See Mommy Work

Looking for Work at Home situations. I am a single mother, and I am in need of additional income. I do shared custody with my son, a newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetic. Because of this, I am unable to work a standard 8-5 job. My manager works around my schedule, but as most people know, the pay is not great for the amount of work done. I am a quick learner, and would love to find something that may even make it possible to quite my regular job, if possible.

I have been certified in medical billing, and have even registered a company name, but do not have the expertise at knowing how to proceed from this point. So I would also be willing to have help with this or get more experience with this field. Writing/editing jobs would also be possible. Help running a small business where customer service is priority is another option.

I have high speed internet, as well as copy/fax machine. Would be willing to add additional phone line if needed.
