My husband had to take a few weeks off for an injury. Now I'm having trouble making it paycheck to paycheck until we get caught up. I work 8-5:30 m-f. I have 2 toddlers at home the rest of the time. I need to earn a little grocery money quick. I'm putting an add on Craigslist to babysit evenings and weekends. Any other ideas? Please, no pyramid scams or anything I have to buy into. I can't afford to purchase a product line to sell or anything like that. I can type. I've got insurance licenses and experience, and an associates degree. I'm pretty crafty and good with kids. I have a car, so I could pick up or deliver. I can cook. I make great cakes. I'm just throwing stuff out here hoping I hit on something! Let me know if you have any suggestions at all. Thanks, T.

What can I do next?

for sittings try sittercity.com, seekingsitters.com (say E. Cronin referred you), care.com, care4hire.com, babysitters4hire.com, sittercafe.com etc

I have built up my babysitting through these sites and off here and I am avg 1200-1500 a mo babysitting nights and weekends.

Go through your house and see what you don't need anymore have a garage sale, sell on craigslist, sell to a resale shop.

Clean houses, mow lawns, deweed, You can call management comapnies for homes and ask about cleaning houses that new ppl are moving into etc.

Since you are not looking to start your own business, here is another idea that may help: freelance ____@____.com. Other than writing and my home based business, I don't have any personal experience from which to give a solid recommendation. Hope this helps.
