Landing a work at home gig can seem like the perfect solution to all of your problems. If your kids were already in daycare then you should be all set. But what happens if you are going from fulltime care provider to working from home?

-    Consider nanny sharing
-    Join a childcare co-op
-    Hire a babysitter for a few hours per day. This can save you money while allowing you to have a few hours of interrupted work.
