Best Paid Part Time Jobs for Moms

Starbucks and Dollar General offer medical insurance to part time employees.
You can sign on with a temp agency and only take jobs on the days and times you are available.

Nursing. You can work any shift and it pays well in most states. I start back tomorrow. 8 hr shifts 2 days a week.

This question is asked so often. You open yourself up for all the MLM/direct sales recruiters out there so beware of all the work from home, you'll be rich ask me how replies you will get....

Once your children are in school there are a lot of opporunities. When my only daughter started K, I was at the school volunteering my time a lot. At the time there was a shortage of substitutes and the principal asked me to go to the ISD (if interested) and apply to be a substitute for their school. I did. I ONLY sub at that school because it is a great school.

Here we are 10+ yrs later, daughter is a Junior in Sr High School and I still sub 1-2 days a week...it would be more if I had the time but I run our company's financials and have a lot of responsibility at home plus I volunteer at my daughter's school.

The hours for working at your child's school or a MDO program is perfect because you are done before your children are out of school.

Other opportunities are working retail which does include some nights and weekends but would require your hubby to help you out on child care.

I see signs all the time posed for part time help around here... Our area has not seen the economic downturn as much as many other areas.

Good luck to you finding something and just beware of the recruiters unless you are into that type of deal where you sell, invest, recruit people.

It could make you crazy after several years with children, but what if you get a job at their school? While the pay may not be huge you do not have to pay before or after school care and you get to see them once in awhile!! (Might not be what you want though). And you can transport them yourself. On the other hand if you are up for adult activity just waitress lunches at a close restaurant. The benefit is usually cash right away and you are done after school.

I left a well paying job to be home and raise my daughter and have found a great opportunity I can do from home 9 years ago. I am still working from home and earning more than I did working 9 to 11 hours a day. I love the flexablity and making a difference for others as well.

Let me know if you woul like more information.

I went back to work as a cashier after several years of being a stay-at-home mom. The manager was very understanding and only scheduled me during the day. It was a fun job but unfortunately, I had to quit to take care of my Daddy. Now that he's in heaven I'm once again looking for something. My situation is even worse now though because my husband works out of town and only (sometimes) gets home on the weekends. I wish I could find some work from home!!!

There is a website that has lots of part-time jobs: SnagAJob.com - you can search by zip code and only have to put in personal information when you want to apply for a job. That's how I got my job.

Good luck!!!

My husband works for Bank of America as a morgage collections manager and he has a ton of employees that work part time. Most of those employees work odd hours, but still make a good wage.

landscaping or gardening

Have you considered Starbucks? Even the baristas make more than minimum wage. I worked as a shift supervisor and worked anywhere from 25-40 hours a week. You make tips plus they offer life insurance, medical, dental, vision, adoption assistance, tuition reimbursement and other perks such as a pound of free coffe or tea a week plus free beverages while you work and a 30% discount!

Court reporting is a great, flexible option. There is some schooling required and you'll need to purchase equipment, but the pay is very good. Most people think of the person in the courtroom when they hear "court reporting" but court reporters work in many othere arenas, including from home, providing "closed captioning" for television; in-person "captioning" for deaf or hard-of-hearing students in classrooms, at meetings, conventions, doctor's appts., etc.; depositions, hearings, arbitrations ... and more that I'm not thinking of at the moment. For less schooling and less equipment expenditure you could be what is called a "scopist" where you learn the steno "language" and how to prepare transcripts, then "edit" transcripts for court reporters remotely throughout the country.

www.ncra.org is a great resource for information about all things court reporting. and there is a very moving video on youtube that shows the impact a captioner has for a medical student. i'll try to attach the link here -

If it doesn't work, go to youtube, type in "davis surgery caption" and you there should be a video about a surgical student at davis using captioning during surgery.

I'd love to answer any questions you might have, or help you find the answers if I don't know them. So you know, I've been a court reporter for over 20 years now, always part-time, in the court room - now have a 4-yr-old and a 20-mo-old - and have recently begun doing some freelance work on the side doing depositions and arbitrations for a little extra money ... but I have to say, since I watched the above video, I've really been thinking about making a change to captioning. How rewarding it seems ...

Good luck!!

When my daughter was 3 (she's 12 now) - we needed some extra $ to make ends meet. I didn't have anyone available to watch her while I worked that would make it worth my while and wouldn't eat up my paycheck. I decided to start a Pampered Chef business. I mostly do shows on Fridays and leave after my husband gets home from work. I've never needed childcare because that's how I've always done it.

A direct sales job like this is NOT a get rich quick scheme - and don't let anyone tell you that any sales job will be bringing in thousands of dollars from the start - it won't. In general, I do 4-6 shows per month and earn an average of $250 per show. This month was slower. I did only 2 shows and earned $550. Not bad for just going out for a few hours two times this month.

I love to cook, I love being in front of people and teaching them how to cook. It's not for everyone. Nobody has ever rolled their eyes at me because I'm "one of those MLM recruiter people". In 9 years of doing this, I have 4 people on my "team". I don't actively recruit and that's fine with my company - we don't have a quota of any kind when it comes to that or even sales really. I work the business into my life and I like that aspect. It's completely flexible which is what I need.

If you'd like more info, send me a private message. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
