In Feb 2017, I ended my career in Eldercare and became a full time stay-at-home-mom (SAHM). I took some time to adjust to the changes and to manage my expectations. It was certainly one of the hardest transition I ever faced. While doing so, I constantly thought about returning to work, yet feeling guilty that I felt this way. The pressure that a SAHM faces is complex, the work immensely demanding, challenging and often unappreciated. There were good and bad days. Some days I felt as though I was on the losing end of the battle. Some days I love the simple joys of being with my child.
Just a couple of months back, an unusual work opportunity came along. It was God-sent! I am now a freelance writer for a magazine! The work involves writing about family friendly activities and places in Singapore. The job scope is perfect for me at this phase of my life. Working from home gave me the balance that I craved - caring for my child while enjoying paid employment at the same time. I'm grateful for this opportunity. It is more than I could ask for. With this arrangement, I get to spend time with my little boy, witness his growing milestones and earn my keep!
These are some places we visited together since I took up this role.
