Work, Maybe Stay Home, Career to Go in Just Not Sure??
I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. I have stayed home for 3 years now, and I love it but would eventually like to go back to work when my children go to school. I'm trying to figure out a good career to go in with kids. I mean what do you do with your kids all summer if you work. I have thought about going into teaching I have about 80 units, so I would have to go back to school, but I don't know if I could handle teaching. My husband makes pretty good money, but not enough for us to buy a house, we still live in an apartment. Can anyone give me some suggestions please?

When my daughter started kindergarten, I applied at her school district as a special education instructional aide. That was 8 years ago and I still love it. I work same schedule as my daughter goes to school and have same days off (PAID!). Summer school is optional. We get sick days and paid vacation for winter break and spring break as well as holidays.
Since then, I have been so interested in the kids with autism with whom I work that I created a children's book about autism. Now I am working on my second book www.AisForAutism.net
I also spent a couple years selling stuff on ebay which was fun.
Good luck.

Personally, I think going back to school is a wonderful idea. If you enjoy education and it sounds like you must have some interest since you already have 80 units, then that is half the battle, finding something you really enjoy. I think a lot of people hesitate out of fear of failure or not being able to handle it, but you may surprise yourself and furthering your educations opens a lot of doors and is a great example to set for your children. When the time comes I hope to set an example for my son that education is one of the most important things that you can do for yourself. I can't think of anyone that I know that regretting getting an education but quite a few people that regret passing up that opportunity.

Hi Cleo, I would definately recommend a home based business. It will allow you to have flexible hours, be home when the kids are sick, earn money wether you need 200 a month or 20,000 a month, you determine what your income will be. Im sure you will receive many emails with different busines opportunities. I suggest taking a look at those that really offer something you are interested in. This will help you sick with it. Make sure the co. is over 5 years old and that if its a networking opportunity, that they are a member of the direct selling assoc. I would love for you to take a look at what i do. I work fulltim at home and my business is in the health & wellness industry. Here is a short 8 minute call you can listen to for more info. ###-###-#### or www.arbonne.com/company/sizzle.html

Parents I know will often get a job at a school (not necessarily as a teacher), but just an office position or otherwise, at a school or the school their child goes to... that way, their job is on the same "schedule" as their child, and things such as picking them up, dropping them off etc. is easier. Some parents also, choose to get a job at their child's school so that their tuition (if you go to private school) is either "free" or at a reduced cost (one of the benefits of being an "employee" at the school). Yes, what to do with your child when they are on summer break... that's hard when the Parent works a traditional job. Your child would have to go to summer programs... which costs money, and you have to budget that into your expenses because summer programs are not cheap.
In either case, start looking now... jobs at schools are not always easy to get into, as positions don't always open up and the ones who work there, like to stay there... especially if you want a job at a specific school.
As far as work... you could go the "virtual assistant" route... working from home doing computer work.(look it up online) Or figure out a stay-at-home-work-at-home business to do... this would offer more flexibility per scheduling and being able to stay home with the kids and being there for them after school or on breaks.
For me, I have my own online boutique to make extra pocket change. Everyone is different. It's good you are researching it now... plan ahead, that's all I can recommend. You'll get lots of ideas here I"m sure.
Good luck,
~Susan
