I’m sure mums would agree that maternity leave generally feels like a time of extreme personal and professional reflection. Up until this point, when would we have had time to analyse our previous career choices and subsequent successes? The answer is never! That being said, we thought it would be a nice change of pace to highlight what we believe might be the most flexible jobs for mums returning to work!
Childcare Worker
Such a strong career choice for new mums, Childcare workers have the ability to create a pretty flexible work schedule. Some mothers returning to work go as far as setting up daycare facilities within their homes, integrating their own children into the mix.

Virtual Assistant
Virtual assistants are so hot right now! With working from home at an all time high across the country, small to medium businesses have embraced a more virtual business model. Thus allowing Virtual Assistants to become a significantly cost effective and efficient way to maintain operations. As a virtual assistant, you would typically outsource your time to several clients at once. Paid by the hour, your role would include everything from calendar management, invoicing, note taking and maintaining client relationships.

Salesperson
Many companies are even outsourcing their sales departments to ‘work from home’ sales agents.
