I’m Rachel and live with my husband and 2 young daughters. I’d say we are an outdoorsy family: at weekends we enjoy exploring new places, cycling, being in nature and Paddleboarding!
My working life changed for me when I became a mum! After my second daughter was born, I returned from maternity leave, teaching part time for another year. Whilst I loved my time in the classroom, I was away from my own girls and struggled like others to get the balance. I wanted to be the teacher I had been before but now I had 2 little girls and they were my focus, plus my husband is also a teacher! So I was given an opportunity and I left teaching after 11 years. It was a massive deal but it opened up my eyes to opportunities outside of the classroom and the flexibility of other jobs!
Whilst I was lucky to be working for a company which offered me flexible working and part time hours, I wanted to be able to offer my girls more opportunities which as we know (especially today) can often come at a cost!
This is when I stumbled across the online business model! I now am supporting other mums / parents to follow the same business model as me whilst being a present parent and being financially secure.
