If you will consult a dictionary, stay-at-home mom means someone who stays home to raise children and mange her household and usually unemployed while work-at-home mom means a woman who is capable of taking care of children, home, husband and a job. She understand that living in today's world is difficult without two incomes, inspire to work and find ways to fulfill her dream even at home but also knows that her children are the number one priority and they need her to be available 24/7. She is resourceful, doing everything she can to make ends meet while entertaining the children, cleaning the house, paying the bills, attending school activities, helping kids to know the Creator, overseeing homework, cooking while holding on desperately to her social life and making her husband happy.

I always dreamed of being a stay-at-home mom, After I gave birth to my second baby, my husband and I decided that I should quit my job and just focus on taking care of our two children. My husband is an overseas worker, he will provide all of our means. At first, I am excited to be in our house and just focus on taking care of them. That means that no need for me to stand and wait for long lines in the MRT and bus stations every weekend to be with them in the province. But being a stay-at-home mom is not easy. You have to attend all of the house chores while taking care of your children, not to mention the quarrels and cries, attending school programs, helping in their assignments and making sure that you are teaching values for their morality. You do not have your "Me" time. Always be in the comfort of your home, and it also means that you will just say goodbye to your career.

Now that my children are in their mid grades in school, my husband encouraged me to pursue my career. At first, I am targeting to work again in the city but God answers my prayers, I saw a post on social media about an academy that are helping Filipinos to find jobs at the comfort of your home doing Virtual Assistance to business owners around the world . So, I enrolled and this helps me know the skills on how to became a Virtual Assistant and rock the freelancing world This made me become a work-at-home mom from being just a stay-at-home mom. What's the difference? Being a work-at-home mom can both work for your career, help business owners and still take care of children at the comfort of your home. It's self fulfilling!
If you are one who wants to pursue your dreams and want to become a Virtual Assistant like me and still want to be a hands on mom to your children at the same time, try to enroll in Filipino Virtual Assistance. They will surely know how you will become a Work-at-home Virtual Assistant mom from being a stay-at-home mom.
