After the incident several months after the birth of a child, many women, having settled down in the role of mother, want to find a part-time job for maternity leave: for extra income, training professional skills, or just to distract from everyday life.

4 reasons to find work on maternity leave

So, you have already established your own life with the baby, it is actively developing, growing and eating cheeks. Maybe it's time to think about a side job?

What benefits does work during maternity leave bring?

Creative self-realization. Does it inspire you to bake custom-made cakes, sew beautiful clothes, knit, draw pictures or do hairstyles? Congratulations, this is your option. Any creative efforts of a woman are beneficial not only in a practical, material sense, but also in a psychological one. The woman who is engaged in needlework is balanced, calm, her eyes are burning, and her head is busy coming up with a new design for a cake or pattern for a client.
Ability to chat with someone other than mummies in the yard. Communication with colleagues from the “understated” life and professionals in their field tones, serves as a breath of fresh air for a young mother who literally “suffocates” from endless conversations about mixtures and diapers.
Support and "pumping" of professional skills. This applies to intellectual workers - lawyers, accountants, teachers. The ability to run reports of small PIs for an accountant or take one or two students to tutor algebra will help you feel confident and professional after leaving the decree.
A sense of self-sufficiency. It is no secret that many women feel uncomfortable while on maternity leave because of the need to be fully on the maintenance of her husband. Work or a part-time job at this time will make it possible to feel more confident and not feel inconvenient, explaining to your spouse why these expensive boots or perfumes are needed.
