business (that keeps me home with my children) and you could set your own hours. You could also work it along side a day job (for the benefits) until you build it up til you are making enough money to only work the home-based business. You still get to help/teach others, its just in a different way...and you are in control of your hours, income, etc. It does take discipline and consistency.

Send me a private message or email me at ____@____.com if you'd like more information.

Prayers and Blessings,
D. :)

I am sorry to hear what you and your daughter are going through right now. I also wanted to tell you that I too am a single mother of a 10 year old and a 2 year old. I also homeschool my son due to health issues that kept him from being able to attend school as he should. On top of that, I work from home. I set my own hors and work around my kids schedules. I work for a company that has been around for over 120 years and is known in many, many companies. This company partners with companies to offer health and life insurance as well as a savings plan. This company also rewards it's representatives with awards such as trips, jewelry and other gifts. Who am I talking about? Why, AVON, of course. Avon is a company that helps you all the way. They have restructured things from many years ago and here are no longer territories. Of course, there are also NO selling requirements and NO inventory requirements.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in or woudl like to know more about, please do email me (____@____.com). I LOVE my job and would love to help others succeed in their own business as well.

Blessings,

L.

I am so sorry for your loss, because that is what it is! I will be praying for you. I market for a company and this month they are running a great promotion. It does end on Monday, but if you have 30 to 45 min in the next couple of days then you can take advantage of this promotion. I will tell you that I do not distribute products. I educate others on the importance of going green and how to shop from a company that has high quality products at grocery store prices. You can check out my website at www.tx.parentsunited.com I look forward to hearing from you.
