We all know becoming a mum is stressful as it is, but there still comes a time where we have to step up and start earning money again, despite the full time job of raising a family.
This post will go through 6 career options that allow you to work from home, that are not too stressful.
Customer service representative
Customer service is an age-old profession. People are always going to need other people to help them, whether this is to set up an account, delete something or even to answer frequently asked questions.
Usually a customer service job can be done from the home, and is minimally demanding. Typically the caller will have already answered questions prior to connecting, so more time there is little expertise you need to do this job.
Unless you’re working for a notoriously rude company, or one with a terrible reputation, this is typically a minimally stressful role to undertake.
Secondary school tutor
Did you fancy helping adolescents out with their homework? Maybe you’re a whizz at Maths and want to help teenagers understand BIDMAS, or even fractions.
A tutor role may be for you, it’s flexible, typically low maintenance and something you can do completely remotely, if that’s your bag. Plus, it’s good practice for when your little one starts asking you for help with their homework.
Caption editor
Are you a quick typist that likes watching shows as part of your job? Maybe a job as a caption editor is the right one for you.
All you need is a laptop keyboard and the ability to type fast with minimal mistakes. You can be one of those people who help shows become more accessible for the hearing impaired. Look up caption editor roles today!
Voice over
Ever wanted to make money from your voice? That’s exactly what voice overs get paid to do. With merely a home studio set up, laptop and music editing software, all you need to start is a portfolio of examples, which you’d use to reach out to voice over agencies.
Voiceovers get paid well too, earning an average of £75-150 per project. The more experience you have, the quicker you can record projects and the more projects you’ll get!
Nutritionist
If you’re naturally good at knowing the right stuff to eat, planning diets and feel you can do so for other people, you can consider going down the road of a nutritionist.
Typically working freelance and seeing clients virtually, all you need to do is make sure you’ve got the credentials to be able to do so. Once you’re qualified, you can start building clientele and consulting them remotely.
Blogger
Do you have a passion for writing? Why not monetise it? A blog can be very lucrative if you take the right steps.
As a mother, you’ve got to keep your hobbies and interests alive. Say you have a passion for fitness, why not start a blog on it? The most lucrative blogs can make 5 to even 7 figures a year if you play your cards right.
