I am a new Mum, however very much use to working. Does anyone know of any at home job opportunities for mums that are not remotely similar to Avon. My challenge will be I do not have much in the way of experience I just want a little bit of money to help. Thank you in advance

No. They don't exist that easily, unless you go down the MLM route and then you won't make any money anyway.

What did you do before you had the baby?

There are lots of jobs allowing you to work from but it sounds like you don’t want that but want something you can do while looking after your baby? There are not many real jobs which allow for that.

You can't really work without childcare. So it a bit defeats the point of a work from home job, as you might as well drop your dc off at nursery and go to work, unless it's a long commute you're trying to avoid. If you want to be self-employed and have more flexibility, what are you good at? What skills do you have? I've worked from home all or part of the week since before I had kids (10+ years). But I do a normal job and have a lot of training, which isn't something someone could just jump into.

The main thing is just figuring out what you want and what you're good at. The flipside of that though is, if you're going to need childcare anyway, would you prefer a non-work from home type job so you can get out of the house, have a change of scenery, meet new people? Frankly, that was the best part about going back to work.
