Top 5 Work-at-Home Opportunities for Moms with Noisy Children

I thought finding a work-at-home job was going to be simple. After all, I have many unique skills and am highly educated. I never had a problem finding a job outside of the house, so I figured that finding a job working inside of the house would be no different.

Boy was I wrong!

I was amazed at how competitive the work-at-home industry was - especially if you were looking for a work-at-home "job" as opposed to a work-at-home "business" like I was. It seems for every available position, there were thousands of applicants. And if that wasn't daunting enough, I soon found out one very sad fact: If you have young, noisy children in your house, your chances of finding a good work-at home job is even harder.

See, many work-at-home opporunities require the use of the telephone. I don't know about you, but trying to talk to a customer while taking care of a newborn and a toddler just did NOT seem like a task I was up for. So I thought to myself, surely there must be some kind of job that I could find that would not require me to use the phone?

After hours upon hours of searching, I was able to find some positions where that did not require the use of the phone. But believe me, it was a lot tougher to find these jobs than I thought it was going to be! But you're about to reap the rewards from my labor, because I'm about to share with you the top five, non-phone telecommuting jobs. Here they are (in no particular order):

1. Freelance writer. If you are on AC, you probably already know that freelance writing is the ideal job for a mother with young and/or noisy children. You can write little pieces here and there, during naps or during those few calm moments when your children have decided not to terrorize you. Fabulous!
