Employment Advice

I am currently employed full time as an assistant in an office. I really want to find something new. I have worked at my job for almost 6 years and I just really don't like it anymore. Also, I would like to be able to spend more time with my kids. But, I need to be able to make the same or more than I am making now in order to change my career. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really like to be a nanny but not sure how to go about getting into that line of work... Thanks for any advice you can give.

What can I do next?

Within six months of part-time work, you could be earning as much, if not more, than you are earning now in your office job. At the same time, you and your family and everyone you deal with could be much healthier. Check out the following sites.

I am in a similar situation as you are in that I don't like my job and want to do something different. I'm an accountant and I currently put in about 50 hours a week, which leaves little free time to spend with my two boys. I knew that once they get to school, I wanted to be a part of their classroom parties and field trips and there was just NO way my career path would allow for that much flexibility.

I did some research and found a company that offers positions from home. It's not a "Get Rich Quick" deal by any means but many moms like us started with this company on the side and then eventually are able to quit their FT jobs and strictly work from home. That's my goal!

Hi S.

My name is A. and I currently work a full-time job but I also have a business with a health and wellness company that might be a fit for you and allow you to give up your full-time career to stay at home with your kids and give you the income you are looking for. If you are interested, let me know I can give you more information.

This doesn't have anything to do with being a nanny, but it is something I started into last year that might interest you. I am an independent distributor for Premier Designs Jewelry. It is a line of High Fashion Jewelry and you sell it to people by having shows in their home. If you are looking for something that is rewarding and fun, this is definitely a possibility. I didn't think I would be able to sell anything, but I love it! I am still working my full time job, but I'm confident that as my business grows I will be able to quit and spend more time with my family. It is a very rewarding job and the company is wonderful. They are a Christian company that was started to help mothers spend more time with there families. If you are interested I would love to tell you more about it. Please feel free to contact me anytime. J. Lea ###-###-#### ____@____.com

I'm so sorry that nobody is being of help to you. This must be so frustrating when you really want to be a NANNY! A nanny people, not jewlery seller and agencies don't work right now or sales for that matter because we are in a recession, you know.
If you never have been, Take a CPR class with your local fire department because families look for that and go to these cites: Care.com sitterslink.com craigslist.com under education, enannysource.com and make up a profile about yourself and you will get responses. You can even advertise in your paper but the more babysitting references you have the better. Good luck
