Family Friendly Working


Inspiring ideas for making money when you have kids
Antonia Chitty

Publication date 18 February 2008


Every mum makes a tough decision about returning to work after having a baby. Having a second child can make the cost of childcare outweigh what you earn. And it's hard to combine being there for your schoolchildren with a full time job.

Mother and small business advisor Antonia Chitty has put together a guide for parents which is full of case studies and ideas for finding work that fits comfortably around having kids. She advises not only on starting a business, but also on working for someone else or freelancing, with lots of advice, pros and cons and contributions from other parents who have been there before. If you have had enough of trying to do too much in too little time, and feel torn between work and spending time with your children, this book will guide you through the options. Do you make something that might be saleable? Have you got a skill you could use to earn in the evenings or while the children are asleep? What courses might help you retrain AND still be there when the kids get home from school?

Whether you need to earn something just to boost the family budget or have ideas for a business that could support your family if only you knew how to get started, this is the book for you.

About White Ladder, Publisher of Family Friendly Working

White Ladder Press publishes practical lifestyle books with a broad appeal and a quirky angle. We launched our first title in 2003 and we publish 15 or so books a year, all of which we enjoy and believe in. By producing only a small number of titles we can give maximum attention to each one. We publish one title a year in conjunction with a charity, and donate all our profits from it to the charity concerned.

Our mission statement says: We want to teach old dogs new tricks, by presenting a new angle on everyday living. We want to intrigue, entertain and be useful at the same time. And we want to use our mainstream business to benefit good causes, so we'll do that too. We'll have fun or there's no point being in business, and we'll give fun to everyone else around us - our customers, our partners, our suppliers... even our postman. We're proud of being a small, independent publisher as it enables us to publish a select few high quality books which we really care about.
