Work at Home Moms Stay the Course
From globeandmail.com:
Crystal Dallner, a work at home mom, maps out her working day carefully. Phone calls, meetings and e-mails can’t clash with mealtime, naptime, or playtime.
Ms. Dallner, 28, started her own marketing business a month after she gave birth to her first child Jacob. Now, she balances running Outright Communications out of her Edmonton home with being the primary caregiver to her one-and-a-half-year-old son.
While she loves being with Jacob all day, she struggles with her decision. “I think about going back to the corporate world all of the time. I think about what it would be like to have that corner office or to be able to brainstorm with other people.”
The ranks of work at home self-employed women are growing. According to Statistics Canada, the number has climbed 18 per cent to 876,600 last year, from 744,800 in 1996. That compares with 14 per cent growth for men. Women between the ages of 25 and 54 make up the bulk of the skirted self-employed.
In recent years, a minor industry has arisen around the need to provide moms — some of whom left high-rolling corporate careers to raise their bundles of joys — with the tools they need to kick-start and succeed as entrepreneurs.
