I have been a SAHM for over a year now.. I started babysitting back in December to help supplement my husband's income. I feel that I am getting burnt out on babysitting and at the end of the day end up neglecting my own kids. I've been incredibly moody, tired, and short tempered with everyone for what seems like months now. I just can't and don't need to be babysitting anymore. It's not good for the kids I keep or for my own kids.I no longer do it because I want too, I do it because I feel that I HAVE too for the money. I need to find something that will give me the freedom to still stay home with my kids, but won't take up a ton of time or require an un-godly start up fee... and I do not want to have to keep products on hand in my home. My husband refuses to let me stop babysitting until I have a back up plan in action. PLEASE HELP!!!

What can I do next?

J.,
Let me tell you, I can understand. I am a HS teacher, and am 35 wks pregnant with my 2nd. After June, I will have 2 under 2, and we decided it wasn't worth the stress or small amount of net income for me to go back in the fall. I have spent many mornings extremely frustrated on my way to work, and many evenings with a tired 1yo that I never see. I looked around a lot before I even asked for more info. I decided to join the MOM team. The start up is minimal and refundable in 4 months (ie NO risk). There is NO selling, NO inventory, NO cold calling, and there IS unlimited training & support from Moms just like you who have been successful.

I would love to talk to you!

I work from home and what I do would be a great fit for you! I work around my family's schedule and though I have my own business, there wasn't a large start-up fee. I have a great support team in the area and I am making a great income right from home! I don't carry an inventory either. I love to help other moms do the same for their families.

Hi J.:

If you haven't heard of Ignite, I highly recommend it - I've done several other businesses but really like this one because there is no inventory, it is something that EVERYone uses, it is residual, low start up fee which can be earned back immediately and easily and it pays well. AND it has a proven track record.

If you would like to know more, feel free to message me at ____@____.com OR check out our website at www.daviddsantos.igniteinc.biz

Whatever you choose to do, I wish you much happiness!!!

What about becoming a Scentsy Consultant? Are warmers use a 25 watt bulb to heat up the wax. It's extremely safe compared to candles. Check out my website at WWW.SCENTSY.COM/DFW and click Start a Business. Call or email me if you have any questions!
