How do you get back in to work after being a stay home mommy for a long time?

I'd suggest easing into it.  \n\nStart with part-time work to build your confidence, then full-time when you're assured of your abilities.

I am in the same position right now as you.  I have been a stay at home mom for 7 years now and have put my education on the back burner.  Now that 2 of my children are going to be in school full time it's time to go back and further my education.  I don't want to spend a lot of time going back to school, so instead of going to a regular college I am going to go to a trade school where I will just be learning the Trade and by pass all of the other stuff.  There are a lot of options for getting a degree in less than two years.  Medical assisting, dental assisting, massage therapy, billing insurance and coding, pharmacy technician, x-ray technician, paralegal, court reporting, legal assistant etc.  I hope everything works out for you.  It's tough when your out of school for so long and then go back. You'd be surprised at how much of the basics you forget and have to learn all over again.  It's worth it though to better yourself.  Best of luck!

Look for your local Workforce Investment Act (WIA) program.  They assist people in going back to work regardless of their income level or felony background (although they do want you to disclose it).\n\nYou can also contact the county welfare office.  There are people who are getting food stamps/cash assistance and are required to work in exchange for those services.  Someone in the welfare office assigns them to WEP.  That WEP Case Worker will be able to tell you where people can get jobs if they have felonies.  Your local prison will also tell you.  They usually have a back to work program and can tell you where they place their guys.  Good luck!

Write me back at yahoo mail.  I know tons of working moms that are still able to be good moms, meaning they can go to all their kids sports events, etc.

It's very hard to get a job when you're pregnant because they already know 1. you wont be around for long before you need alot of time off 2. They don't want to pay for maternity leave 3.They probably don't want to waste time training you because you might decide not to return after the baby. Keep trying though if that's what you really want, but are you going to want to put your baby in day care at only a few weeks old ?

I know someone that went through the same thing.  She has (4) children and stays home. She started her own home based business.  That keeps her busy, makes excellent money and has time for her and her family.  Have a look at this website.  www.opportunity4more.com.  The couple in the picture is the lady I am speaking about.  She would be great for you to contact and speak with.  She told me that she is much better now with staying home since she started her own home based business.  She  contributes ( a lot)  to the house hold income, feels good about what she is doing, has time for her kids and she also had time to do some personal development.  She has gone through welath creation and personal development courses that she highly recommends to someone like yourself.  Let me tell you she has helped me with my business and my lifestyle.  Take a look and see.

I'm a stay at home mum with 2 kids too.  Do what I did.  Get a job in a childcare centre!  It may not seem like much fun (it didn't to me when I started) but it's been great.  I tried to get office jobs and actually got offered 2 jobs, but by time I paid tax and childcare fees, I wasn't ending up with anything in my pocket at the end of the day, I was working for nothing.\n\nWith this job, my children come with me. (the childcare centre doesn't charge me for bringing my kids to work!)  It means that I have an income plus I get to spend the day with my children - which is so important, they're only little for a short period of time, you don't want to miss this if you can help it.  The best bit is that because my kids are participating in activities all day, by the end of the day, they're exhausted (me too!) but they pretty much eat their dinner and go straight to bed without arguments.  Some days when I work part time, they are happy to spend the afternoon in quiet activities (watching TV) because they've had so much stimulation in the morning.  On these days, I study part time - I'm doing a business course by correspondence.  \n\nTo get a job like this, if you have no experience (I didn't), offer to do some voluntary work for a childcare centre nearby to get some "work experience".  Explain to them that you have 2 young children and you'll work for free in return for free childcare while you're there.  It's amazing how many places will take you on and teach you the ropes if they know they're getting free labour.  I don't have any qualifications (not even first aid) but the law here in Australia is that as long as there is a qualified person in the room, I don't need to be qualified, I just had to get a police check which the childcare centre paid for.  I worked for 2 months voluntary before they offered me a paid position.  Once you have experience you could get a position anywhere.  It's an industry that there are a lot of employment vacancies at the moment.  Once you start getting on top of things financially and get into a bit of a routine, maybe you could consider studying part time by correspondence (via email) as I did, it will open up a whole world for you.  The day your kids start school, you may have qualifications for a job you've always dreamed of and have a huge future in front of you with a great income.\n\nI wish you all the best, I know how hard it is to be a mum and be broke!!!!  Don't be discouraged, keep knocking on doors until you find the right job.  It will happen if you keep a positive frame of mind.  I know you can do it!!!!

Why do you have to take leave when your husband comes into town?  Don't you have the right to have a job as well?  Why can't you just see your husband in the evenings when he is on leave?  If you really want to spend more time with him, take a part time job maybe 2 or 3 days a week so that when he is on leave, you only have to work these days and the rest of the time you can spend with him.\n\nOtherwise, probably the best option for you is to do "temporary work".  I'm not sure what country you're in, but most countries have employment agencies that you can work for on a casual basis.  They will send you to company to work for a day, or month, or a year depending on what the company's employee needs are.  I've done heaps of this type of work.  It's fun because you get to work for different companies so your job doesn't get boring.  You can tell the agency when you are available for work, so if you want 3 months off, you just let them know and then come back at the end of the time off and go straight back to work.  The pay is usually pretty good, you get paid by the hour but you don't get sick pay or holiday pay because it's on a casual basis.  The only downside is that sometimes there can be no work at particular times of the year (eg. summer if you're working in an office because most businesses take holidays then)\n\nLook in your local telephone book under "employment agencies" and phone them and ask them if they do "temp work".  This type of work is available in most industries (ie. office, hospitality, tourism, retail, cleaning, etc.), so you can pick what you want to do.  Good luck.

A stay at home mother of 3 is a full time job and should be very rewarding. Why do you want to spoil that with a second job which will ruin the quality of the first because then your 3 children will not be getting the care they are used to. Come on. You're doing what you want to do. Be proud of it.

My "job" is a stay-at-home mom.  I absolutely love it.  The money sucks, but the "rewards" are worth it.

I am a stay at home mom with five children. I have been working from home for a short time now and it has been the best decision I have made. I can now stay home with my children and still earn extra income. I don't have to host parties, sell, stock or deliver products. I don't even have to worry about collecting any money. We have been in business for 21 years now and have been member in good standing with the BBB for all 21 years. We were also awarded the BBB's Hall of Fame award at the end of 2005.

First get your act together. Talk to the people you owe oney to and ask for some grace. Is unemployment an option till you can get a job. Do you have freinds and family that can watch your kids till you get on your feet. \n\nIs there someone you can stay eith till your able to move out on your own?\nYou can do it!

Therepy do work pretty good if u can afford them. Ask ur doctor a written statement about u going back to work. If he says no u cant work get a statement\nthat way u can use it for ur disablity and u may want to get a lawyer on that too.
