Working

Can someone offer me some advice please?

Firstly, are there any genuine work from home opportunities out there apart from avon, kleeneze etc?

Secondly, does anyone know about becoming a 'virtual assistant' or doing admin work from home?

The reason I ask is that once my maternity leave finishes, I will more than likely not be returning to my old job due to changes in circumstances meaning my previous childcare arrangements will no longer be suitable.

Regards

    My cousin was telling me today that she does this sort of thing from home but I didn't get chance to ask her any more details. Might try and find out more from her.

  • I looked into Take Note Typing a while ago (transcription typing) but I couldn't give it the time so never took it any further - plus you have to register seperately as self employed and for the amount I'd have been making I just didn't think it was right for me.

    Might be worth a look but obviously I can't vouch for them first hand.
