Working from home with a one year old. Possible?
Does anyone have any experience with working from home with a 12 month old? I have an office job, where I can work from home a few days a week. Is it possible and does anyone have any advice? I don’t want to put my baby in daycare, would love to make it work if possible.

Most work places say your kids have to be in day care or have someone else there watching them
It depends on your job and how understanding your boss is. I work from home as a bookkeeper. It’s quite easy in my profession. I also do social media management and virtual assistance. My daughter is 6 now but when she was younger her I was able to work around her schedule. I find it harder to do jobs that require customer service and direct contact with customers because of background noise.
