Work at Home

A work at home parent is an entrepreneur
who works from home and integrates parenting
into his or her business activities.
They are sometimes referred as WAHM
(work at home mom) or WAHD (work at home dad).
Entrepreneurs choose to run businesses
from home for a variety of reasons,
including lower business expenses,
personal health limitations, eliminating
commuting or in order to have a more
flexible schedule. This flexibility can
give an entrepreneur more options when
planning tasks, business and non-business,
including parenting duties. While some
home-based entrepreneurs opt for childcare outside
the home, others integrate child rearing
into their work day and workspace.
The latter are considered work-at-home parents.
