Traditional remote work
If you’ve previously held positions in specific industries or sectors, but quit to have more time at home with your family, there may be opportunities for you to go back to work, without leaving your house. As more employers take the opportunity to hire employees remotely, this opens up where you can seek work from. If you worked in an office space, it’s likely that you could at least do a portion of your previous work from the comfort of your home. If you left on good terms, consider reaching out to your previous employer to see if there is part-time work they could offer you.
Other remote work includes blogging, social media opportunities, data entry positions, or customer service reps. Many of these allow you to set your own hours, which can be beneficial if you’re looking to continue spending time with your family during weekends and evenings.
