SAHM jobs

tried a daycare job and brought the kid but stopped because they were always sick, but as someone who wants to work from home is anyone else thinking this would be to challenging to do that with a 16 mo? i’m just curious what other moms are doing in this situation

I work full time from home with no nanny and I make it work! It can sometimes be tricky but if you have a good boss they can be flexible with you! For example, I work a lot of times from 6-8am (bc my son is still asleep) and then I’ll take a break, and go back to working when he’s down for a long nap, and then when he wakes back up I only have a couple hours left so I just make it work! 😂 But it’s such a blessing to be able to be home with my son ♥️

Depends on the job. A lot don’t want you to have any distractions just like you wouldn’t at an office. Saying flexible on paper and being flexible are different

I do something very similar to Abby. I work 5-7 AM when everyone is still sleeping. I file emails and handle employee chat between 7 and 1030, but am mostly with my son. Then work again from 11-130/2 during his nap. The only difference is we had a nanny helping us 4 hours a day 3-4 days a week in the afternoons so I have been able to work a solid chunk of time until 4 or 5 PM. Right now my MIL comes to help a few days a week after my son’s nap 😁 I personally wouldn’t be able to get enough work done without the afternoon help. It’s very doable, but some days are more exhausting than others.

I WFH and I can't do it by myself. My husband has to watch my 17 month old while I work or I won't be able to get anything done.
