If you are a stay-at-home mom or dad and would like to work remotely you can find a few companies that you can apply to. The first thing you need to figure out is how many hours you want to work and what you would like to do. Once you have made those decisions, you can narrow down those work at home options and start applying.
Part-time work-at-home jobs are great for those with other responsibilities including taking care of small kids at home, being a student, working another part-time job, having a side business or gig, only wanting to work on a temporary or short-term basis, and anything in between.
What’s even better is working for a company that will allow you to choose when and for how long you want to work. This gives you the flexibility to have a good work/life balance that will help you not to get burned out and overextend yourself leaving little to no time for yourself and your family.
I know how demanding it can be to be a parent and try to work from home at the same time. This is exactly why I decided to write this post about some jobs that you can do on a part-time basis. Most of these jobs allow for background noise or are non-phone so that you will not have to needlessly worry about having a quiet workspace at home.
