Working From Home With Working Mums

Whether you’re a mum looking to earn some extra pennies or simply looking for part time work, working from home can be an effective option to earn money whilst maintaining other commitments. There can be various motives for working from home, whether it’s working mums for part time jobs, or freelancers trying to fill the gaps in their wage slips, the option of earning money from the comfort of your own sofa is increasingly popular.

With the constraints of modern life, more and more people are turning to working from home as a viable alternative to following the nine to five rat race. Working from home leaves freedom to maintain hobbies, complete house-work, work freelance projects or look after children. If you have children, it can be an effective option to earn money at the times best suited to your schedule, avoiding the awkward conversation with your boss when you want to change office times to match the school-run.  If you’re single and just looking for an alternative way to earn money, in your own time and own comfort, it’s a great alternative to structuring your work life around someone else’s preferences.

As with all work, there can of course be certain cons to working from home. You have to be motivated; there is no one to drag you out of bed in the morning. Depending on your home life it can be difficult to find a suitable quiet space where there are no distractions, which can perhaps be a challenge if there are children around. But the benefit is, you are in control of how hard you work, and it allows the flexibility to earn your own wage around the challenges of day to day life.
