Trend of home work grows in county

Inside Jennifer Prell’s house in unincorporated McHenry County is a den with two desks, each with a computer. There also are bookshelves, telephones, a printer, a fax machine and articles about her business on the wall.

She’s operating two businesses out of the house: Paxem, which helps people when moving out of their homes, and Elderwerks, which helps seniors find housing and other services.

She started Paxem 9½ years ago so she could stay home and take care of her children, who now are 17 and 13 years old.
