Telecommuting jobs

I telecommute for an insurance company. There are many work from home positions.

I don't know how much care your daughter would require, but other than my lunch break... I am constantly working.

True that. So many people think that "work from home" means "sit around in your jammies and bunny slippers and pick up the phone from time to time." My office is too chilly for jammies, and when I am at work, I am at work.

There are a lot of those telecommuting jobs where they issue you the laptop and can track your activity there. In one insurance job, one Friday I had a vaca day but brought my laptop with me to finish up one small thing. My supervisor dinged me because I only did that one small thing that whole day (though I had already billed a full week's worth of work in the previous four). She was only a little bit mollified when I pointed out that it was a vacation day.

Telecommuting means you will be monitored by big brother even more. You may find it difficult to move up and eventually you may grow tiresome of staying at home. It's hard for some cause they feel they never get out of the house. The people I know that do commute thought it was a dream at first but some fought to go back to the office.

My friend just last week got a job doing apple at home care. If you know a bit about IT, have a house phone, and internet then I would highly suggest applying there. They give you benefits day 1 and it's completely work from home.
