(I don’t know of any in my field of work and can’t think of any in general)
Thank you!!

Sure! I work as a researcher, and most research labs are quite loose and flexible in their work policy. I used to work at a university where they kind of wanted me to be around some of the time (though they wouldn't force me when I was unable), but now I work in industry research in a 100% remote position. It wasn't very easy to find that job, but many companies are getting increasingly flexible with working from home, and now with the covid situation some are forced to. I hope some of that flexibility will remain after covid is gone, that way at least some good will have come out of all the misery.
If research isn't your thing, maybe there's something else. In the past I've considered doing freelance work in writing/editing. I imagine something similar might be possible in graphic design or fields like that. I also know programming lends itself well to remote work. Unfortunately some fields are way more flexible in this regard than others, and a lot depends on your background. I hope you'll be able to find something suitable for you!
