Hi all, I have a 1 and a half year old little girl and also currently 11 weeks pregnant. I have a strong background of working in the nhs but last year during maternity leave I trained as a nail technician and began working self employed. When I found out I was pregnant I took a step back from this as I am high risk and didn’t want to commit to clients that I potentially may have to let down.

i enjoyed being self employed as it was flexible to work around my little girl as putting her in nursery is not an option! However I do have a strong family unit that can help with childcare.

To get to the point I was wondering if there is any flexible roles or work from home jobs that would be a good suit to me? My partner works super hard and I’d love to be able to contribute to household income even if it’s a little.

any advice would be much appreciated! Thankyou :-)

Do you still work in the NHS? What area?

After your mat leave, could you return part time to your NHS role and resume nail tech from home part time around child care? If you are a nurse, you could do your nurse prescriber and do botox/fillers from home or from hired rooms/beauty rooms if of interest.

You could do social/market research interviewing from home. I know a place that gives London living wage wherever you live. It's quite flexible in that there's daytime and evening shifts you can choose a mixture of. Something like that could work? I think some customer service/sales type roles are now often home based also. My neighbour works for an airline from home doing that stuff.

What place is that please?

i used to work for a marketing company during Covid where i would check passports for the nhs app and then I used to do calls for track and trace, I wouldn’t mind something like this again but just have no idea what companies offer such roles.

I’m open to doing anything, if it includes study or training I’m fine with that

See that’s something I’d be interested in! How would I go about doing this/finding a role?

You really can’t work from home with children at home, especially young children - I may have misunderstood, but the children wouldn’t be at home with you while you’re working, would they?

If you are thinking of looking after dc at the same time as working from home, until your dc are much older, that isn’t going to work

I work in talent acquisition (recruitment)’which is very wfh friendly. You need childcare tho!!

I've re-trained and switched careers. I now work from home as a massage therapist. You will ideally need a designated room to work from within the house, or an outbuilding outside.
I love my set up; lots of autonomy over my working hours and methods.
You will need to pay for the courses. Diplomas such as sports massage and Reflexology can be around 2k each. Smaller non diploma courses can be from £2OO or so. Some courses are a hybrid of online and classroom taught. (Diplomas tend to be more classroom based, hence the fees.)

I'll pm you the details. My mate works there and it's ok I think.

Do you really think accountant at a big 4 is a suitable recommendation for someone asking this question on mumsnet? Who is also looking to supervise two kids while working..
