Question Work From Home??

Does anyone know of any legitimate work from home jobs? I am so freaking out, cuz I have no employment history to speak of. I mean Ive been a stay at home mom for 13+ years. Cant really do a college course because I owe several thousand for tuition. I know if I could make my own money I would be okay. But without a job, I'm absolutely stuck.

I don't know how you'd feel about this but Daycare in this area is a money making business for sure. You have to licensed by the county you live in but thats not too much of a big deal. Taking in 3-4 kids a week can pull in anywhere from 350-450 a week here.....I feel for you hon. Life is so crazy now with the bills being so darn high everywhere you turn. Good luck, Bonnie

That's a thought Bonnie, but I'm not sure my nerves can handle that. My two yr old is a handful all by himself! :0 But, If there are no other options, I will have to do what I have to do. Thanks!

Waitressing can be pretty lucrative if you get into a nice restaurant. I will keep you in my prayers. Hugs, Marle

I have a friend who just started a pet-sitting business. She stops in and visits peoples' critters when they're away at work or on vacation, sometimes takes her little daughter with her. Sometimes they walk the dogs too, and get exercise while they're at it. She makes $25.00/hour or more that way.

I've heard about this web site too: Work at home moms jobs, articles and more.

You might be surprised what being a "stay at home" Mom can do for you! I used to work in commercial property management and one of the managers in another City always liked to hire a Mom coming back into the work place because she usually knew how to multi-task, was good at prioritizing, great with the diversity of tenants, was open to learning the "new" business, etc. I think he was not the only one, there are a lot of people who appreciate and know what it takes to run a household and raise kids - it's a HUGE job!

Sending you prayers and hugs towards finding a niche that works for you!

My ex has a job that is legitimate and work at home. Working on the computer-they provide, you pay for it tho the price is reasonable, and of course you have to have internet access and I'm guessing that you're an independent contractor for them. If you like I can pm you with a company name.
