Success Stories
In March 2007 my beautiful daughter Hadley was born, and from the moment she was placed in my arms, I knew that I would not be able to return to my full-time job as a RN Clinical Research Coordinator. With the support of my husband Jeff, I was able to quit my full-time job and become a full-time stay a home mom.
Motivated to find a way to make some extra money from home, I started asking past employers and friends if there was any work that I could do for them while caring for my daughter at home. My networking efforts paid off and in December 2007 I started working from home by completing marketing research, establishing joint ventures and working as a social network liaison for a small publishing company that a friend was working for.
During this time I learned a lot of valuable marketing skills and became very familiar with the work at home market. Motivated start my own business and to help other women and mothers do the same, I decided to create The Work at Home Woman and share my research and knowledge with other women and mothers who had the desire to work from home.
Being able to work at home with my daughter has been such an amazing experience. I have been able to ditch my two hour round trip commute in traffic, as well as the stress of having too much to do in too little time. I’m not going to say that starting a business or looking for a work at home job is easy, but with a little elbow grease and due diligence anyone who puts their mind to it can achieve it. The hard work really pays off when you get to see that little person you love so much, say all those silly things through out the day, such as “Mommy do you like my eyeballs”? I wouldn’t miss out on this for the world!
