Needing Extra Income

My husband and I have a few debts that we want to take care of. To fast track this we need another income. I am a stay at home mom and, while I know it will help us, I can't stand to think of leaving my boy. Plus, we have just moved to the area and I do not know about any of the child care centers. Does anyone know of legit work from home jobs? I am not a sells person! I have a degree in counseling and I can do administrative work. I appreciate all the help I can get.

What can I do next?

I am sorry to say that there really aren't a lot of options for working from home...other then selling stuff. That road wasn't for me either......I know there are a few degrees you can get quickly and work for a business from home. One I have been looking into in medical transcription. Some places will hire you or you can work for a company that hires you out, you can either make a set salary or get paid by word. I haven't had much time to really look into it, but it seems like a good job. Another option is maybe babysitting in your home, but I tried that and unless you are a certified daycare keeping a few kids instead of one or two then people can try to take advantage of you. But if you are interested in can bring in a fairly decent amount of money. Just be sure to create and stick to a contract...no matter what.
I hope maybe this helps....good luck....

Hi A.!! Please check out my website! It is www.momonamission.info

This is a business that I really believe in. It's the greatest decision I've ever made for myself and my family. I have a 6 month old little boy who is my entire world! I had to have a work from home job so I didn't have to leave him at a daycare. I finally found something that wasn't a scam or fraud. I am now helping other moms work from home for extra income or even replace their current income plus more!! If you have any questions feel free to ask. I am dedicated to helping other moms build a work from home business!!

Have a great day,

Hello,

I had been looking for about 3 mo. for an at home job. It is very fustrating, But hang in there. My faverite site is WAHM.COM I got my job from there. I have been working for about 1 mo. It is slow right now, But I am still in the trial period. There are many jobs on there that are legit. But you have to have patience. Some said it tokk the 1yr. or more some, 3 wks. It all depends. But that is where I would start your search. It is also a forum, so you can talk to other moms to. Good Luck in your search.

Hi A.!

When we decided to start a family, I had a corporate 9-5, plus some weekends job. I wanted to do something that would allow me time to raise my children and set my own hours. I became a realtor. This may work for you depending on where you live ((it can be kinda expensive to get started depending on school and state laws).

I have loved it. I have found that it is really hard to work from home with a toddler...but I have a great babysitter and a wonderful husband who help me work when I need or want to.

If you or your husband got your lisence, you could be an active realtor or remain inactive and simply refer clients to other realtors for a fee. (In the state of Kentucky you cannot pay/receive a referral fee unles you are a licensed realtor.)

Basically you can make as little or as much as you want. Email me if you want more info. I'd be happy to give you the good and the bad!

Hi A.! I actually just started working with a business / team from home that I love. It's called the MOM team, we help other moms work from home. If you would like more information, check out my website:

I also had to find a way to take care of a few debts, and I think this will definitely help me do that, and more.
