Background

The WAHM website is designed and managed by Leah Gibbs. I am based in the Lower Blue Mountains in Sydney, Australia. The WAHM’s job link and resource website was established on the 1st August 2007.

I am a first time 42yo mother who wants to spend lots of quality time with my beautiful 2 year old  Keely Grace who is growing up ever so quickly. She is so gorgeous, cute and oh so naughty……. I just adore and love her so much it hurts.  I did not want to miss out on special moments, her first steps and her first words. I want her to be close by me and I want to know that she is safe and secure.I share my life with my dear partner David, part time step daughter Sally, a crazy Bengal Cat called Mia and also have two older step teens Jessica and Daniel who reside in my gorgeous hometown of Newcastle. Yes, I am a Novocastrian and I am extremely proud of it. I miss Newcastle, my family and my friends terribly at times and look forward to the day we can relocate back home.

Whilst on maternity leave, I really needed to earn some money to help my partner pay the bills and run the household. We started to struggle financially and my credit card bills were maxxed out.  I soon realised that for the first time in my life I had no money in the bank to sustain my champagne lifestyle, Shock Horror....... to live on a beer budget, I had to do something...FAST.!!! I wanted and needed a job that I could work from home that would fit in around my family committments.

I began researching different types of work from home options while on maternity leave from my full time job to seek a complete career change. There was no way in the world I wanted to go back to normal full time work outside the home. My whole work perspective on life changed once I had a baby.  I quickly discovered that it is a minefield out there. There are so many scams, rip of merchants and money launderers that just want to take your money and run with false promises advertising get rich quick schemes to vunerable mums.

Things I love about working from home.....I am totally stree free. I have time to play with my daughter in the mornings and to read books with her, we can have a relaxed breakfast together, we can go for a walk to the shops or the park, I can do a load of washing and clean the house, and I still have time to kill before starting work at 9am. At K's age at the moment it has been hard to juggle working a very demanding job and having her at home with me while I tried to work which was impossible so she goes to family day care (in my street, 4 houses up the road) part time and nanna comes to the house and helps me at other times. It is a perfect scenario which works really well for us as a family for the time being until such times she is older and I will cut back on day care hours.

My hopes and long term goal is to help other mums connect with family friendly employers that offer flexible work conditions and a work life balance. The feedback from mums I get from time to time I have been told that this website does just that which makes me want to build a better website for you and to continually improve the services I provide.

I want to help make a difference to other people lives, empowering mothers to Dream, Believe, Act  & Achieve by providing them with information, tools and resources to assit them make their business dreams a reality.

So here it is a website that is totally dedicated to buisness opportuniies and employment that can be worked from home. I hope to bring candidates a selection of relevant positions and links from other websites from as many sources as possible for genuine work from home and business opportunities.

Love, Sunshine & Happiness
