Would you have any interest in being connected with the rental property owner who I used to do part-time at-home admin tasks for when I was unemployed? He's super nice, and the work is simple. I priced interior decorators for him, collected resumes for a handyman job he was filling, did a bit of data entry. I worked between 6 and 10 hours a week (usually closer to 6), and I never had to set foot out of the house. The money helped. I don't know if he's got someone new doing it, but if you're interested I could ask.

(He and his wife have a toddler so he totally understands the whole baby workload thing.)

I pinged him yesterday to see if he needed help. I'll let you know if I hear back!

Sounds good. You've confirmed a lot of what I suspected in regards to doing this myself. My current decision is not to make a decision yet. I've founf it immensely stress reducing thus far.
