Do you work?
It’s a question that one mom often asks another when meeting for the first time at a child’s birthday party, at church, or at the park. It’s also a question that doesn’t always have a solid “yes” or “no” answer (beyond that stay-at-home mantra “Every mom works.”), because many of us consider ourselves stay-at-home moms, but do some online writing or are trying to make our blogs a business.
Perhaps you haven’t had the need or desire to work, because you’ve been busy with babies and preschoolers, but sometimes factors come into play that leave us looking for more — more money or a way to fill your time that will benefit yourself and your family, such as
- A financial need — nothing gets us thinking of ways we can make a few bucks than a husband’s job loss, or braces, or needed home repairs
- A change in family status — maybe your youngest child has entered school full time or death or divorce has left you as the only wage earner

Susan P. says
My youngest is going off to college in the Fall and this would be a good way to transition back into the workforce. I’ll still be volunteering but just not as much so FlexJobs would be a useful tool in my belt.
Kim says
I would love to win! I’ve been looking for legit ways to work part time from home.
Taminar says
My husband wants to start his own business, but he’s nervous about leaving a steady paycheck. He could use something like FlexJobs to help him find part-time jobs that he could work around his own business while he’s getting started.

I’d love to win!
Tacy Torres says
I purchased a Groupon for a three month membership, since the year memberships were all bought up. I would really love to extend that membership to a full year, since I’m actively looking for a new position that would support my need to be home with my family.
Stephanie says
Flexjobs is an AWESOME site. I have been a member for almost a year and highly recommend it to anyone (but would love for my next year to be free!). I have been working from home for about 10 years and would never trade the work/life balance a flexible telecommuting job offers. Flexjobs has helped me find work, and with my most recent contract ending I am again looking through their posts daily.
Jenn says
This would be an awesome service to try. I’ve worked for myself for the past 5 years and would enjoy an opportunity to try this service out.
grace says
I’d love to be entered! I’m a part-time working Mama right now (out of the house with so much travel it makes my cry) so I am looking to transition. Of course, like the rest of the Mommy bloggers out there I’d LOVE to transform my Mommy blog it’s own living organism of lucrative campaigns, pricey ad space, free microwaves and Disney trips but alas, I have NO IDEA how to do that…still trying though =) In any case, I need to look for something else so that I can provide my babies with a relatively normal childhood, if it’s in my power to do so. the job search thing seems overwhelming but I’m willing to give it a shot! Thanks for offering this giveaway and even if I don’t win I think I’m going to sign up.
Tara R. says
I was laid off almost 3 years ago. With a special needs son, finding a job with flexible hours has been beyond difficult. This would be a great resource for me, and my family.

Yes, I would very much like a flexible job that allows me to still spend time with my family and take care of my children but also help contribute to the family budget. This sounds like a wonderful service.
Kimberly Kalil says
I hear about this site, but wasn’t sure if it would be worth the investment. I really want to transition out of the job I’m in and this would be awesome.

Would go a long way to work from home.
