I work full time for a Insurance and Financial Planning company. I am the Manager of Group Benefits.....so big, medium and small size companies come to us and we set them up with group benefits for their employees. I look after the marketing, new business, management and administration of all the companies.

I love my job and my boss!! I am continuing to work from home shortly after LO comes as I know I will miss my work.

I'm going into my final year studying media and communications at uni.


- Not doing anything else at the moment, usually I'd get a part time job over the summer but thought not cos of LO this year - I feel really lazy compared to you guys!

 

[bex]

I work in an infant school.

I work as a teaching assistant in one of the reception classes every morning and then i teach different year groups in the afternoon while the teacher has planning time.

I do enjoy my job and work with some great people. Everyone thinks working in a school is easy, but its really hard work and is mentally draining. Can't see myself ever doing anything else though.

 

[Lu28]

I'm a legal recruitment consultant at the moment and still not sure of what I really want to do! I was a family solicitor until recently and left to move back home and because of the amount of stress and general nastiness of the whole thing - but now I miss the buzz and the mental challenge! Can't keep me happy but now isn't exactly the time to go looking for another job!!

[Dragonfly]

In all honestly I do nothing. I have many hobbies I also have a back and neck injury from a motorbike accident that prevents me from working. but thats on the mend hopefully 3 years later.

 

[jms895]

[Dee_H]

I work with Public Health Services as an Enhanced Community Home Visitor with the Healthy Beginnings Program. I work with new moms and their babies. I do such things as growth and development monitoring and activities, basic care stuff ( when to start solids, how to soothe your baby, learning baby cues etc, etc) community awareness ( how to access food bank, how do get assistrance, where are their mom/tot play groups) and pretty much any questions that parents have about their babies and support them the best I can. I work with all types of families, everyone from first time moms to high risk families. Everyday is different which I love. Sometimes it is very stressful but also rewarding. I worked in day care for years with special needs children as well as being a Director so my hope is while I'm on maternity, to take the year to get my own daycare going.

 

[jms895]

Dee_H you are pretty tuned in with the newborn and baby stuff then??
Just noticed... we are due the same time!" xx
