You are doing the best you can for your children and rest assured that they do see that.
Most work from home jobs are direct sales, MLM, and scams. You'll be hit up with all the recruiters on this site to sell their wares and be rich.....
"Real" work from home jobs are hard to come by. What is your speciality? What do you do best? What do you love to do?
Think outside the box and who knows, you might come up with something.
Most companies will not hire someone right away to work from home. You have to prove yourself to be self driven and self disiciplined. Also, work at home requires that you not have children and pets around so that you focus on the job at hand.
I do work from home running our company in a very niche market which is raw materials. It is not something anyone could pick up and do.
However, I do all the Quickbooks and financials, I have a Quickbooks whiz work at home mom who tutors me and helps me when I have questions about payroll, taxes etc.
It is hard to locate a stay at home job that is legit. Most are sales that want you to invest, sell, have parties, recruit, etc...
I do wich the best for you and I hope something comes you way that would be a good fit for you.
