Since 2012, I have dedicated my time to being a stay-at-home mom, a role I embraced when faced with the challenges of my mother's terminal brain cancer diagnosis and caring for my 4-month-old baby, born with a kidney defect. I firmly believe that being a stay-at-home mom is a full-time job that requires meticulous planning, organisational skills, and the ability to navigate complex schedules. While I haven't been in a traditional workplace since 2012, I am confident that the valuable skills I've honed in running a household, managing finances, and coordinating various tasks are noteworthy.•Manage household budget, pay bills, and track expenses.•Keeping track of important dates, such as birthdays and anniversaries.•Managing household inventory and supplies.•Acting as a liaison between family members and external entities.•Creating and maintaining a family schedule, coordinating appointments, extracurricular activities, and social events and ensuring that everyone is where they need to be on time.•Overall household management.•Scheduling and coordinating healthcare appointments, monitoring family members' health and well-being.•Ensuring the safety and security of the home, implementing safety measures, and coordinating maintenance and repairs.•Staying informed about parenting techniques, household management tips, and relevant topics while seeking opportunities for personal and professional development.•Freelancing as a family law mediator for friends and acquaintances going through divorce.
