Homeschooling & Earning An Income
I have looked for opportunities to supplement our income that allows me to work from home, be with my kids, have flexible hours, and not interfere with our homeschooling schedule. I finally found something that fits all of my criteria.
VIPKID has blessed our family, and so I just want to share the opportunity with you in case it is the vehicle that helps you go on that elusive vacation, helps you reach those financial goals, or even provides a way for you to start homeschooling your kids.

Before You Turn On A Screen…
Dear Homeschooler, Ahhhhhh, summer!
