Good Morning to all of the wonderful mommies,

I am a mother of one soon to be 2 yr old son. (Who is amazing, if i may say!) I am currently employed full time Mon-Thurs., 8-5 and Fri 8-1. However, I am still having a tough time trying to maintain and pay bills, specifically, DAYCARE!!! It is a killer to my pockets!! LoL! I am SO frustrated trying to find work or part time work that I can do from home. Everytime I inquire w/ a company or advertisement it seems to be a scam or I have to put out a HUGE amount of money first. Can any mom's out there recommend work from home that I can do on the evenings and/or weekends, (I do have internet access?) Anything that I can make some extra money while still at home w/ my darling son would be PERFECT! Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!!! It would be greatly appreciated!!!

A.

What can I do next?

Hi A.,
I absolutely love my job as a stylist for Stella & Dot, an amazing boutique jewelry company sold exclusively through private trunk shows. I NEVER in a million years would have thought I would try something like this, but I just fell in love with the product and then the company. The company is new and the jewelry is amazing. We grew 700% last year and the opportunity to grow your own business is huge. I work completely part time around my family's schedule and make great money doing something really fun. The jewelry is featured regularly in InStyle, Lucky etc and it is easy to get started. Check out my website at www.stelladot.com/alicepritchett and let me know if you have any questions!

I know how you feel about wanting to be with your son & still be able to pay the bills. I was looking for part-time work four years ago so I could continue to home school my 2 youngest kids after I'd succeeded in doing that with my 2 oldest ones through grade school. As the eldest was beginning college & the next eldest was half-way through Catholic high school (with tuition to pay, of course), we didn't know how to keep paying the bills on one moderate salary. (My husband worked at a clerical job.)

Whatever I did had to still leave me time to home school. I tried doing daycare at a church 1 afternoon, every other week. I loved being with the kids, but although daycare takes a big chunk out of your paycheck, daycare workers don't make much money! I tried giving out samples at grocery stores, but that was way too little money for my time.

We turned to prayer, and then a very good friend with whom we'd lost touch called to tell us about a nutrition science company she'd found that had helped her get rid of the horrible headaches she'd had for 15 years since having a whiplash injury in a car accident. My husband was having some health problems, so we tried the products & were very pleased with his results. I started thinking of all the people I could help if I joined my friend in business with this company, so I've been earning money from home since then. We'll always be grateful to my friend sharing this opportunity with us, & we definitely believe she called us in answer to our prayers.

Let me know if you want to know more. I'd be glad to share. In 4 years with this company, Reliv, I've never had a moment of regret for joining my friend. I've felt very blessed with the opportunity to help people I care about, including my little great nephew who was recently diagnosed with autism.

I have been earning from home for over 5 years with my 2 children, now 6 and 4 by my side. I love the flexibility and growing income. I was skeptical when I first left my teaching job, I really did not have any money to lose and I needed to replace my teaching income quickly. I found a great BBB approved company and love helping other moms get the details so you can see if it is a good fit for you. You can call me directly at ###-###-#### to schedule a time to talk.

I started working from home about a month ago becuase I'm expecting my first son - actually the due date was yesterday... still waiting. :) But I started while I was still working full time, and had low energy from the last leg of pregnancy. I've already earned my first paycheck and I love what I do! You can choose either to make a part time income, or depending on how much time and effort you are able/willing to put in can completely replace your income. My goal is to replace my income, and I am on my way. I'd love to get you more information about it if you'd like. www.workathomeunited.com/joycita or send me an email ____@____.com or give me a call ###-###-#### (like I said, I'm waiting to give birth, so I may or may not answer, but leave me a message and I'll get back with you as soon as I can - email may be a better option right now...) Good luck!

If you haven't found the right work from home yet, let me know. I found the perfect work from home job a couple of months ago. I am still working full-time, but hope to be working exclusively from home some day. For now, I’m able to get some extra money by putting in a couple hours a week. You can work at your own pace and make your family’s schedule BEFORE your work schedule. You could even try this out now while you’re still working to help make ends meet or help you to decide to stay home completely. I totally know how you feel. All of my take home pay goes to daycare!! Argh!

I am a Shaklee Independent Distributor. I work from home and would be glad to tell you about it. It is something you can grow and eventually continue to do part-time with a full time income.......from home. I wish I had started this when my children were young. If I had it would have made a big difference for my family. If health and nutrition is a field you would like to be part of drop me an email and we can figure out whether Shaklee would be a good fit for you.
My Best,
P.
