I want to do something prefeably not baby sit. I am a 35 year old woman with 3 children 5 y/o has special needs and 3 and 1 year old are typical healthy busy children:) I am very busy caring for my 5 year old and taking him to therapy 2 fulldays a week but maybe arts and crafts what do you all do?
Actualy what I started doing was a meal prep business. Since I was home all day I put out flyers in all the mail boxes in my nebgorhood offering a meal perp service. They supply all the ingrdiants and I cook the meal and they can stop by and pick them up before going home or I will walk it over to them. I charge $25.00 + food cost per meal prepared. I started doing this about 6 months ago and I average about $125.00 – $150.00 per week between all my clients. It has worked out great so far. Good luck to you!!!

I have sold on eBay. If your area might support it, you might think of starting a Cupcake Mom business where you’d bake homemade cupcakes for all the moms who are working & need cupcakes for their kids’ classes.

I stay home with my kids and make anywhere from $20 to $100 by using big crumbs when I shop.

Try making jewerly and selling it. You could baby-sit other children. If possible get a job that allows you to work from home. Maybe take pictures to frame and sell. Whatever you do enjoy it!

I know it sounds cheesy but invite some friends over to have a yard sale and while that going on, through in a bake sale. It works! A lot of people who get up early to go to yard sales, don’t have breakfast and they will buy snacks. There is nothing like someone who is selling cold drinks on a hot day when you’re out yard selling.

I do this and it makes a difference at a yard sale!

ALL THE BELOW/ABOVE SUGGESTIONS ARE GOOD ONES. I JUST HAVE ONE MORE TO ADD TO YOUR CHOICES…SELL AVON. IT ONLY COSTS 10.00 TO START. SOMETIMES THEY WILL WAVE THE FEE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY ??S RE: AVON FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME ANYTIME. godsoldier74@yahoo.com
I HAVEN’T BEEN DOING ALL THAT LONG ONLY A FEW TIMES.

Sell things on ebay…start with things laying around in your house or go to yard sells and pick up things cheap and sell them on ebay..even if you only make 5 bucks off of the things you picked up it does add up. Play around with it at first with your own things, get to know the system and how it works and I know a few stay at home mom’s that after they did that they made flyers advertising what they did…people brough things to them they wanted to get rid of and you have a fill int he blank contract…so and so gave me this item and once it sells we will split the profit 50 50. She sells peoples things on ebay and makes 50% sometimes it can be up to 30 40 50 dollars! Just depends on what it is!
Another thing you can do is sell Avon. The only suggestion I have with that is make sure the people pay up front and understand that until you have recieved payment you will not place their order. I had a friend that sold Avon and at first she did not do this and was ending up with orders left and right that people didn’t pay for and she was stuck with the items. Sometimes these orders were a hundred dollars or more!
Good luck and hopefully you find something that you will enjoy. God Bless you and your family!
