I am a stay at home mom, recently became a caregiver, but there is no work available for me right now, I need something I can do at home, without a start up fee or selling things to friends and family. Does anyone know of anything, that I can make around 400-500 a month?

What can I do next?

I just started watching another child in my home for $800 dollars a month. I am charging the parents $200 per week and I supply two snacks and lunch. I don't know what your experience is. I believe normally most people pay only about $150-$175 per week. Since I used to teach for 5 years and I have my masters in education I am able to charge more. It's great because I can do what I normally do with my 15 month old which is play and I'm not sidetracked by some other stay-at-home job where I would have to be on the computer or telephone. It is also great for my son because he has a playmate now. If this sounds like a good fit for you, you can ask friends and family if they know of anyone who is looking for daycare or you can post a note in your neighborhood at the mailboxes. I hope you find something soon!

Hey E.! I'm a stay at home mom of a 4 year old and 2.5 year old twins. I've been working from home for the past 2 years now, and making a great living! What I love is that I help people SAVE money, not spend more money on things they don't really need. Times are tough, so it's nice to know you are doing something good for others by helping them save money on things they already purchase at the store and help them make some extra or replacement income on the side! If you're still looking, I'd love to share what I do with you. Send me an email at ____@____.com to set up a time to talk in detail. I never have to sell, stock inventory or throw parties, and I get paid weekly!

You can also check out Craigslist for job postings. I made extra cash by doing various writing jobs. If you have resume writing skills you can make fast and easy money that way too. My advice is to not only respond to ads but also create your own in the "services" section. Just make sure to write an outstanding ad to set yours apart from the rest.

Good luck.

Hi E.,
I work from home, but in reality it is running my own business. So my income is not limited, but my goal is to share with others about my company. I do tell my family and friends about it, but only because they ask me what I am doing now, and because I care about them.
You may want to try to contact AAA because they use people to answer phones from home... some people really like that work.
I hope you find what you are looking for!

I'm not sure how it is with the market the way it is but I sold Avon for two years. It's cheap to start up (maybe $10) and most people already know and trust the company. You have to put at least a $25 order once every two weeks but I never, ever had trouble finding customers. My only problem is that i used my profit to buy products...LOL I enjoyed it and I enjoyed my customers. I haven't done it in a while but constantly taking orders over the phone and delivering products at the customers convenience wore on me with homeschooling 4 children. Otherwise, I'd still be doing it.

Right now I'm teaching ballet in my home. If there is something you like to do and you can teach others in your home. Maybe do arts and crafts for homeschoolers or something like that. If you're reasonably priced and can offer something that others would like, you can do pretty well at it.
