Looking for a new gig? We've got 100 family-friendly jobs for you to consider when you head back to the grind. While it's rare that a job would meet all of our mom-positive requirements, the goal was to hit as many as possible.
We're highlighting jobs that don't have you scrambling for a babysitter on a regular basis and jobs that aren't more stressful than four months of 4 A.M. feedings. Big points for jobs that don't take you out on the road and jobs that don't have blatant pay discrimination (even though all jobs still don't pay equally for men and women). Finally, jobs that are meaningful could trump all of the above, because some people need a really, really, good reason to do something that takes time away from the kids.
You'll see that some of these "fun" jobs mainly meet the "low stress" criteria, which we think is massively important to your work-life balance.
Find your new career today, within these 100 best jobs for moms:
