Any moms find sucessful ways to earn $ while staying at home ?

Question

im a mommy to 3 1/2 month old olivia and currently studying to be a RN. it would be pointless for us to find a babysitter because i would be basically working to pay them! anything i can do at home to bring in some extra $. my hubby has 2 jobs and will soon be going back to school part time to get his masters...

Answer 1

I have an 8 month old son. I babysit a 14 month old 9 hours a day 5 days a week. I make $600 a month and it is salary pay!! My son has learned to socialize and I think him seeing another baby that crawls/walks has sped up his desire to do so. It can be stressful at times but worth the cash.  

Answer 2

There are couple of ways to do this and it depends how well you know certain things

1) Are you good with computers? Try looking at opportunities like online Blogging. If you are good with words, chances are you can earn good amount by blogging. Sharing things you already do with the online world and earning money doing that is a good way to start

2) Are you good with shopping? Are you a bargain hunter? Can you find good deals? Try selling stuff on ebay if you are really good with getting good deals

3) If you are good with babies, how about being a baby-sitter yourself? Try Mom's support group in your area and find out if you can baby-sit some kids(or even just one kid) from that group, it will bring in some good cash-flow doing what you are already doing for one kid..

And I say this to everybody staying home, saving money is one way of earning money. Try finding out where all you can save money. You can cook one more evening at home (and thats your $12-15 savings right there)..There are lots of things you can do staying at home.

Good luck with new baby and have fun :)

Answer 5

I have a website that I am the author of. It's great because It's all about arts and crafts and homemade gifts which is something I am very passionate about as well as have a lot of knowledge about. I got started because I wanted to find a way to make a little extra money, but it has really turned into a nice second income for me. I am still an art teacher because I love to teach, but I am hoping to soon go part time and then be a stay at home mom full time in the near future. If everything keeps going the way it is for me that dream will soon be a reality. My site is http://www.the-best-homemade-gift-ideas.... If you have any questions on how I got sterted feel free to e mail me. Otherwise you can see more about how I built my site at the bottom of each page.

Good luck to you, it's a huge step to stay at home, but such a fulfilling one.
