subject: Stay At Home Mom Looking For Work At Home Opportunities [print this page] A stay at home mom was traditionally a mother whose job was to stay at home and care for the family. Housekeeping and bringing up kids were recognised to be a full time job. A mother's place was in the home. The father would be the sole breadwinner and the family would be able to live comfortably on one income.In those days it was not unusual for a stay at home mom to take on a part time job at home to alleviate boredom as the kids grew up and started school. The mother's extra income was not needed for essentials, so it would be used to pay for treats for the family.Nowadays things have changed dramatically and stay at home moms are not looking for work to do from home to pay for treats. They are looking for home jobs because the family needs a second income to keep up with the cost of everyday items.In today's world, few ordinary families can survive on a single income. Many mothers have to choose between going out to work or seeing her family deprived of the everyday essentials. The need to supplement the family's income drives many mothers to look for work they can do at home.In addition to the extra income, there are many advantages for mothers who work at home. The first big advantage is being able to stay home to take care of the family. Some other advantages are:Saving on expenses. There is no need for a work at home mom to invest in a separate wardrobe of outfits for work. They also save the cost of commuting and the cost of day care places for the children.Shorter working hours. A home based job means a mom won't be spending time on dressing and putting on make-up to go to work. No time is wasted on commuting between home and work every day.Some women who want to work at home are lucky enough to have the sort of job they can transfer to a work from home basis. This is ideal for many kinds of virtual assistance posts. A background in customer services work can give women an advantage when looking for home based jobs.Mothers working at home at a familiar job for an existing employer have the extra advantage of not needing training. A new mother would struggle to find time for training. Just attending to a new baby's needs can swallow up the whole day. If she can turn her existing employment into a home based job, the change can be virtually seamless; this will obviously benefit the employer as well as the employee.Negotiating the transfer of an existing job to a home based job is probably the easiest way for a stay at home mom to find work at home. Unfortunately, there are many jobs that would be impossible to do from home. There are also numerous bosses who would be be agreeable to letting their employees work from home. This means many moms (and moms-to-be) will have to rely on their own initiative to find ways to make money at home.
