I am able to allow the oldest to play at the play ground most of the day because my one brother lives right behind it, there is also a tv, toys, couch, love seat and big table in the office of the motel that I work at. It's a pretty laid back and easy job for the most part and i'm able to play with the kids and then go answer the phone and check people in and out between spending time with them. The only time it is really hectic is during the morning when you have to have lists made for the house keepers, give them instructions for the day, make coffee and get keys from everyone checking out...and also those weekends where we have the motel already booked up and everyone seems to want to come in at once. I also had my boyfriend there to help me with the kids a lot of the time too, and he would take the kids home early sometimes so that I could just be there on my own and get any work done that wasn't finished yet. I think most of the things that I do to make it easier for me to take my kids to work with me could be applied to a situation where you are working from home as well. Have clothes all ready set out ahead of time, have meals planned out ahead of time, and take small breaks through out the times when you are working to spend time with your children. It also depends on what it is that you are doing when you are working from home and what time frame you have to do it all in!<br><b>References : </b><br> I’m a mom who when working is able to take my kids to work with me.

I happen to work when my kids are in school. I think yours do not go to school yet. But regardless I really did not start working at home alot until all 3 went to school. Being a mom is hard enough work. But the type of work I do actually enables my kids to help if they want. When I worked at home in sales, it was real hard to be on the phone with little kids, too stressful and I gave that up. It was too hard for the kids to be quiet with the snap of a finger.<br><b>References : </b><br>:) I am an artist and muralist. I happen to work when my kids are in school.
