So we as mums still have the option to be stay at home mums yet earn our own income and keep our minds active in the workforce
-Jo Stewart-
Its a lesson to us all that mums inflexibility with hours doesnt make us bad workers. Were actually an untapped gold mine.
-Llinos Patchell-
With the cost of living these days, even two parent families need both parents working. While children are young, it’s preferable for the main caregiver to work while the kids are at school & be there for them when school has finished. Jobs for Mum’s makes the task of finding work that fits into school hours really easy!
-Christie Loveday-
It is a platform that represents moms that wanted to balance family and work life. And I love Jobsformums.com for that. My current employer that hired me through this job search engine was considerate that I work flexible schedules and to WFH on random days.
