Hire My Mum 'is' the invention of necessity.

For me, frustration this time was the mother of invention. After closing a retail business due to the pressures of trying to balance work and raising a young family, I scoured the local papers for a more practical source of income that could be done from home, while looking after 6yr old and 15mth old boys. I thought I couldn't be the only mum wanting to stay with her kids but still assist financially for the family.

I knew there had to be employers and business owners that would let me use my years of experience in marketing, database management and project management to complete jobs they couldn't afford a full time employee to do.

After a frustrating search, everything I found seemed to be just a scam. Determined to do something about it, I founded 'Hire My Mum' to assist myself, and others like me, who wanted to stay at home with their kids but still contribute to the household income.

It's a fact that everyday, working women leave work to have babies. People from all walks of life are affected, teachers, receptionists, sales people, secretaries - and in the process, dozens of businesses lose skilled workers. There's obviously a need to fill that gap.

The idea of a service that connects mothers, with a variety of business skills and experience between them, with business owners requiring contractors or employees to work on full time, part time and one off projects was not necessarily unique but not adequately supported. This opened a huge gap in the employment market place just waiting for an entrepreneur or a 'mumpreneur', with the right idea.
