Besides dealing with my sudden unemployment when my oldest child was a toddler, I was hoping to figure out a way to extend my time at home with him. I’m allergic to shellfish and can’t digest certain foods like apples.

My husband and I have four kids ranging from age 3-8, and I am a stay-at-home mom. Last year, to make a little extra cash, I started boarding dogs through Rover, and I am about to start a very very part time job using my RN license for a home care company. This especially was very important to my husband growing up.
