Arise Virtual Solutions Inc., the leading global provider of virtual business solutions, announced it has thousands of work-from-home opportunities available for stay-at-home mothers looking for flexible hours, a family work-life balance and the opportunity to earn money. With the current public debate swirling around the choice facing women to either work or stay at home to raise a family, a line has been drawn in the sand that seems to suggest an either/or position. Noticeably absent in this dialogue is the rapidly growing trend of Americans, particularly women with children, who are choosing to meld their personal and professional lives and work from home.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2005 Survey of Income and Program Participation, the most recent large scale look into how and where U.S. citizens work, the number of Americans working exclusively from home increased from 9.5 million in 1999 to about 11.3 million in 2005. And according to Arise Virtual Solutions, one of the world’s leading providers of virtual business solutions, this trend continues to grow and provides a viable and profitable option to working mothers.

“Stay-At-Home Moms represent our largest percentage of Independent Business Owners,” says John Meyer, CEO of Arise, which provides opportunities to more than 20,000 Americans to own their businesses and work from home as “virtual” service providers to Arise’s Fortune 500 clients. “The desire for work and life balance is important to everyone but perhaps no more so than to mothers. By providing an opportunity that allows women to both work and spend time with their children, a new paradigm is being created that provides both economic and personal advantages.”

Some key benefits to working from home for mothers is greater flexibility to work at a convenient time of the day, the reduction of daycare services, the significant savings from ever-increasing gas costs and the lack of commute time. For Atlanta’s Vanetta Anderson, a former Public Relations professional and mother of three, these all played key roles in her deciding to start her own business and pursue a career working from home.

“The opportunity hasn’t only been profitable but it’s allowed me to create a work schedule where I can be actively involved in my children’s day-to-day lives,” she said. “I like having that kind of control over my life and feel it’s a great option for any working Mom looking to juggle all the responsibilities we face.”
