Children at Home While Working?
Many people wonder what it's like to telecommute. Parents sometimes think telecommuting will save on the cost of daycare because their children will be home. I can tell you that both of these statements are highly unlikely. Telecommute jobs are just like normal jobs. The only difference is that you're at home and you do not need to go out and face traffic. It takes the same amount of concentration and low noise level as an office job would. In fact, many call center jobs will deny your application if you do not have suitable child care or if during the interview they hear a child or any kind of residential noise in the background. Residential noises are cars, lawn mowers, televisions, etc. I suggest that you really do some soul searching and find out if telecommuting is for you if you're using it just to be at home with the kids. If you're doing it to "spend more time" with them then you should be at the office instead because they won't understand why mom...
