Need to Supplement Income

I'm a mother to a beautiful 5 mo. old little boy and currently work as a dental hygienist two days a week. I also have been trying to do some contract work one day a week. The problem with the contract work is that they are very unreliable and call at the last minute when I have plans or can't get a sitter. I would like to continue working the two days but stop doing contract work. I would like to find something I can do from home or at least have a one day a week job that is consistent. Ideally, I only want to be away from him 3 days a week or 2 days if I can do it from home. I need to make about $400 a month. Let me know if you have any ideas. I do not want to host any sort of parties!

What can I do next?

Have you thought about selling stuff on Ebay? I started doing this with just stuff around the house. So far I've made a little over $300 in three weeks. I know that's not a ton, but HEY IT'S MONEY! And, I get to do it from home, and I don't have to have a babysitter for my 2 yr old.

I have the same problem. I could actually take my son to work with me but I don't want him to be exposed to all the chemicals I deal with. However I was watching Good Morning America about a week ago and Diane Sawyer was talking about stay home moms. She was talking about different jobs we can do from home so we can still spend time with our family. You can locate the article at abcnews.go.com
She added legit work from home jobs. And how to know when some one is scamming you. Hope this helps. I'm now looking into training as a medical coder/billing to supplement my income.

I work with a company that has one of the best compensation packages available. http://www.myadcalls.com/11235/ Let me know if you have any questions.

The company is really cool and you have the option to build a sales team or schedule your own appointments and sell business-2-business. There is also on-going training provided - conference call - and they have them almost everyday.

If you gain one sales person a month, you would earn $350 plus residuals. If you sold b2b once a month, you would earn from $250-$2000. So part-time you could do really well.

Hi H.! I highly suggest AVON! It has been an awesome opportunity for me! As long as you don't spend the money you make in the catalog yourself (heehee)! I would be more than happy to mail you a current catalog and a brochure all about it! It only costs $10 to get started and that includes your kit and your first set of books! It is so easy to sell because it sells itself.

Most people thing "skincare" or "makeup" when I say AVON and although I love their skincare and makeup, AVON has so much more! Toys, educational and otherwise, Clothes, shoes, jewelry...it is awesome! You can email me at ____@____.com if you are interested! Make sure you send me your mailing address so I can get everything in the mail to you!

Good luck in whatever you decide to do! I am sure you will find something that works for you!

H., I just started working part-time at my church in Flower Mound. I work in the childhood ministries watching children of parents that are in bible classes and/or MOPS. They pay very well, but its only for 3.5 hours a day at 3 days a week. The best thing is you can bring your child with you and know they are well taken care of. They do ext back ground checks and are meticulous about every step they take from cleaning to bath room brakes. Just an idea for extra income, free child care, and you can get out of the house.

Need more info just send me a message,

If you like to watch kids there are alot of people that need child care two or three days a week.
