Working Around Kids School Schedule

How do I find a job that will let me take off the days my kids are outta school? I have 4 kiddos and the youngest has Down Syndrome so daycare is WAY outta the question. And I don't have any friends or family that could watch them. Not only that I haven't worked in 9 years. So I am scared outta my mind. I can't even run a cash register. And I am 30 years old. But if I don't get outta this house I'm gonna lose it(not really,but really)! An online job would be the answer, but that defeats the purpose of getting out of this house. What to do?

What can I do next?

I would recomend that you go to a staffing agency. Although sometimes that seems like a waste of time, they do occasionaly have PT jobs. Another option would be work at a day care, or if you have any formal education, then you might be able to be a sub.
I was in staffing for quiet some time and I understand how disheartening it can be to try to re-enter the workforce. Hang in there

I work for a wonderful company with incredible products that I firmly believe in. I work part time and the income is potentially incredible. It's easy and fun and you can help your friends and family along the way! If you would like to hear more let me know! ____@____.com I would also suggest a mothers day out program...if you call before and let them know your youngest has down syndrome they may be better able to meet your needs. First Baptist Church of Broken Arrow has a program called MOPS...it's the first and third Tues of every month I think it's at 930 AM. Email Genea Pine at ____@____.com and she can give your more information. She may be able to better help you than me anyway...she's the preschool director at the church and has a lot of contacts in the area.

Hi M.,

Saw your post from a time back and thought I'd share with you what I shared with a couple of others. I think this is one opportunity you'd love and wouldn't want to pass up on.

I'm a 39 year old SAHM and love what I do! But, to make things a little easier financially on our family I signed up as an Indep Avon Sales Rep. This allows me to do what I love most, which is spend time with my beautiful family. Selling Avon has helped our family have extra when extra normally wouldn't be there. Its fun having PLAY money! This allows us to go out to eat occasionally, shop for fun stuff that we might not otherwise be able to afford and put money in savings.

The only draw back that I found in being a stay-at-home-mom is that all my friends couldn't afford to stay at home. Car payments, mortgages and other expenses kept them from doing so. I found my days were spent with just me, cleaning the house and watching Soap Operas throughout my day. I needed a little more social interaction. With Avon I've made a lot of new acquaintances and incredible friendships this past year, which I otherwise wouldn't have necessarily had. And with the wonderful world of syberspace it makes my Avon business so easy and fun, knowing I don't have to fill out a lot of paperwork. With the click of a few buttons my order is processed and ready to go.

M.,it only costs $10 to start your Avon business. And, Avon provides everything you need to assist you on an incredible journey of finding out that you truely are an incredible individual and dreams really can come true.

In my first year of selling Avon with my husband and I's earnings together, we paid off misc bills, went on our first REAL vacation in 20 years to Arizona and New Mexico for 9 amazing days and we put a new roof on our home. Without Avon there it would have taken a lot longer than a year to accomplish what we did in only 12 months.

Someone once said, Sometimes even eagles need a push! I'm glad I pushed myself out of my nest. LOL

I would love to have you on my team M.! Contact me at ____@____.com and we'll get you started!

I have the perfect solution! I work from home with an absolutely amazing company. Yes, I understand the needing to get out of the house - but the ladies I work over the phone and internet with provide me with so much valuable friendship that I have been more satisfied with this business than I could imagine - and the money is great, too! Please visit my website, fill out the GET MORE INFO form, and I'll call you to go over all the details. But trust me, it's AWESOME!!!
