Work-from-home-moms (WAHM) / moms with home-based jobs thread

[janachen]

Bale 2 and half year old sis.. Mag 3 years old na. Ang hirap kasi takaw attention. Kasi wala naman akong maasahan kundi sarili ko lang. If you remember that I shared my story before na wala na akong parents,  tapos 'yong partner ko dati wala din.  Pero kinakaya naman dahil kailangan talaga. Matagal na akong nagpapahanap ng yaya kaso wala talaga.

^^ahh sis yes i remember. Grabe, ang galing mo! God bless you sis!

Mommies, specially for those who are ebf/unlilatching, yayaless... ilang months si lo when you actually wfh? I have a 7-month old daughter, hindi pa din nagssleep through the night, feed and latches minsan every hour, minsan less pa nga...
Tinanggap ko na na pang wfh jobs muna ko, cos ayaw ni hubby na magwork ako at iwan ko si baby plus ang hirap humanap ng yayay. huhu... gusto ko na magwork. 😞

Sis are you working from home na? Almost same age baby natin, my daughter is 9 months now, and same with you, exclusively breastfed, yayaless, doesn't sleep through the night yet. Gusto ko na din magwork ulit. I can't go back to teaching online kasi fixed yung hours nya, syempre sa set up namin ni baby flexi time mas preferred ko.

Hi! I'm actually not pregnant yet but I'm considering transitioning to being a WAHM once I am or after I give birth. Thing is, I have a pretty good job right now that while super stressful, pays well. I save a lot of expenses because it also takes care of my gas, gives me a car, etc. I'm afraid I wont be able to find a work from home job that will compensate me the same way. I really have not heard much apart from freelancing, but are there full-time online jobs/ work from home jobs that pay significantly? I dont think I can earn half my current with freelancing.. i want to scope out my options soon since we plan to get pregnant this year or next. TIA!

Hi sis! It depends on the client eh. Marami kasi they only have project-based jobs. Per project ang pay not per hour. Some naman per hour. And some clients, like yung current employer ko ngayon, he's compensating me with a fixed amount per month and pays me bi-weekly. Fixed sya regardless may araw na di ka makakapagreport to work due to some circumstances like loss of power, no internet connection, emergencies, etc.

Iba-iba lang talaga sis. Tyagaan lang pag nag apply for you to find the right employer for you. May sineswerte meron naman nahihirapan makahanap. But once you find the right client, super okay ang work from home. Mas malki ang income ko compare sa dati nung pumapasok pa ko sa BPO.

^^sparklingjewel, some people prefer freelancing kasi they can work with many employers at a time, so in a way meron talagang mas malaki kumita with freelance jobs. But there are full time positions na available, although di rin naman ganon kataas ang salary. From what I've seen recently, siguro average of 400-500 USD per month, syempre depende din yan sa type ng job. Mostly yan wala pang benefits like SSS, philhealth, etc.

I haven't been working from home for long, I did wfh when I was pregnant, few months lang and part time lang. Then just last week, I got hired by a client. My monthly rate is half of what I used to earn from my previous work, with bonuses if you accomplish more in a day. Reasonable na din considering the type of work I do, more on web content writing.

[Ms. Pink1988]

Pa-out of topic lang ng konti mga sis. Di ko kasi alam san ko pwede itanong.

To all wfh sissies, nakapag apply na ba kayo ng credit card as a home-based employee? May banks ba na tatanggap ng requirements from wfh employees like us? Or wala tayo chance ma-approve dahil wala dito sa pinas ang office address natin and hindi taxable(wala tayong ITR) yung income natin. Hoping to hear from you sissies!

[simang]

^sa pagkaalala ko sis billing statement lang kelangan sa cc application, no ITR. Check mo na lang sa site ng bank, for sure meron dun list ng requirements. Di po magmamatter kung wfh or not

[Pinklet]

Hi. I have just registered sa Upwork. I have a full time job and I am just looking for an extra cash para makaipon. Sana makahanap din ako ng work sa upwork on my free time.

[Ms. Pink1988]

^sa pagkaalala ko sis billing statement lang kelangan sa cc application, no ITR. Check mo na lang sa site ng bank, for sure meron dun list ng requirements. Di po magmamatter kung wfh or not

Okay sis salamat! worry ko kasi na malakas ang decline factor kapag nakita nila na us based ang work ko. Pero other banks like PNB and citibank nagrerequire sila ng ITR eh. pero anyway, thank you sissy!

[khaleesiCersei]

^^sa cc naman sis di ba pag may bank account ka, some banks they send you pre approved cc. Ganyan sakin and sa sis ko, pinadalhan na lang kami ng cc ng bank. Pareho kaming work from home

[Ms. Pink1988]

^^sa cc naman sis di ba pag may bank account ka, some banks they send you pre approved cc. Ganyan sakin and sa sis ko, pinadalhan na lang kami ng cc ng bank. Pareho kaming work from home

Anong bank yan sis? Kasi may ibang banks na matagal din magsend ng pre approved cc eh

[simang]

yes if may account ka sa bank usually they would send you preapproved cc, saken BPI lang credit card ko. Preapproved yun sinend saken

[khaleesiCersei]

Bdo sakin sis. Siguro pag medyo malaki laman mabilis magsend nn pre approved cc

[izabelle]

Nagbibigay ang banks ng pre approved cc basta may account ka sa kanila.

BPI, RCBC and BDO sent me pre approved credit cards kahit hindi ako nag apply. Yung RCBC ko non payroll account lang not really savings account.

[andy2014]

kami ni hubby work from home since 2009 (separate homes) even before we got married in 2014. Nag register kami sa BIR as self employed nung year 2012 - kasi otherwise hindi kami makapag loan sa bahay, sa car or CC if walang ITR.  Common problems kasi ito ng mga kilala ko home based wala silang proof of income so hirap sa bank loans.  Sa awa ng Dyos approve naman sa bahay at sasakyan.

[simang]

^sis re: ITR, anong forms ang kelangan para makapag file? Nakadeclare kasi ako na dependent ng husband ko since i stopped working last year. Kakastart ko lang ulit magwork last week and gusto ko sana magfile ng ITR ko

[MoonshineLady]

hi mga mommies working from home! can u suggest po ng mga sites where to find online jobs aside sa upwork, onlinejobs.com? i tried several applications for data entry sa upwork pero walang kumuha sakin eh kakfrustrate lang 

[khaleesiCersei]

^hi sis try lang ng try sa upwork. You have 60 connects naman per month so submit lang ng submit hehe. Minsan matagal talaga, sometimes weeks or months bago ka makakuha ng reply sa mga inaplyan mo, lalo na pag newbie ka dun, if newbie ka sis try accepting muna yung mga beginners or lowest rate ($3) na jobs or yung mga short term projects pampadagdag sa working hours mo and para makahingi ka din ng good feedbacks sa clients.

Other websites are virtual coworkers. onlinejobs.ph, virtual staff finder. Fiverr. Meron din mga online job postings sa craigslist. Goodluck sis!
