VIPKID: And So It Began

One day I was just minding my own business in an LDS mom's Facebook group. Someone posted about looking for a way to earn money at home. Normal post. I see that all the time. No one ever suggests something I really feel like I could get on board with. I don't wear lipstick. Don't want to. I'm about the least trendy person ever. I rarely leave the house so why would I need to get super hyped about my clothes? Lulawho? I can't sell stuff. Don't want to work for a call center. My kids are too noisy and my husband isn't home at the right times for that. Whatever I do needs to be WORTH IT. Worth the sacrifice. Worth the pay. I want to like it.

Up until the moment I saw the words VIPKID I never considered that I could really have a 'job' at home. What would be worth turning my entire routine upside down for?

And then someone on that post said they worked for VIPKID. Teaching English to children in China.

Interesting.

$20/hour? That caught my attention. What kind of work at home job pays $20/hour? This one does. For reals? Yes. It's not a scam.

Tons of videos from current teachers.

She looks normal. She looks legit. Could I do this?

I actually think I could.

I could get out of bed for this. I really could. This actually looks fun. I look good in orange!

And so I submitted an application that literally took me 5 minutes to complete. 10 minutes later I had a request for an interview. Four days later I had completed the first interview and was hired.

What do they require?

--Bachelor's Degree
--Proper technology: camera, speakers, headphones, wifi etc. You need to be able to use their system.
--Experience teaching children is very helpful.

That's about it! Other than that they are just looking for your winning personality and an ability to have fun! If you are a SAHM like me and feel like it is your time to add something to your place to help bring home the bacon, don't hesitate. I am two weeks into this journey and couldn't be more excited!
