A Softer Place to Plan Your
Next Move
Pregnancy can change your energy, schedule, finances and plans for work.
This space was created to help expecting moms explore remote jobs, flexible
income ideas, workplace information and support resources without feeling
like everything has to be figured out today.
Start With What You Need Right Now
There is no one perfect work plan during pregnancy. Your priorities may
look completely different from someone else’s, and they may change along
the way.
I Need a Remote Job
Focus on positions that match your experience, hiring location,
schedule and income needs.
I Need Better Hours
Part-time, temporary, contract and flexible-hour positions may be
worth considering.
I Need Extra Money
Freelance services, project work or short-term remote opportunities
may offer another way to earn.
I Need Help With Expenses
Food, healthcare, childcare, utility and community assistance may be
available depending on eligibility.
A Small Reminder About Remote Work
A position can be completely work-from-home and still only hire people in
certain states, regions or countries.
Check the hiring location before spending your time and energy on a long application.
Remote Roles Worth Searching For
Instead of searching only for “work from home,” search for the type of
work you already know how to do.
