Family Friendly Working
Inspiring ideas for making money when you have kids

Every mum makes a tough decision about returning to work after having a baby. Having a second child can make the cost of childcare outweigh what you earn. And it’s hard to combine being there for your schoolchildren with a full time job.

Mother and small business advisor Antonia Chitty has put together a guide for parents which is full of case studies and ideas for finding work that fits comfortably around having kids. She advises not only on starting a business, but also on working for someone else or freelancing, with lots of advice, pros and cons and contributions from other parents who have been there before. If you have had enough of trying to do too much in too little time, and feel torn between work and spending time with your children, this book will guide you through the options. Do you make something that might be saleable? Have you got a skill you could use to earn in the evenings or while the children are asleep? What courses might help you retrain AND still be there when the kids get home from school?

Whether you need to earn something just to boost the family budget or have ideas for a business that could support your family if only you knew how to get started, this is the book for you.

About the author
Antonia Chitty has been working with parents running their own businesses since the birth of her daughter, Daisy. Daisy’s birth spurred Antonia to move away from her career as a researcher/writer on Which? Magazine, and move into helping people learn to promote their own businesses better. She has a unique knowledge of the ups and downs of running your own business as a mum, not just based on her own experience but also on the experiences of her clients and of the hundreds of mums in business she comes into contact with in her network.
 
Love the sound of this book. As a new mum, the theme resounds loud and clear with me. Just trying to re-establish myself in the freelance writing world after a 6 month break and it's hard to be tough and only accept the work I know won't jeopardise having enough time to care for my son. As I guess I'm your target market, the press release has worked it's magic: I want to get my hands on a copy! Will hunt it down...
Thanks, C
