Own bussiness

Hi everyone I’ve recently started a small bussiness creating personalised jumpers for children (Parker&Addi). Just wondering how is everyone juggling trying to have a career and having children at home with you, I have 2 little girls one is in school now and the other is about to turn 2 (So as you can imagine the terrible twos are in full swing). I love creating these jumpers for little ones it’s something I’ve done for a while for family and friends and recently thought I would try and make something of it. I’ve had quite a few orders and it’s going great but I just wanted to see how others manage a business/job whilst also trying to hold down the fort at home. I am really trying to not feel like a complete failure with trying to create something I love doing. 🩷

If you’re working you can put your little one into childcare for 15 hours

@N 💞 my youngest is starting at nursery in January the nursery that is near us doesn’t take children until they are 2 so I am hoping that the 2 days will make a difference 🤞🏻 but with the hours will I still get them even though I’m only selling on Etsy it’s not like a big business?

Can you share the link to your page please? And good luck 🤞🏼

@Bethany I’m assuming you’re registered with hmrc as working self employed? In which case you should still be eligible if you earn a certain amount a week, I can’t remember what the amount is but it does say if you’ve started your business in the last 12 months your criteria is slightly different, they’re more lenient I think

Just had a look at your insta. So cute!! Hope it all goes well for you

@Bethany well I love your little jumpers. Your strawberry jumper is super cute. Well done, I’m starting to write children’s books on the side and study to get qualified in childcare. I chip at it every time I can, alongside the rest. A bit every day. I’m aiming to take more advantage of the evenings, which is when I have more time usually 🙂
