That’s what I’m doing. I clean short term rentals and a small retail space. As long as the stuff is done within the timeframe, they don’t care when I get it done. So if I had a sick little kid, I can stay home all day, then go work once another adult is available to take over. My husband just had back surgery, so a couple days a week, I go work after lunch time so I can take him to physical therapy in the morning. When the teenagers want money, I can bring them with me and let them work to earn it. I bring the laundry home often so I can get that work done at home while I’m cooking dinner or helping with homework. I don’t make as much as I want yet, but it’s enough to feed and clothe us, buy school supplies and cleats and $20 school carnival wristbands, etc while my husband’s job pays the bills. It’s tough doing it this way, I feel like I NEVER have free time because it’s all planned around making everything work, but it does allow me to still be there for everyone, do every pickup and drop off and sports meeting/practice/game, and still have enough money to survive.
