Private Detective Moms, Valerie Agosta and Mollie Carman, found the perfect job for moms. Their mom-only private investigation agency, Handy Investigations, offers flexible hours, your
home is the perfect office, unlimited work that increases as well as fun, adventure,and variety.
"Employment of private detectives and investigators is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2012. In addition to growth, replacement of those who retire or
leave the occupation for other reasons should create many job openings. Increased demand for private detectives and investigators will result from fear of crime, increased litigation, and
the need to protect confidential information and property of all kinds." US Dept of Labor.
As "Undercover Mothers," Valerie Agosta and Mollie Carman know the advantages of working as Private Investigators and think it is perfect for moms. Check it out:
*very flexible hours and days. Mollie and I can arrange our hours around our family's needs -- we have 7 children between the 2 of us and a husband each!
*you can work in any geographic location and your home is the perfect office.
*good hourly wage. We charge $50/hour and are not at the top of the range.
*the possibility of owning your own business as we do.
*the areas to mine for investigative work are endless. Whether its long lost loves, adoption searches, child custody, infidelity, insurance fraud, it is always there. After 4 years we
have just began to scratch the surface and are going strong. New areas constantly open up such as Elder Abuse Investigation and Identity Theft.
*great opportunities for women. Because we are two moms, our business is jumping because we are the ones that people turn to in difficult and emotional situations not ex-cops. We hear
this over and over, "I felt like you would understand and not judge or belittle." We are not law enforcement. We are information gatherers. Plus, do not discount women's intuition. It has
helped in the most unusual ways. I am beginning to think my partner, Mollie, is psychic.
* FUN and Adventure. Most everyone has wanted to be a detective at some point in his or her life. There is a good reason for this: Our jobs allow us to solve mysteries and puzzles, not
knowing what may result: happiness, sadness, disappointment, joy, closure, anger, validation .Nancy Drew is my Role Model.
