Looking to Add a Little Extra Money to Our Income

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to make a little extra cash while staying at home. I did a lot of online research but nothing really seemed legit. With a very active toddler I really just need something that I can do a few hours a day while he's napping. I am pretty much open to trying anything, the main catch is that my son is my main priority and I don't want anything that will interfere with our time together...but since we just bought a new place, I would like to help add some income to the family. Am I being unrealistic and asking too much or is there something out there??

What can I do next?

Hi,

Do you have any computer skills or word processing? Maybe you could look into being a VA - Virtual Assistant. There are small businesses looking to outsource to people, or maybe even typing college papers or resumes. You could do this a few hours a day while your son is sleeping. Here is just one site you could look at: http://www.mommysplace.net/become_a_virtual_assistant.html

Hope this gives you some ideas.

I prepare taxes and resumes at home. I started doing taxes while I was pregnant with my youngest child. It is good income especially during the season. I also work part time out of the house, but to make extra money I enjoy these two things.

Have you heard of Scentsy "the Authentic Wickless Candles"? It's a safe alternative than candles. Scentsy is a decorative warmer that use a 25 watt bulb to melt the wax. It's not hot to the touch and you can leave them on all day and not worry about something burning. The company has been around for 3 years and is growing daily! Just to give you and idea of how fast we are growing, is we had 632 consultants sign up in the month of January. Majority of our consultants is on the West Coast. In New Jersey we have 14 consultants and New York State we have 19 consultants. The products sell themselve and nothing is over $25.

I "work" from home, but it really doesn't feel like work. I was a little skeptical at first but it is a great co & you can work as much or little as you need to & you get to wear lots of jewelry for Free! I spend a few hrs/wk making phone calls, emails and then schedule parties at my convenience. I average about $250 to $400 per party (lasting about 3 hrs) Not Bad!

Hi Attiya1
Some stay-at home mothers I know looking after kids(better same age with your boy). Give an add in your local grocery store etc, tell that you can watch the kid for few hours- or to take to school or pick up from school . it is around $7-12 /hour depend on where you live. If you live in Manhattan it is probably even more. To make contacts of mothers you should regularly go to playgrounds or sign for mommy and me classes.
Good luck!
