Stay At Home Dad
Current- Being a stay at home dad called on the use of multiple skills and I found myself continually learning new things and facing varying challenges.
- Organisation was crucial to our daily home routine in terms of juggling days at nursery, doctors’ appointments and day to day tasks.
- Time keeping was also important; my daughter’s nursery charged for late arrivals and late pickups. It was crucial to time my day to work complimentary to my wife’s working hours.
- As a parent multi- tasking is a key skill. As a stay at home dad I was responsible for my daughter’s every waking need, running and maintaining a home as well as reacting to any challenges that may have come my way on.
- I took and continue to have responsibility for our family finances. On an ad hoc basis I provide informal financial advice for friends and family due to my background in the financial sector; this gave and continues to.
- Due to my financial knowledge and administration skills I would also help a local sole trader in these areas.
