From SAHM to Working Mom: My Journey and Exciting News!

[heat123]

Well after 9 years of being a SAHM, my two dds both entered school this year and my husband wanted me to find a part time job. So I started searching at the beginning of the year.

As soon as the girls started school, I found a job, and they hired me and I start next tuesday!

So excited, scared and sad at the same time. This job pertains to my college major of Recreation therapy so I am ecstatic about that.

My journey as a 100% SAHM is now over but this job will allow me to work during my kids school hours so I am very fortunate and thankful!

I don't know what this means for my PC career, as I have been barely active since 2009 but I do have 3 parties for Sept and Oct and Nov at least. IT's been a GREAT 5 years with PC. I hope to stay active with 1 party every other month at the least.

Thanks for letting me share the Exciting News!

Thank you! I am soo excited and the best part.. one of the things I get to do is teach "meal planning". So PC recipes can ACTUALLY be used in this new job!

Sure rub it in! No, really, I am happy for you. This really sounds like something you will be able to master. And no one said you can't use PC recipes! It's Good For You has easy and yummy recipes! What is even better is that our recipes have the nutritional info so making those choices is easy too! Good luck and Congrats!

I was very Lucky to have found one that could work with my 830-130 availablity and I said evenings were possible after my husband got home but no weekends I requested . So This sounds like the Perfect job for me, working with disabled clients teaching them life management skills (including cooking and meal prep)

thanks for the well wishes

Did you start today? How did it go?

Kinda of... I filled out new hire paperwork, got my DMV record pulled and finger prints scanned. I still have to renew my CPR/ 1st Aid card and take some online training courses. But tomorrow I get to start observation training. So excited! Thanks for asking!

 

[pampered1224]

Cool! I am so happy to hear that!

 

[heat123]

Yeay! My first day of training went well! It's going to be very interesting working with clients with such different personalities and disabilities! I like it soo far.
