Working at home isn’t all sunshine and roses by a long shot, but it can have some incredible benefits that many mothers wouldn’t trade for the world. The potential perks of making this decision can impact your life financially, emotionally, and right down to the very relationships you hold dear.

Some of the most notable benefits of working at home include:

• Saving money on daily expenses

  If you’re leaving a job to work at home, you will have to offset the loss, but there are some instant savings that can be felt. Mothers who work at home often save a great deal of money on such as childcare, commuting expenses, lunches, and even dinners. After all, it is much easier to make sure a nightly meal is on the table if you’re around during the day to see that this is so.

• Improved bonding time with family members

  While scheduling can vary based on the business opportunity pursued, many work-at-home moms find they do have a lot more time to spend with their family members. Even while they are working, they can simply see family more and be more involved in their daily lives. This is a reward that can make the decision very worthwhile.

• Potential reduction in stress

  Keeping up with kids, a household, and work will be difficult no matter what. Doing so with a job outside of the home, however, can be a stressful nightmare. Moms who work out of the house can experience a drop in stress levels when they get into the groove of actually “being there” to get things done. Tossing in the laundry before starting a day’s worth of work, for example, can become second nature. So, too, can take the time to greet little ones at a bus stop and so on.



• The personal rewards

  It doesn’t matter whether you launch a business that sells items through private parties or you go into freelance data entry, when you taste your successes they will be truly yours. Creating even a modestly successful at home business can be incredibly rewarding on a personal level.

• Flexible scheduling

  While some businesses will be more flexible than others, most work-at-home moms find they are much more bendable in what they can and cannot do than they were when they worked outside the home. This can be an incredible perk for mothers who want to call the shots on when they work, what days they work, and how long they put in.

Working at home can be terribly rewarding for women who give the prospect a serious go. The rewards of doing so can range from the financial to the very personal.
