Part Time Work?

Okay moms, here is my dilemma. I have been searching for a way to work at home. But have not found anything I like. I homeschool my kids so that makes it a little more difficult. Well I ran into someone I used to work with at a church pre-school. They told me they are hiring for Thursday, Friday and Saturday Nights. It would be a couple of hours for each day, and they pay well, well above minimum wage....


This would not interfere in our school time in any way since Matt breezes through school. We would also still be able to go to our homeschool group and it would not interfere in any of Matt's sports. Nick my 3 year old would also get to play with kids his age and there were also home schooled kids there last year.


So what would you do if you were me? I am afraid for some reason but I do not know why! I mean I can even keep both kids with me at all times, and this was a place I LOVED to work at. They were always super supportive of me and even were supportive when I worked there AND breastfeed Nick.


So help me out! I need advice should I call them or not?

Sounds like a Very Good Opportunity at the right time. Try it out. The wonderful thing is that, if it does not work out, you can quit. And if it does work out, how great that you did it!

Best to you,

Well, It looks like I will not be able to do it.


I watch my 16 month old nephew 3 days a week for my sister. I do this for free because she cannot afford to pay and I have had the great blessing of helping to raise each and every one of my eight nephews and nieces from newborn to 5 years old.


My little sister who watches him the other two days has just announced she is pregnant. She is feeling a little overwhelmed with homeschooling her first year and some small medical problems she is having....so after much praying and thinking I just cannot let my nephew go to daycare. He is part of my day and I am so in love with this little guy that I just could not do that to him.


I am sad though. I really wanted to do it.

Sorry that you could not do it after all ... (hug)

I will keep your sister in prayer, though. And she is very blessed to have a sister who loves her children as her own. How sweet to be so beloved by an aunt --- your nephew will benefit so much from your care!

Peace,
