5 Best Jobs for Moms in 2021

by RAKI WRIGHT

Holding a demanding job while raising kids is no easy task for any woman.

This is the reason why many women hold off settling down until much later or choose to quit their jobs to bring up a family.

If you would rather kill two birds with one stone, you need to take a job that is flexible enough to accommodate your schedule.

Which careers fit the bill? Here are some top picks.

1. Real Estate Agent

The real estate industry in urban Australia is a rather vibrant one. The earning potential is pretty solid, as well.

For moms, being a realtor allows you to schedule open houses and other work-related activities around your daily routine.

To get into this, you need licensure, a sound knowledge of market forces as well as a good understanding of the geographical region you want to operate in.

If you choose to open your own real estate agency, you could have the freedom to take time off when necessary or work the most convenient hours for you.

2. Talent Acquisition Manager

Talent acquisition managers, recruiters, and headhunters work with employers to find suitable candidates to fill open roles.

If you would love to be your own boss, this is something you might want to consider.

However, even when you choose to be employed, this role still allows a reasonable work-life balance.

The beauty of this job is that you can run most operations from your phone or computer. This means you can work from virtually anywhere.

To be successful, you need impeccable networks, a firm understanding of both employer and employee needs, superior communication and interpersonal skills, and great negotiation skills.

3. Licensed Social Worker

Social workers in Australia have the option to work either full time or part-time.

With most establishments operating 24/ 7 every day of the week, you could have some flexibility if you decided to take up a job in the sector.

This means that you could be able to drop your kids off at school and have some time yourself in the morning if you take the afternoon shift. Similarly, you can take morning shifts if you want to be home when your kids get back from school.

Get comprehensive information on getting into social work through this website. You can also check other nonprofit jobs as a good option.

4. Social Media Marketer

This is an excellent choice for moms as this is a job that allows you to easily work from home.

Today, just about every organization across all industries requires a social media presence. In Australia and indeed, in many countries across the world, the demand for social media marketers is higher than supply.

For this role, you will need good visual design skills, writing abilities as well as sound marketing and PR skills.

5. Personal Trainers

Fitness training is a rapidly growing business as more and more people are realizing the need to take a proactive role in their health.

As a personal trainer, your job is to create personalized workouts and diet programs, depending on an individual’s training goals.

Personal training comes with an unparalleled level of flexibility.

You are at liberty to work as much or as little as you want, and you get to pick your hours too.

You can schedule clients around your parenting schedule, and you can have some days completely free to attend to your parenting duties.

Should you decide to run a fitness center, using fitness management software offers a solution to increase efficiency in running your business.

It’s all About Planning

It’s quite possible to be both a great mom and a professional at the same time.

All you need to do is to find and align yourself with a job that offers flexibility as pertains to working hours or that allows for remote working.

When you have these factors worked out, you can settle on a career that will allow you to be a present parent, and in turn, a happier and more fulfilled individual.
