Return to work - part time or freelance?

[Sweet Bliss]

I took a step out in faith a couple of years ago, and now work for myself as a Hairdresser. I rent a chair in a fabulous salon, and I work when and how long I want, so I often work a lot of evenings etc! I can also do mobile work with this if I want.
I can decide to take a day off when I want (as long as I plan ahead), and I can decide when I want to go on holidays etc.
It was the best thing that I have ever done as I can completely work it around the kids.
It was very scary at the beginning, but I have built up an excellent clientele now.
I am now able to make much more than a normal FULL weeks wage in just 2 days or less of work a week.
It also means that the amount that I am paying for childcare is minimal as I often work when DH is home, and the amount I do pay for creche barely makes a dent in my income for that day, it is kind of just one haircut, and it is paid, where as if I worked for someone else probably half my wage for the day would go on cc.
I also take a lot more pride in my work and really enjoy it. The kids are even able to come with me if I can't get a babysitter. I also can claim a lot of our utility expenses at home too as well as fuel and flexirent on my comp etc.
For a while I also did a part time job in a call centre as my security blanket, but now I don't need it.
I am so thankful to God for giving me such a great opportunity, and I am still proud of myself that I was able to "think outside the box" in regards to being able to bring an income in to our family, but also be a stay at home mum too.
Once you get your name out there jobs may start to flow for you anyway?? If you can combine the two for a little while, it may be a good way to start?
You can do it!! Good Luck!!
