Hi Mama's,
I just quit my job, but really do still need some income. I need something I can do from home as I am now also homeschooling my son for many reasons. I type 40+ wpm, but when I was typing more frequently, it was nearer 80 wpm. I have receptionist experience so great phone skills. I have tried selling Pampered Chef (which I love but didn't make much money at) and Mary Kay (which is just not my thing). I also LOVE decorating cakes, but I know here in Texas I cannot legally make money doing that from my home. I don't really have any money to put into a "home based business" either. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks for all your help.

J.

I would try in home daycare for one child.

I babysit a 15 month old little girl that is close to my DD age four days a week. I bring in $120 a week...

Plus, all toys you buy or cleaning supplies used for daycare purposes are tax deductable. You can even deduct a portion of your home at tax time. This year I deducted around $2000 due to daycare expenses.

It is fun and allows my daughter a friend. I suggest getting CPR/First Aid training first. You can watch up to three kids this includes your own with out being registered. I have an extra daycare crib for sale if you are interested in this type of work. It is fun and allows you to play with your kids.

As far as any other work...sadly I have no answers. I have been looking for quite some time...I too am a Professional Receptionist for Law Firms but cant find anything that works for me.

Good Luck!

I do in-home wine tastings if that is something you would be interested in. Its lots of fun and I've learned so much about wine. Check out my website or shoot me an email if this sounds like something you'd be interested in. We're having a mini-tasting and business presentation in Dallas on the 10th if you'd like to come see what its all about.

We taste 3 whites and 3 reds with chocolates and cheeses and learn about food pairing ideas and about wine. Its easy and I'm seriously getting paid to drink wine!

Let me know if you have any questions...and good luck with your search! I hope you find something that is perfect for you!

Cheers!
