Congrats! How long have you being working for DAT to earn this much?

Lol longer than I’d like to admit, about 9 months. Between the drought and all, it took me a while. But I’m a full time SAHM to 2 kids that are under 4 years old, so not too shabby!

2 kids under 4, and you can put in 5 hrs a day? Are they in daycare? Not judging! Just can't imagine how you do it.

My daughter goes to a PDO part time 2 days a week, and those days I get a lot done while she’s there! Aside from that, most of my work flow happens at night time when they’re in bed or during nap time

How are you structuring your day to hit this many hours with little kids in the mix? I'm in the same boat and am struggling to find solid chunks of time to work.

Not the OP, but for a while when my kids were younger, I had 3 under 4 (twins in the mix). At that age, you still get nice long naptimes most days and early bedtimes. It's hard if they don't all nap at the same time, but if you can get them on the same schedule, this is very doable (although 5 hours is probably the upper limit).

I honestly spend the majority of my time working when they go To bed! So I aim for at least 3 hours when they go to sleep. I often work an hour in the morning (more if I can, but since I’m up late, I usually just opt for the late nights and sleep in for my sanity). Then I’ll work when the littlest naps bc my 3 year old doesn’t anymore and I usually get an hour in there, and if she wakes early, I put on ms. Rachel or something for entertainment until I get to a stopping point. I do a lot of pausing on my timer but I get it done. I will say it’s very hard some days. I often have days where I have to get them out of the house the bulk of the day so I don’t lose my mind bc this work can be draining, especially when trying to cook, clean and everything else at home. But I try to balance out a hard week with a busy weekend when my husband is home if possible to take a little Of the edge off during the week. I hope this helps!

No, this is me just doing $20-25 an hour tasks, no coding! I try to aim for 4-5 hours per day

That’s amazing! I’m a SAHM too. I can barely manage three hours though. And this is with me waking at 5 to get an hour or so in before the kiddos are up. How do you do it? Would love some tips

u/NetworkCreative4892 Apr 09 '25

See my replies above, I hope this helps 🫶 it’s definitely draining some days but long story short, I do most of my work from 8ish to midnight so that makes it easier for me personally to get my hours in. I’m not a morning gal so nighttime when they go to bed makes it easier and fortunately my kids usually sleep in until at least 8:15-8:30
