Full-Time work from home mom, pros and cons

As a work from home mom, you have the unique opportunity to earn an income while also being there for your children.

My work from home mom story

Being a mother is hard enough, but add in a full-time job and it can feel downright impossible. Society tells us that we can have it all, but often at the expense of our mental and physical health. So, what’s a working mom to do? One solution is to become a work-from-home virtual assistant. As a work-from-home virtual assistant, you can be your own boss, set your own hours, and work around your family’s schedule.

I want to share my thoughts and experiences on being a full-time mom and at the same time working full-time as a Virtual Assistant and what it's taught me about life. I hope that it will resonate with other mothers out there and help them feel appreciated, understood, and connected.

FULL-TIME WORK FROM HOME MOM, MY STORY

As a work-from-home mom, you have the unique opportunity to earn an income while also being there for your children. Being a virtual assistant is the perfect way to do this, as it allows you to work from home and set your own hours but sometimes, there are companies or clients which cannot give you a flexible time and still stick to a fixed-hour job.

There are many companies that are now hiring virtual assistants, so there are plenty of opportunities available. You can use job boards or online directories to find companies that are hiring. Once you find a company that you’re interested in, be sure to read their job description carefully and make sure you meet their qualifications.

Once you’re hired, it’s important to be professional and efficient with your work. This will help you build a good reputation with your clients and ensure that they keep coming back to you for more work.

If you’re looking for a flexible and rewarding career as a work-from-home mom, then becoming a virtual assistant is definitely worth considering. With some hard work and dedication, you can easily make a great living working from home!

Motherhood is one of the most rewarding experiences a woman can have. But it's also a lot of work! Add in working from home as a virtual assistant, and it can be tough to find a balance between work and motherhood. That's why it's important to set realistic expectations for yourself and your family. Recognize that you won't be able to do everything perfectly all the time, but that's okay! As long as you're doing your best, that's all that matters.

WORK, LIFE, BALANCE

There are a lot of work-from-home moms who are able to balance their work and life. There are many different ways to balance your work and life. One of the most important things to do is to take care of yourself and your family. Another important thing is to make sure that you have a good support system to help you through tough times.

Another way to balance your work and life is to make sure that you have a schedule. If you are able to have a schedule, it will be easier to manage your time and find time to relax. It is also important to make sure that you have a good work-life balance.

I know how hectic and challenging life can be. Trying to balance work and home life is tough enough, but add in the fact that I work from home as a virtual assistant, and it can be downright overwhelming at times! But, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love being able to be there for my son while also working and being one of the providers for our family. It's not always easy, but it's definitely worth it. Seeing my son grow and change every day is such a joy, and I'm so grateful that I can be there for him. Being a mother is the best job in the world, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

MY WORK FROM HOME STORY: PROS & CONS

Working from home has many advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of working from home are that you can be with your kids, you can work around your family's schedule, and you don't have to commute. The disadvantages of working from home are that you will be spending a lot of time on the computer and you won't be able to take breaks when you need to.

Work-life balance is a tricky thing, and it's important to find the right way to go about balancing your work and your personal life.

TIPS

Here are some tips for managing life as a mom of one child while working from home as a virtual assistant:

1. Set aside dedicated work time each day, and make sure your family respects that time. Let your spouse or partner know when you're available to help with childcare and ask them to take over during those times so you can focus on work.
2. Create a schedule for yourself and stick to it as much as possible. This will help you stay organized and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
3. Don't be afraid to delegate tasks or ask for help when you need it. You can't do everything by yourself! Ask your spouse or partner to pitch in around the house, or hire a babysitter or cleaning service if necessary.
4. Make time for yourself every day, even if it's just 15-20 minutes. This is important for both your physical and mental health. Take a break from work to read, take a walk, breathe in, breathe out.

Here’s the thing. I cannot guarantee that everything I wrote here might work for everyone. This is only based on my own experience as a full-time work from home mom. To all mommies out there, your feelings are valid and so are you. We cannot be always perfect as a mother but that's okay! You are a great mom, always remember that.
