Many single moms are career moms as well. It’s no easy task trying to have a job and care for your children without a partner to help you. Learning how to balance your workload with your responsibilities at home and to your kids can be a 24-hour job in itself, but our site is here to offer career help and other advice! We want single moms to be successful at whatever career path they may follow, and we have the information and resources to help them achieve that goal.
Maintaining that balance between the time you spend at work and the time you spend at home with your kids is an important but challenging task that seems impossible when you always feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to do it all. But here you can find help for working moms like you, whether you need to juggle taking care of your kids while working at home, or how to keep up with your kids if you have a career outside the home. With time constraints like that to contend with, preparing meals for your family can be tricky, and long hours at work can leave little time for cooking. Still, nothing is impossible for a dedicated single mom like you! Find ideas here for how to plan meals with a busy schedule.
Because single moms are often the sole provider for their families, working at home can be a great solution so they can spend more time with their kids. While setting your own hours and being near your children all day can seem like an ideal work situation, there are more things to consider than just the benefits of a job like that. Not only do moms have to consider whether they can get their work done with their kids in the next room, but it’s important to remember that there are many people who want to take advantage of others through work from home scams. These types of scams promise payment, often for little to no work involved, and never deliver. But we can help you learn to distinguish the scams from the legitimate job offers, and you can learn more about whether a work-from-home job is right for you.
If you’re wondering what job you’re best suited for, start here! Whether you want to find flexible hours, good benefits, fields with lots of new positions opening up, or jobs that pay well, you can find the details here. And if you already have that interview lined up, we have interviews tips to help you make a good impression, as well as how to polish your resume.
If you’ve lost your job, your situation changes drastically. We have resources to help you get the most out of your unemployment benefits, what to do when searching for a new job, and how to cope with being newly unemployed. What’s more, you’ll find resources to help you look for a job, what kind of job fits well with your skill set and experience level, and how to network and utilize those contacts to help you become the successful working mom you dream to be!

I am a single mother with a career, It is very true that it is a full time 24hr job, but I wouldn’t change it for the world! I am happy with my financial situation and I get to spend quality time with my son.
February 15, 2011 at 10:46 am
Do you work from home? That’s always a great way to be able to spend quality time with your kids and get paid too!

I am a single mom. I do freelance work at home. I’m glad that with my job, I can work anytime I would like to. With that, I can still be with my kids to guide them on the early stages of growing. I can still also cook food for them and send them to school in the morning. And while they are at school, I work on my freelance job.
February 15, 2011 at 10:47 am
That’s a perfect arrangement!

I am a single mom who is singly taking care of my 2 kids and at the same time working hard in an everyday basis. And after reading some of the words on this site, I can truly say that being a single mom is not an easy task especially when you’re handling your career. But nothing to worry because there is no impossible thing for a single mom who is dedicated and hard working like us.

I am a single mom, with my 3rd on the way. I have been searching the web for months, well actually years. I want to find a legit work at home job, but there are so many scams out there. And with me being financially strapped, I am getting worried….
Any ideas????
February 22, 2011 at 8:58 am
You can always start your own job from home. It may take a little bit of up front investment, but it could really pay off in the end! Try doing something like Etsy or eBay and sell your own creations, or you could always try freelancing work if your a good writer, photographer, etc.

I am doing Mary Kay and Partylite, however that isn’t going anywhere. What is Etsy? Never heard of it.
March 3, 2011 at 8:44 am
Etsy.com is an online marketplace where you can register for free, and have your own online “store” where you can put photos and descriptions of your products, and sell to others! There’s some wonderful products on there, and it’s an easy way to sell to people everywhere.

Hi, I am a 19 years old single mom. I have my 6 months old baby with me and I don’t get any support from my baby’s father. I am undergraduate and I don’t have any more budgets to finish my studies. Is there any career or job you can give or assist me with? I want a job that will hire me even though I don’t have a diploma to present.
March 22, 2011 at 9:43 am
I would look through our single mom education articles. While we are unable to give you jobs, we certainly want to help you find one. While you do not have a diploma, look for some jobs that don’t require one, but I would try online classes on the side and start working toward that goal so that you can get a much better paying job in the future.

March 29, 2011 at 9:43 am
I would take a look first at what your talents are. Are you good at writing? Look into freelancing for a local paper, a website, or a magazine. Are you creative? Think about what low cost, yet beautiful items you could make that could potentially sell well on places like eBay or Etsy.
April 3, 2011 at 10:19 am
