In the current financial times, every little bit of extra money that comes in helps. So even homeschooling parents tend to work at least part of the time to bring in that financial boost. Here is how to ensure that the work you do does not interfere with homeschooling your kids.

Take your child along with you to your workplace
Some workplaces are fairly tolerant of working mothers and have day care facilities. If you are lucky enough to work in a place that allows, you can take your child to your workplace, finish for the day, and return home to start a homeschool class. It can get hectic and you will need a bit of help from your partner, but with some organization it can easily be done. You can give them assignments that they can do while they are at your work and then return to grade them later. Keep up a steady supply of learning activities that they can indulge in while you are at work.
Work shifts when your spouse is home
Working a shift when your spouse is at home is a good way to ensure that your children are looked after while you are out working. If your husband has a morning job you can leave for work in the evening. This will allow you to complete the children’s homeschooling in the morning before you set out for work. It would be less stressful than walking from the office day care to your desk all day and would still allow you to homeschool your children in peace.
Don’t step out, work from home
If you find that leaving the home and managing the children is becoming difficult, forget about stepping out physically from the home to work. Thanks to the internet there are any number of jobs that you can do sitting in the comfort of your home. With some jobs, all you need to do is check in physically in the office once a week and take up the next set of assignments. In some cases even these can be handled via email. This would be the ideal way to work and still manage to get your children a quality education in their homeschool classroom.
