Updated on March 29, 2021

One of the greatest things about the modern world is just how endlessly adaptable it is in every way. This is particularly true when it comes to having a career and making money. Moms in the contemporary work world need not be tethered to a single location and a given series of hours just to earn a living. Today’s modern moms can roam the globe–from surf camps to ski resorts–and have fun. Now is the time to harness your talents and use them fully. You can take care of your family and see the world. All it takes is an understanding of how to get it all the ground and knowing what possibilities are out there. You’ll find plenty of jobs that you can do from your dream location. 

Copywriter

Copywriters write compelling sales and advertising content, ranging from website content to television commercials and stopping everywhere in between. This is where companies go when they’re looking for people who can reach out to their desired audience. If you’re really good with words, you don’t need an office to start a career as a copywriter. Line up clients by showing them what you can do. A good website is a must. Let this serve as your calling card where clients can reach out and find you. 

Public Relations 

Many digital nomads who work in public relations (PR) work for an agency remotely, although freelancing can be another option. Your job title might vary from Public Relations Coordinator to Digital Communications Specialist, and some of your duties might include developing media lists, executing social media campaigns, and writing marketing copy, media releases, pitch notes, pitch emails, and media reports. Many companies choose to specialize in a specific type of public relations, such as restaurant public relations and real estate PR. For moms with a background in healthcare, a healthcare PR agency might be a good fit. 

Digital Office Assistant 

Digital office assistants are those who work on a remote basis. Companies hire them to do all sorts of important work. For example, the assistant might prepare a newsletter for the company’s clients to let them know of brand new developments. Companies are looking for people who can be flexible with hours and help them as needed during busy periods, so a job as a digital office assistant could allow a mom to earn money while traveling the world. 

Accounting & Bookkeeping

Taxes are a fact of life. Companies and individuals all over the world need people who can help them with their taxes locally, nationally, and internationally. If you have a background in this field with a degree in accounting, you might enjoy remote seasonal work during tax and audit seasons. Perhaps the best way to break into remote accounting and bookkeeping work is to work for a small business or firm and slowly introduce telecommuting into your daily schedule until you become a full-time remote worker.

Travel Nursing 

Nursing is a profession in demand all over the globe. All sorts of places need nurses on staff to help with varied aspects of patient care. Hospitals need nurses to assist with patient care. Doctor’s offices need staffers who can do things such as take a patient’s vitals and keep accurate records. Nurses need not tie themselves to a specific location in order to earn a living. For example, they can work for a few weeks in California, take a break, and then make their way to the Rockies. Travel nursing agencies have openings for nurses in many parts of the U.S. and other countries. 

Teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) 

English as a second language is in massive demand. Companies that offer ESL services are looking for native speakers. You don’t need a degree to teach English, and you also don’t need to work in a given location. Teaching English is easy in the modern world. Moms can make use of methods like Skype that allow for direct communications even from a long distance. A savvy mom can offer all sorts of possible ESL services to her clients. She can help them do everything from intense standardized test preparation to practicing their casual conversation in a relaxed setting.
