Can dependent care and telecommuting be done together?
In almost every situation, the answer is no. One of the major benefits of telecommuting is the opportunity to work without distractions. If telecommuters have to take care of a small child or someone who needs constant care, they will not be concentrating solely on work.While it is possible to combine telecommuting and dependent care, it takes an extremely disciplined, honest and hardworking employee to manage the home situation.
