and it was her idea. wow. Don't know what I will do tomorrow but I will figure it out. Such a sweet little child...I'll always be her grandmom and won't push her mom away because she will need to go back once my kid has grown a bit more.

MT pay shock

I'm still trying to figure out what I could hope to make working p/t from home after say a year's experience. There's seems to be a wide range. Can you shed some light on this for me? I need some sort of perspective. Thanks.

I'm glad you brought this up...
I'm glad you brought this up, because there are scams out there and new MTs need to be aware of them. Just look at the threads below regarding Proficient Transcription.

Best of luck to you in your job search!

I only wish I had the legal ability to put child in

DC. I have been keeping my GC every other weekend for 2-1/2 years and that changes and gets added to depending on my "kid's" need to "still be a kid." I'm the only stable, learning, unconditional love environment for that child but I'm really being taken advantage of. I've changed my schedule 3 times since October and now my "kid" took a new job without talking to me about it first. The "kid" gives me less than 12 hours notice and thinks it's like the old days when my flexibility was limitless. I'm an employee now with a strict schedule and a supe who calls if I'm not on the system when I should be. They understand if I can let them know in advance but if someone runs late picking up my GC, I don't have advance knowledge of that. I thought I was done raising kids!

Sorry for the self pity trip but I understand your situation and how it pulls at your heart. Hope things go well for your family.

my work/child care issue
I was having the same issue. I was having my 3-year-old daughter go to my sister's to save money and one morning, she refused to get out of the van. What I did was change my hours from 4-8 AM and 2-6 PM. These hours work perfect for me. She gets up around 7 and I will take 10 minutes to get her breakfast. She knows that when I am done working, I will get her dressed, etc. My line count DOUBLED when I changed to this. She is getting so much more attention from me, my house isn't trashed and if I go to bed at 9, i get 7 hours of sleep. Getting up that early stinks, but it is working absolutely perfect in every other aspect. My son and husband get home around 3 and 3:30, so she only has to occupy herself or watch cartoons for about 1-2 hours.

I'm sure you will find something that will work for you and your family.

You still haven't addressed the issues brought up below . (sm)
The first sentence of your post above says you are going to address the issues posted on this board, and yet you STILL haven't addressed these issues, such as why you take money upfront instead of letting people buy their own software, why you charged for software that is free, why does someone need to buy a foot pedal from you when they can buy it on their own, and if someone already has a foot pedal and the software what would you charge them. It seems you're skating around the issues instead of addressing them. This has nothing to do with pleasing people 100% of the time, and it has nothing to do with personnel issues. I don't work for you. This is about enlightening those who need it about the scams that are out there.

And you DO respond to these posts very quickly. You responded to my original post INSTANTLY.

Those numbers are brought down because they include MD's private offices
Physicians' offices and clinics pay next to nothing. That brings the numbers way down. Every MT I know makes more than that, at least after the first year!

Apply for child care assistance and put the kids in daycare.
You can't juggle all that. Either that or have the father watch his own kids for a while so you can work.
