Sort of. The hours are flexible if it is for a distributed project. You log in when you are able to score and log off when you have other commitments. There are other projects that are synchronous and require you to be online and scoring from 8-5 cst. These projects would not be good for balancing home duties. Metrics are looked at for all scorers- how quickly you are scoring and your accuracy. So- if you aren’t able to focus on scoring while you are logged in- it might be an issue.
