How to make money if you have children? 5 work options for moms

Send

We all heard about women who manage to combine parental responsibilities with a career. However, they do not have an expanded staff of grandmothers and nannies. But how?! How do they do it?

1. Work where you can come with children

The usual option is to work in kindergarten. You give the child to the group and work ... Not necessarily a nanny, by the way! If you have an art or other special education, you can conduct creative circles in the short-stay group. Another option is to search for coworking for moms. In Moscow, for example, there is a whole network of free coworking, where you can come with children and work without paying rent. They are in other cities.
An even more interesting option is when the employer organizes a corporate kindergarten in the office building. This practice comes to us from the West. You come with the baby, you work, and the baby is supervised.

Larisa Kuzmina, Cheboksary, two children

Seven years ago, I became interested in endowment insurance as an investment option. I opened insurance programs for myself and for children in the IC Renaissance Life, and was so impressed with this issue that, after training, I myself became a financial consultant. I often came to the office with my youngest child. We took toys, coloring books, and he was interested and not bored there! And I myself, when the opportunity arose to go to work, I felt like a different person - I began to paint, do my hair and in beautiful clothes came to the office, went to meet with clients. I didn’t even think that in three years I could achieve such results: I bought a car, changed my wardrobe, and with my family we regularly go to rest.

According to Forbes, 34% of the population of developed countries work remotely, and this figure is growing.

2. Work at home with hands

The same example when a hobby turns into work. Tilda dolls, knitted hats, earrings, tassels, gingerbread, cupcakes, assorted macaroons ... All this can be sold through the online store or craftsmen fairs. In the top ever-relevant topics of various parent groups and forums - the question "Where to order a cake for a holiday?" But what if you bake the very cake with a superhero or a collection of ponies? Well, dIn order to stand out from the crowd, include gluten-free product options in your assortment - now this is at the peak of popularity.

It all started with the fact that I went to a master class on the production of painted gingerbread. The craftswoman saw the potential in me and offered to take on apprentices. I made blanks, covered them with glaze, and she did the delicate work herself. Then I "matured" to the painting. And now I myself make gingerbread to order. Only by September 1, I had prepared 50 sets with "maple leaves", and ahead of the New Year - I am training to paint elegant Christmas trees!

3. Work with a free schedule

"How much you sink, so much you dig." As a rule, working with a free schedule involves piecework wages. This may be a sales manager, an SMM manager with an agreed amount of materials per month, a copywriter, a freelance journalist and more. This format of work is especially convenient for mothers with many children.

Evgenia Ostapuschenko, Krasnoyarsk, three children

After graduating from school, I went to study as a railwayman, worked as a communications engineer at the Sayanskaya station, and in 2012, as a family, we moved from the village to a large city - to Krasnoyarsk. I posted an ad on the job search site that I was looking for a job as a financial consultant. I was invited to an interview at Renaissance Life.At the first training seminar, she fell in love with funded programs, in particular, the Children program. Since then, insurance for me is a personal mission, a chance to give people the opportunity to welfare and happiness. Today I plan my working hours myself, I have the opportunity to spend more hours with my family, I can often go on vacation.

4. Work in a public institution

Such employment is good for those who need a normalized working day (and how else to keep up with the kindergarten before 19:00?). For serious posts you will need a specialized diploma, but in theory it can be obtained here in absentia, having improved qualifications at the expense of the employer.

Alevtina Krayushkina, Moscow Region, two children

When I went for an interview, past interviews spun in my head. As a rule, the eychars, having barely heard of my twins, immediately shrugged their hands: "Yes, you will not get out of the hospital!" So the mood was pessimistic in advance ... And suddenly my boss, who was at that time, having heard about my marital status, says that she appreciates family employees, they say that the latter know firsthand what time management is. And unmarried employees can easily leave for two hours to have dinner and then again five more time to go to the kitchen to have tea. These people are clearly in no hurry. Needless to say, I was hired for this job!

5. Remote work

It can be Skype tutoring if you teach, for example, a foreign language. It’s very convenient: you don’t go anywhere, nobody comes to your home either (which is important if the child is still a toddler). Psychological advice on Skype is also a trend, because among clients often are mothers with young children and reduced mobility. Financial advice can likewise be conducted remotely.

Elvira Shvorneva, Nizhnekamsk, three children

I already had two children, and they offered me a serious position at the bank, when it suddenly turned out that I would have a third child. It was necessary to choose: career or family. The husband reasoned that you can always have a career in your career - this is how Romka appeared. When I was on maternity leave, a neighbor brought me an insurance program for review: "You are a smart girl - what can you say?" During the night I wrote out 10 questions that the neighbor had to ask the consultant and get an answer. If it does, the program is worth taking. As a result, she received the answers and designed the program. And I ... was invited for an interview at Renaissance Life. It is convenient when the company has everything to learn the profession from scratch, including a distance learning system for young mothers.
