I am a mother of three and I currently work a hybrid position in revenue cycle.
I do not think it is working for me as I am unhappy when I have to clock in and miss many important moments in my children's lives. I am trying to locate a fully remote position with unlimited PTO that does not involve having to be on the phone for majority of my shift. It seems like that is a very unlikely thing to find and I am needing some advice on how to locate or even maybe starting my own business.

Here’s my take: It’s not fluffy. It’s foundational.

I run a small operation that consists of a dozen employees who share a facility with one kitchen space.
I have a wonderful staff full of long time employees who do a great job, know their jobs well, don't need to be micromanaged, are empowered to make decisions and know when they really need to come to me. In a nutshell, I'm blessed. They make my job pretty easy.…

I have a friend who is a real estate agent and loves it. She has the flexibility to take vacation whenever she would like or step away for a few hours to go to her kids' school events. Hoewver, on the flip side she often meets with clients and answers messages on the weekends or evenings. She once had to step out of her anniversary dinner with her husband to take a client call when they were at a crucial point in accepting a buyers offer. Even though her job has "flexibility" her work hours are not confined to 9-5. If she doesn't close the deals, she doesn't get paid as she is on commission only. At least wtih a job that has a more structured shift and less flexiblity your time is yours outside of work hours.

Have you reached out to contract/temporary employment services in your area? They may have a client who is looking for your specific skill set.
However, you are asking a lot of any company. It is difficult being a mom and needing/wanting to work. Before having children, did you think about the choices you may have to make?
My parents were divorced. My mother was a tax auditor and worked long hours. During tax season, she worked six (6) days a week. My siblings and I all had chores to help out.
Do you have to work? Does your salary/income contribute to the overall household expenses? If you are in a two income family, you may want to talk about your feelings with your partner.
