You need to be motivated, organized and have a good sense of customer service. Some of the people we deal with are rude. It is also hard to separate what is going on around you from work, since you are actually at home.

If you don't have kids, don't do it at home. It is very hard and we weren't given the proper amount of training. I felt as if I was thrown into the deep end of the pool with no floaties.
