You can make things at Home for a Company. I know because I saw this Lady in the Post Office mailing off all of her work. You know I should have asked her how to get a job with who she was with, but I didn't. I thought she might think that if I got a job with the same Company and we live in the same Neighborhood that it would take away from her work. Darn it, I should have asked anyway.
There is a lady at church who does her "online jobs" and I am pretty sure she does the same thing I do - she works on PTC sites. She is very vague and stutters around a lot when I question her. And she won't give me a straight answer. And I wondered if she thinks I will take earning opportunities away from her. And in reality it could. You have been DQ from something before and it says "we have enough people from your area".
Real WORK FROM HOME JOBS that are actually jobs are not easy to get. And they are not the gravy train people think. Taking surveys is not a JOB. It is just making some pocket change. I interviewed for a customer service job that after training would allow me to work from home. I would have set hours and set days to work. Just like a real job in an office. I had to clock in and out for start and quit times and for lunch break. And they can see when you are logged in and if you are working and taking calls.
And contrary to what random advice sites online tell you these places are not always hiring. They very rarely hire especially for the work from home positions. Once people get in to these positions they don't usually quit.
I looked into a job that is very legit with a well known company, that was a customer service job, back around early November. But the disclaimer you read plainly tells you that you will work nights, weekends and all the holidays. After reading that I was no longer interested.
The OP said they are a "caregiver" and if that is the case even a work from home job is not going to work because you have to be able to sit and work uninterrupted. I do not know of any job where you can piddle at it a little here and there.
As for "making things at home" for some company I would be interested in knowing what that is. Not because I want to do it but just because it has peaked my interest.
I was offered a job with a company a couple years ago where I was going to test websites but they wanted to put trackers on my laptop as well as my phone and also asked for access to the contents of my emails and my text messages. I declined and walked away at that point.
