How to afford time off with your baby

Becky Goddard-Hill is a mum and a homemaker
who lives in Nottingham with her husband
Jonny and her 2 little kids Frankie (5) and Annalise (2).
She is also (though rarely acknowledged as such) a cleaner,
cook. entrepreneur, story teller, play worker, party organiser,
chauffer, accountant, first aider, counsellor, odd jobber, gardener,
toy constructionist, artist and savvy shopper …she could go on and
on and oh yes a writer too!

Prior to becoming a full time mum Becky was a Social worker and then a
Child and Social care Training and Development officer for Nottingham City
Council Social Services. She specialised in writing and delivering training in
child development and child communication courses. Becky is also a qualified
psychotherapist and has worked predominately with young people and mothers.

Becky has 2 ambitions in life

1. To stay off work to raise her children
2. To be happy and fulfilled in her family life

Should be simple but these 2 ideals are becoming increasingly difficult for modern day parents to achieve. To this end Becky has been very creative over the last few years making and saving the money she needs to stay off work. She has run an extremely part- time take your baby along baby signing business, she has done many car boot sales, she has learned the wonders of eBay and Amazon, she has budgeted wisely and so much more. Writing her book is her chance to share all she has learnt with others and hopefully help build a whole community of sharing, smart thinking parents who can free up time to be with their children.
