A Mom's Guide to Working From Home
Part Two
Is That Opportunity Knocking?
By Jacqueline Rupp
Description: Design Web sites for businesses using HTML and Internet software.
Pros: Steady online business growth translates into demand for Web site designers.
Cons: Strong computer skills are needed.
Experience: A strong knowledge of HTML and good marketing sense are essentials for this career. Computer skills can be learned by taking one or two courses in Web site design and HTML. Be sure, however, that your instructor is a successful business designer himself.
Salary: Varies widely.
Pros: Makes use of toys and equipment you probably already have. Great if you love (really love) being around children.
Cons: Space can become anissue. Conflicts may arise between the attention given to your own children and your client's children. Varying parenting styles can also lead to tension. Burnout can happen quickly if you take on too many children. Hidden costs (like crayons, wipes, snacks, etc.) can add up.
Experience: It helps to have some knowledge of child development and the ability to keep your cool in chaotic situations.
Salary: Earn about $200 to $500 a week, depending on the number of children.
Tips: Start out slowly, with one or two children to see how it works. Make sure to check your local zoning laws and license requirements and obtain the necessary certifications. Also look into added insurance needs.
