Hello! Today we will talk about work for mothers on maternity leave. I am the mother of a two-year-old baby, but already six months after his appearance, I began to think about a side job. I have tried many options and I know what work is real and what is not. In this article, I will talk about how to make money on maternity leave for moms like me.
Today you will learn:
- How much can you earn on maternity leave.
- who are taking care of the baby.
- All the pros and cons of working on maternity leave.
Why do women need to work on maternity leave?
This question torments many men and women. There may be several answers depending on the situation.
We will now consider them:
- Women try to find a part-time job or vacancies during maternity leave due to the banal lack of money. During this period, mother does not go to her main job, therefore she does not receive stable income. And the money that dad brings is not always enough. At the same time, the child grows up and more and more money has to be spent on him. That's when moms start looking for a part-time job.
- Some women, not having financial difficulties, do not want to focus only on the child. They do an excellent job with the duties of a mother, but it is vital for them to develop, learn something new, and communicate with people. That is why they delve into the study of something new, discover their talents and earn money for small “female joys”.
- And someone is dissatisfied with their main job and during maternity leave is actively looking for new job, which will later become the main one.
Personally, I wanted to develop, do something, have the opportunity to earn money. My husband still does not understand why I need this, but he supports all my undertakings.
Every mom has her own story. Someone wants to achieve independence, someone is ashamed to ask for money for cosmetics, etc. If you are reading this article, then you probably decided to earn extra money while on maternity leave.
Remember the main thing! Working on maternity leave is neither shameful nor shameful. Show others that you are capable of much and that powerful potential is hidden in you!
Earnings on maternity leave - what to do?
And this question is asked by absolutely all mothers who decide to earn extra money during the maternity leave. There are many options for working from home.
Before proceeding to the description of ways to earn money, I suggest that you answer the following questions:
- What can you do? Work for mothers on maternity leave may be related to hobbies, talents or skills. Perhaps you are a first-class specialist in some field, and you can work in your profession at home. Adequately evaluate your abilities and decide what you would like to do.
- How much free time do you have? Each child is individual and requires a special approach. Sometimes the first 6 months for the mother are the most calm (the baby sleeps and eats). For other parents, the situation may be completely different. I felt minimal freedom when the baby was 6-8 months old.
Before you start looking for a job, determine for yourself how much time you can devote to work. This is the period when the child is sleeping or other family members are busy with it.
- Are you ready to learn? If you think that your professional skills will help you make good money, then do just that (for example, if you are an excellent lawyer, you can give advice online, by phone, at home). If you do not have the skills that will help you earn money, then tune in to training.
- How much do you want to earn? Depending on the availability of free time and the desire to conquer the peaks, you can find a job that will bring an excellent income. Remember that simple work never brings big money.
Business ideas for moms on maternity leave
All ways of earning can be divided into several groups:
- Work in the specialty at home;
- Work related to hobbies and hobbies;
Any job may or may not bring income. It all depends on how well you choose your occupation.
Now, let's take a closer look at each of these categories.
Professional work at home
In this group, I attributed all types of work (or rather, services) that a mother can carry out at home.
Makeup artist, hairdresser, manicurist
At home, you can organize a mini-version of a beauty salon. Just to get started, you will have to take the appropriate courses. Well, if you were engaged in similar work before the decree. In this case, you already have the necessary professional skills and a set of tools. It remains to find clients. This can be done by advertising on the Internet, offering your services to familiar friends and relatives.
Do not expect that immediately there will be a lot of people who want to use your services. But over time, the word about you will spread, the clientele will expand and the income will increase.
The main problem of such part-time work is its seasonality, the presence of a large set of materials and professional skills.
Masseur
If women can do manicures, pedicures and make-up on their own, then massage should be done by a professional. If you have a medical background and educational institution you were taught the basics of massage, then you can open a massage parlor at home. You can also sign up for express courses and master this skill.
In order to massage you only need massage oil and talcum powder. Sessions can be held at home, or go to the client's house (if there is someone to leave the child with).
Your income will depend on the number of clients and procedures performed. The course is 10 massages. So consider how much you can earn on just one client.
I completed massage courses before pregnancy. Making the procedures familiar, I “recaptured” the money for training after 2 weeks. Now friends sometimes come to me and ask for a massage for an appropriate fee. I agree, I turn on cartoons for the child, and I myself earn money.
Nanny
Some mothers are faced with such a problem that they sometimes need to go away and leave the child for someone. It's about about a few hours. Professional nannies do not want to take on such work, because they are looking for clients for the whole day.
If there are mothers in your environment who want to hire a nanny, offer your services. They will certainly agree, because you are also a mother and you know how to deal with children. And it will be more interesting for several peanuts to walk together than one by one.
Mini garden or lessons early development
If you really love children (not only your own, but also strangers), feel the potential of a teacher in yourself and have a large living space, then you can try to open a mini-garden.
A small number of children of the same age group can be invited there. You set the time of their stay yourself. For example, if you do not have 4 baby cots and you do not plan to purchase them, then you can set the condition that parents must pick up the babies before 13.00.
This is a larger idea for a nanny, but it can also bring in several times more income.
In addition, you can try to conduct developmental lessons for children. This will take a maximum of 1 hour, and there can be up to 7 children in a group. You will need to learn as many rhymes as possible and look at examples of educational games. You don't need a lot of inventory. In most Early Childhood Development Centers, 70% of the teaching material is self-made. In such a business, the main thing is the desire to work and love children.
Outsourcing
IN Lately Outsourcing is becoming very popular.
Outsourcing – this is when an enterprise shifts part of its direct responsibilities to another company or individual.
To make it clearer, let's look at an example. Mom was a good accountant before the decree. She has many friends of entrepreneurs who, due to lack of relevant knowledge, cannot keep accounts and draw up reports. Then they turn to this mother for help, who, sitting at home, will manage the accounting affairs of a friend's company.
Such a side job does not require any investment. It is enough to be a good specialist in a certain field.
Fashion designer, seamstress
Are you good at and love to sew? If your answer is yes, then you can earn money on your skill. Offer your services to neighbors, friends, acquaintances. Do not be afraid that there will be no customers. Each person periodically buys jeans, pants that need to be hemmed, and sooner or later all things require repair. Or maybe a neighbor loves exclusive things and will ask you to sew a skirt or jacket.
Tutor
If you know foreign languages, or play musical instruments, then you can do tutoring. Great if you have ever taught children or adults before. But even if you do not have a pedagogical education, but you know how to convey information intelligibly and clearly, you can try yourself in this area.
Lessons can be done at home. If this is not possible, then it remains to go to clients or conduct online lessons. When caring for a small child, it will not be easy for you to get out of the house, and it will be much easier to conduct training using a webcam.
Writing term papers, control and theses
Modern students very often resort to the help of people who write essays, term papers, tests and even theses for them. If you have the necessary knowledge and skills, then you can offer your services to students.
I also wrote term papers and test papers but that was before my baby was born. Nevertheless, it is quite possible to do this in maternity leave.
cooking
If you love spending time in the kitchen and don't get bored with the stove, then you might want to try cooking for other people. We do not urge you to fry pies and go to sell them.
A year ago I started making confectionery to order. To be honest, I had never baked cakes until that time, but I decided to try it. For myself, I realized that the main thing is to learn how to bake a biscuit and make several types of creams. She covered and decorated cakes with mastic (it is very easy to do). Found clients through social media. networks.
I set a small price, so there were orders. I had to buy some confectionery equipment. I just lacked professional skills. finish cooking courses I didn't have the time or the desire.
Now I only bake for my friends, because I found a more suitable way of earning. But many of my friends went further, trained as confectioners and make decent money doing what they love.
If you're afraid of baking cakes, try starting with cupcakes, gingerbread, or some brownies. Recently, candy bars have become very popular. This is the aggregate a large number sweet confectionery
Just be prepared that before your hobby starts to generate income, you will spend money on tools, materials and products.
Some enterprising mothers open in their kitchen culinary business. It is associated with the making of open pies called quiche. This is a distant resemblance to pizza. Such products are also ordered by office workers as a lunch and noisy companies “for beer”.
It does not matter what exactly you will cook, the main thing is that you like it and make a profit.
Breeding indoor plants
If you really love indoor plants, but there is nowhere to put them, try selling them. Do not know who and what to implement? I'll tell you about a small business on my friend's maternity leave.
She is a big fan of violets. There are countless varieties and varieties of this plant. A friend collects entire collections at home, designs racks. In order for you to understand how many there are, I will say that she waters them every other day and this procedure takes 1.5 hours.
This is a rather capricious plant, but it is easy to breed. It is enough to break off one leaf and put it in water, and after it takes root, transplant it into the ground. There are entire groups in the social. networks where these plants are sold. Leaves without roots are sold cheaper, and plants already transplanted into the ground are more expensive. My friend sold plants via the Internet and at her main job among employees (before the decree).
Violets lovers are constantly updating their stocks, so they are actively looking for new species. As you can see, flowers can please not only the eye, but also the wallet.
Earnings on maternity leave for hobbies
Photographer, videographer
Sometimes on maternity leave, mothers discover new talents in themselves. For example, when photographing their children, they understand that they get very beautiful pictures. If you add good equipment and the ability to work in Photoshop to this talent, then you can make a good photographer.
If possible, be sure to sign up for photography courses and learn how to work in graphic editors. My neighbor did just that, and then she went to schools, kindergartens and offered her services (she made graduation albums).
Handmade
Hand-made are handmade products, i.e. handmade. This direction is at the peak of popularity, because most people like exclusive things. If you like to create something, create with your own hands, we recommend turning your hobby into a tool for earning money.
There are a lot of hand-made directions. I will talk about the most popular and most profitable.
Making decorative candles
Even if you have never tried making decorative candles, you can learn how to do it. It is not difficult, but it will require some effort. First you need to find and read detailed instructions for their manufacture, purchase materials (they are not very expensive) and start experimenting.
The main thing is that your imagination should work well, because you will have to create by mixing aromas (candles can be scented), colors, and choose the design of each product. Success depends on this.
Soap making
This type of income is similar to the previous one. The difference is only in materials and tools. Here you will have to spend a little more, because the materials for making soap are more expensive than simple wax, which is necessary for making candles.
Do not be afraid that no one will buy your creation. If done correctly advertising campaign on the Internet (in particular, in social networks), then you can count on a regular flow of customers.
Embroidery
Embroidery is a very abstract concept. Needlewomen know that you can embroider paintings, icons, tablecloths and even clothes. At the same time, they use various materials(ribbons, threads, beads, etc.) and different techniques are used.
If you enjoy embroidery and are good at it, I suggest using your hobby for profit. For example, if you are cross-stitching or ribbon-embroidering paintings, try selling them at exhibitions, online, or to your friends. At first, you can give your masterpieces to friends, and do not hesitate to tell that, if necessary, you can fulfill any orders.
My distant relative embroiders icons with beads and successfully sells them. Personalized icons are especially popular.
Making decorative ornaments
Surely you often see little girls with multi-colored rubber bands, hairpins, which are decorated with ribbons, on playgrounds. But these are homemade products of some craftswoman. Why don't you try it too?
There is a lot of visual information on the Internet on how to make hoops, hairpins and other jewelry. And in the store you can buy all the necessary material.
In parallel, you can engage in the manufacture of jewelry. To do this, you need to decide on the direction. Perhaps you will specialize in natural stone jewelry, or maybe you will prefer products made from polymer clay.
Remember that women at all times loved to adorn themselves with beads, earrings, bracelets, etc. Therefore, the demand for such products will be constant.
Knitting to order
If you are an excellent knitter and you have enough time for your hobby, you can start making knitwear to order. Great if you knit and knit and crochet. These knitting techniques allow you to make completely different masterpieces.
Tailoring of soft toys
The fair sex of any age love soft toys. Teddy bears are out of fashion, and factory-made toys no longer surprise anyone. If you know how to sew and feel the potential of a designer or fashion designer, then you can start with sewing soft toys.
Create a series of unique toys and sell them at fairs and sales. Perhaps they will bring you fame and recognition of millions of people.
Making money trees or beadwork (souvenirs)
Majority office workers likes to keep all sorts of trinkets on his desktops (figurines, beadwork, etc.).
Now on the Internet you can find a lot of information on how to make all kinds of souvenirs. Trees made of natural stone, beads or coins are very popular. They are made quite simply, and their manufacture will not take a lot of materials.
A few years ago I became interested in making trees from beads. This is a very interesting activity. Weaving is soothing and relaxing. Implemented finished goods through souvenir shops.
Production of wedding paraphernalia
Any wedding involves the presence of a large number of wedding attributes. These are festive boutonnieres, and beautifully decorated glasses of the newlyweds and chests for money. If you like this activity, then start creating.
Implement already finished products can be done online or with wedding salons. It is also possible to make similar products to order. That way you won't "burn out".
My mother made a lot of beautiful things for my wedding, posted them on the Internet, after which there were several brides who asked me to do something similar for them.
Hand-made assumes the presence of certain skills, wild imagination and love for your work. If you have chosen one of these types of earnings, remember that it requires certain financial investments for the purchase of materials. Do not buy a lot of it, see if your small business bring income.
Work on the Internet
Do you believe that you can earn real money online? Now I will prove you otherwise. Millions of people earn daily without investments on the Internet, including mothers on maternity leave. Of course, there is a high probability of falling for scammers. But I will only talk about real proven methods of making money.
Copywriting (writing articles to order)
Everyone in school wrote essays or essays. Some have done better, some worse. Despite this, any mother can try.
When you go to any site, you see printed information. And after all these texts someone writes. It is unlikely that this is the owner of the resource itself. Most likely, he used the services of a copywriter, who was well paid.
There are specialized sites (exchanges) that help customers find contractors and vice versa. To get started, you need to register on such an exchange and view job offers.
In the first months, you will not receive exorbitant fees. At this time, you develop a reputation for yourself and improve your professionalism. With each article written, you can raise the cost of your services.
Don't be afraid that you won't succeed. Perhaps the potential of a great writer is hidden in you, but you don’t know about it.
On this moment I make money by writing articles. I discovered my abilities by accident. I just read about such work, registered on the exchange, took an easy order and completed it. My first customer was satisfied and this inspired me. To be honest, at school I didn’t know how to write essays, and my mother wrote essays for me.
I don’t know where I later learned this, but now it’s enough, and my mother, when she also tried (on my advice), but abandoned this venture after the second order.
Reviews
Absolutely all mothers use mass when caring for a child. cosmetics, hygiene products, etc. If you post your impressions about products, any hygiene products or equipment on certain sites, then you will be paid money for this.
There are several resources that pay money for leaving reviews. Moreover, you can describe not only food or hygiene products, but also share your impression of shopping malls, shops, exhibitions, etc. For example, every mother has something to tell about the hospital where her baby was born, about which diapers are best, or describe the advantages and disadvantages of your stroller.
Do not expect millions in earnings, but cosmetics should be enough.
I worked on the Otzovik website. For a review there they pay from a few kopecks to 10 rubles. In addition to the text, you must attach a photo (but this is optional). The more useful information you post and the more photos you attach, the higher the price per review. I have not received more than 6 rubles for a review.
Earning on sales
Most purchases modern people carried out using the Internet. Someone buys lots of clothes, and then sells them, and someone acts as an intermediary. There are several ways to sell and each of them has its own characteristics.
Joint purchases
On sites joint purchases orders are being collected for the size of some thing (all sizes one at a time, for example, room slippers from 36 to 41 sizes). When there are those who wish for the entire batch, the goods are purchased on the wholesale site and sent to customers.
If you are an administrator, then it is you who will have to find people, collect money from them, place and receive orders, and send them to customers. For this, you can receive 10-15% of each item sold.
But remember that this is quite a difficult job. You will often need to go to the post office to receive / send orders.
I tried to become a JV administrator, but after I saw the amount of work, I gave up this venture.
Dropshipping
There are people who sell products, while they do not even see it in the eye. This is the so-called mediation or. The scheme is simple. or a group in social network, where you advertise the products of a wholesale supplier. At the same time, set the price of the product higher (the difference will be your earnings). If people are interested in some thing, they order it to you and pay in full. After that, you place an order with the supplier and ask that the order be sent immediately to the client.
This business is built on the trust of all parties. Often people are afraid to make an advance payment and bypass such sites.
I spent several months creating and filling albums with goods (specialized in women's clothing), looking for buyers. I made a small margin to gain the trust of customers. To be honest, I have earned a maximum of 500 rubles for all the time. All due to the fact that many are afraid to pay for the purchase without seeing the goods.
Polls
If you do not have any abilities, and you do not know what to do, you can try to make money on surveys. There are many sites that offer to answer certain tests, for which they promise to pay well.
All you have to do is register and wait for the task to be given to you. The disadvantage of such earnings is its irregularity. Even if you really need the money, you won't get anything until you've been surveyed.
I registered on 5 sites. And the first survey was sent to me only after 2 weeks. At that time, I had already found an alternative way to earn money, so I never took part in any survey. They are sent to me by email. mail so far.
Surfing
There are sites on the network that offer money for the fact that you will go to certain sites, follow links. This type of income is called surfing.
Before starting work, you should understand that a simple job will not bring a lot of income, and it can take a lot of time.
Own blog or website
In order to get the maximum income on the network, you need a website. It will have to be constantly updated, filled with useful and necessary information. It can be a resource where mothers will share their experience in raising children, ask each other questions, consult, etc.

How not to fall for scammers
In any job there is a risk of being deceived. But those who decide to make money using the Internet need to be more careful. It is in the network that the maximum number of scammers is collected.
In order not to become their victim, adhere to the following rules:
- Never, under any circumstances, pay anyone. Swindlers are very inventive, and their proposals do not seem unrealistic. For example, you decide by retyping handwritten materials. You may be asked to contribute a certain amount in order for you to gain access to their tasks. I once fell for such a scam, though I laid out only 100 rubles. After payment no one contacted me;
- Under no circumstances send copies of your documents;
- Don't take" business proposals that are linked to your bank accounts;
- Do not see grandiose projects where they promise quick and big returns (money pyramids);
- Be careful with . At first they will tell you that no investments are required from you, and then it turns out that in order to receive a salary, you need to buy or distribute products worth several thousand rubles;
- Turn down offers where you are offered to grow flowers or mushrooms using high-efficiency hydroponics.
In order not to feel like a driven horse and have time for everything, follow these recommendations:
- Plan your day. Determine the time intervals when you will work;
- Work out a convenient schedule for yourself;
- Tune in to the working mood in advance;
- Keep a sleep schedule;
- Don't blame your family and friends for your fatigue. Nobody forced you to work;
- Distribute household chores among all family members;
- Ask grandparents to babysit more often.
All the advantages and disadvantages of working at home for mothers on maternity leave
Pros:
- You plan the day yourself;
- You do not have a strict boss (not counting the baby);
- You do not need to adapt to the team;
- You do not spend money on travel, lunches in cafes, etc.;
- Get financial independence;
- Develop, learn, improve as a person.
Minuses:
Conclusion
For some people, working on maternity leave is unacceptable. Personally, I believe that this is a period when a woman should not cease to be part of society. IN modern world There are plenty of activities that even the busiest moms can do.
Nevertheless, work should not distract you from the most important thing - the child! If you still decide to start earning money, then learn how to combine work, childcare and caring for your husband. If you succeed, then you will be a beautiful, happy and wealthy mom!
“I just can’t get a job - they don’t take it, because there is a small child,” young mothers complain on various Internet forums and among friends. Indeed, not all employers are ready to show loyalty to an employee who has a child. But are the prospects for women with children so bleak?
The labor market is on the side of motherhood
First you need to part with the myth that, having a small child, it is very difficult to find a job. According to the study site, only 6% of employers avoid hiring women who are married and have children. It is much more difficult for married ladies without children - 16% of Russian employers are not happy with them, believing that it will not take even six months for a woman to think about replenishing her family. So arm yourself with optimism and be patient - your situation is not as sad as it is commonly believed.
fateful choice
First of all, it is worth deciding what you are ready for in order to conquer career heights? It's no secret that for professional growth in a reputable company, it is not enough to work eight hours a day. Willingness to be in touch non-working time, processing, and possibly business trips - this is what employers expect from specialists who apply for career growth and high income. And although the Labor Code is definitely on your side, it is worth weighing all the pros and cons before plunging headlong into building a career. It is possible that the feeling of guilt in front of a child left to grandmothers and nannies will be stronger than job satisfaction and high wages. However, there are many positive examples when an organized mother manages to go to the office and to kindergarten.
Option one: full-time office work
Be that as it may, it is not necessary to look for a job with the possibility of a quick career development. Getting a job in a reliable company in your specialty is also worth a lot. Having decided who will take care of the child in your absence - husband, grandmother, nanny or kindergarten, start looking for work.
To get started, refresh your knowledge in the specialty. Most likely, they are somewhat outdated while you were taking care of the family. When looking through vacancy announcements, pay attention to the new requirements for specialists in your profile. You should have a clear idea of what has changed in your field. Read specialized literature, communicate in professional communities on the Internet. Refresh your knowledge if necessary foreign languages.
When compiling a resume, in the “Marital Status” column, indicate that there is someone to look after the child besides you. This information will put you on the same level as other job applicants.
It is important to emphasize two points in the interview. Firstly, despite the forced break in work, you remained a professional - you read specialized periodicals, completed advanced training courses, communicated with former colleagues etc. Secondly, you have reliable assistants in raising your child and you will not have to take sick leave often.
Reduce travel time
You can save two to three hours a day by getting a job close to home. Today, many companies, for financial reasons, prefer to rent an office not in the city center, but in residential areas. Find out which organizations are located in your area and consider employment opportunities with them.
Be sure to indicate your area of residence in your resume: a candidate living near the office will be considered as potentially more loyal to the company. Emphasize this in the interview as well to give you an edge over other applicants.
Option two: work from home
If the constant separation from the child is not for you, you should go the other way, that is, work at home. Remote work (a specialist is on the staff of the company, but works from home), work with a flexible schedule, as well as freelancing are good employment options for young mothers. The benefits of these types of employment have been appreciated by many web designers, journalists, programmers and other employees whose constant presence in the office is not necessary. True, there are also disadvantages of such work - a lower probability of career growth, a lack of professional communication, and in the case of freelancing, also the instability of earnings.
In Runet, there are many sites for finding freelance and temporary work. Keep in touch with former colleagues, perhaps they will tell you where there is a need to perform one-time work on your profile. Do not forget about the legal side of the issue: the volume and timing of one-time work must be fixed in the contract (contract or service), as well as wages.
Option three: government agency
Organizations where overtime is not the norm still exist. These are government institutions. For example, many young mothers get a job in a kindergarten attended by their children.
At the interview, when answering the question of why you want to get this job, emphasize your professional interest in the vacancy and frankly say that working twelve hours a day is not for you now, but at the same time you are an organized person and manage to cope with professional tasks within the regulated working hours.
Most likely, the salary in a state institution will be lower than the average for the market, but you can leave such work at 5-6 pm, and they will treat periodic sick leave there more calmly.
A little about rights
But no matter what form of work a young mother chooses, you need to know that Russian legislation contains many rules designed to protect her interests. Yes, Article 64 Labor Code The Russian Federation prohibits refusing to conclude employment contract women for reasons related to having children. If this happened to you, you have the right to demand an official written refusal from the employer and appeal it in court.
Working mothers are entitled to half-hour breaks every three hours to feed a child up to a year and a half (Article 258). At the request of the woman, the feeding time can be summarized and transferred to the beginning or end of the working day or attached to the lunch break.
According to Article 259 of the Labor Code, send on business trips, involve overtime work, weekend work and holidays, as well as at night a woman who has a child before three years only with her written consent.

So, we have reviewed the most relevant vacancies for mothers on maternity leave, and now we can give helpful tips, which will allow you to earn more and enjoy your favorite business, while always being with your baby next to you.
Often, scammers catch naive applicants by offering to pay for employment or materials for work. Do not under any circumstances agree to this. labor law expressly indicates that this is a violation of your rights.
Tip #2: Be careful with network marketing
Do not cooperate with dubious MLM. Some network companies are even considered destructive sects that officially sell the same cosmetics.
Working in such a pyramid, you run the risk of falling under a negative influence, and such work will certainly not bring money.
It makes sense to work only with proven and large network marketing companies!
Tip #3: Don't rush to the first job offer you see
Always think over your every step and do not rush to plunge headlong into any job offered, because scammers are on the alert. Be sure to search for information about the organization on the network by entering its name or postal address into the search bar of the browser.
If you decide to make money with handmade products, then carefully study the preferences of customers. It's one thing to sell single-color soap bars self made, and the other is to include coffee beans, flower petals and come up with unusual packaging.
Always turn on your imagination. Thinking of selling knitwear? Then why not make a fancy wool coat or baby carrier instead of a standard sweater? You must surprise the client, attract with your offers.
Be careful, because under the guise of a regular high-paying job (both online and offline) deception!
These unfortunate scammers offer very high pay for simple job on the Internet in order to lure more "victims". As it turns out later, in order to start work, you must definitely pay a certain amount, for example, the so-called insurance fee (about 300-800 rubles).
Such scammers will do their best to convince you to pay this “small” fee, which, as they will claim, you will easily and completely “pay back” on the first day of work.
As you understand, after payment from such "employers" there is neither a rumor nor a spirit!
Also, do not believe in various "super profitable" schemes, strategies and programs that allow you to quickly earn money (for example, beating online casinos or guessing the lottery).
I want to tell you about a real case of fraud, which was told to us by one of the readers of our magazine.
The real scam story!
Olga came across the site freeworkl.ru, where they offer remote work sorting and correcting documents. It would seem nothing unusual - work like work!For example, for a simple sorting of documents, the site promises to pay about 850 rubles. Not bad!🙂
And for the usual filling of price lists from a ready-made source - they promise 600 rubles ! In addition, they promise instant payouts at your first request. Not a job, just a dream!
As a result, Olga thought that she had found exactly the job that she had been looking for for so long, and even with a very high pay.
After registering on the site, it turned out that in order to access tasks, you need to buy a subscription for a month for a "symbolic" fee in 240 rubles💰 .
Deciding that the completion of even one task would more than pay off all the investments, Olga paid for a subscription, but the tasks were still unavailable for some reason.
She wrote to technical support, where they kindly explained to her that at the moment a monthly subscription is not available and you need to pay for a subscription. for 3 months for 610 rubles !
Olga did not agree and decided to return her 240 rubles, but as it turned out, it was easy to return them impossible- the system does not process the refund, and technical support “suddenly” disappeared and does not answer any questions!
Therefore, be suspicious of sites and people who promise you unique and "incredibly" profitable and tempting terms of cooperation!
Be vigilant and attentive, and do not take the word of people you do not know (and don't send money❗️).

Not all Moscow employers are loyal to female applicants with small children. But you can still find vacancies for mothers in the capital of the Russian Federation. To do this, you must choose one of two options: work in the office or at home.
Where can I find a suitable job?
If you are interested in working for moms in Moscow, visit this portal regularly and study the vacancies published by employers. Placing a resume on the site will help you speed up employment. Be sure to indicate in it that you are raising a small child - you should not try to deceive employers. But the main focus is not on this, but on your work experience and useful skills.
Employment in the office
A woman with a child can find office work in Moscow, but for this she needs to think about who will take care of the baby in her absence. You can ask your grandmother, sister, nanny, etc. to look after the child.
Office work for moms involves a busy work schedule, and therefore you must show the employer that you are ready to work actively for the benefit of the company, and not constantly take time off. During the interview, emphasize that, despite the break in work associated with the birth of a baby, you have not lost your professional skills and love to learn something new.
Work at home
Studying vacancies for mothers in Moscow, many women seek to find home-based work, since a long separation from their children does not suit them. You can work from home:
- journalists;
- designers;
- programmers;
- writers;
- photographers and people of other creative specialties.
Home work for mothers in Moscow does not imply active career growth, but allows women to earn money and pay the necessary attention to children.
Writing term papers and dissertations
If you are a recent graduate or just remember the university program well, then you can work from home as a student paper writer. You will need to write essays, term papers, and control papers to order.
Vacancies in state institutions
On our site you can find vacancies for mothers in Moscow opened by government agencies. Such offers appear infrequently, and therefore it is important for you not to miss the moment.
The salary in Moscow state institutions is slightly lower than the average market, but while working there, you do not have to worry about sick leave and vacations. It is also important that state institutions adhere to a clear work schedule. This means that you will work from 9 am to 6 pm and will be able to go on a lunch break for 1 hour.
Should be remembered
Mom should take up work only if she is full of energy and has time to get bored while sitting at home with her baby. But there is no point in getting a job if you feel overwhelmed all the time or don’t know who you can trust with a child when you are in the office.
When you get a job, remember that it was your choice. Do not blame loved ones for the fact that you have to combine raising a baby with hard work.
