I have identical twin daughters, they are 10 months old. I am looking for some ideas to work from home. I currently have a full time job, but I am looking to be able to spend more time at home with my daughters. Any one have any ideas for working from home? I am not really keen on marketing or having to sell things from home. Please, any advice any one can give me is really helpful. Thanks!!

What can I do next?

When looking for a work from home with any business you should look for a place that has what you like. What I mean by that is, well lets take Amway they have cleaners & house type of items, you may like them, but would you buy them? Would you just go to Walmart & buy them? You find a place that has a unique item/product. I was with a company that had the same products as Walmart had. So the company didn't work out that well cause everyone could just go somewhere else to shop. The company I am with now if you were to go to Walmart you would spend about 60 to 70 dollars to get just enough product to use one time. So it makes sense to go with something that will help you save. I hope that made sense LOL here's my site has more info, my #'s on there too or you can send me a message through here if you would like me to answer any questions. www.fuelmileageplus.com

Working from home is just that, WORKING from home! I have never really seen how working from home allows that much more time with the kids. Yes you can be in the room, or just across the hall if they need you so that's nice. But they are kids, and they will constantly interrupt you. Or you'll be in the middle of something important (or a work crisis) and of course that's when they spill milk all over!

If you have a talent to sell, that's the best thing. Proofreading, transcription, etc. Still, there will be questions and things to do during the day and the companies I know expect you to put their work first and your kids second. They can't always wait for your kids' naptime.

I've found the best things to do when having kids are selling crafts online, writing books and songs, designing websites, proofreading and anything else that can be done on your own schedule, on your own time and usually late at night when the kids are in bed!

Good luck!

Have you heard of Mona Vie? It is a health juice that provides a world of benefits. My husband and I drink this wonderful juice ourselves and feel so much better for it. Sleep, joint pain and energy as well. Since starting this product, we have become distributors for Mona Vie. http://r3gteam.com/
We believe in this product so much that we are sharing our story with others and gettin them on it as well. In the process, we are making money. It is the #1 all natural health juice. It isn't sold in stores, it's only through social networking that this is done. When you have some time, take a look at the site and look at the 2 links to the right, Essence of Mona Vie and the flip chart. You can explore the products under the red Mona Vie tab. You can learn how to get this product and make money if you are interested.
I am a stay home mom as well. I was working a temp job that just wasn't concrete for me, I needed something that I could do that was for sure. We had a friend invite us to a tasting and we heard all about Mona Vie and the benefits and how we can make money. We have been in this business for 1 month now, and already make money. It's a wonderful company that wants everyone to succeed and make money that they offer incentives all the time. My husband told me not to look for a job anymore that I would be working on Mona Vie, talking to people and sharing our experiences with.
If you are interested, let me know. Take care and God Bless!

Well you'll get plenty of recruiters for MLM's and that sort with this question. I personally do not like the MLM's and that type of thing but some people love them.

You said you are working now? Is there anyway you can telecommute? Working from home is hard, especially if you have little ones and some companies may not allow it.

What are some things you like to do? Can you freelance work of some kind? Babysitting is also an option.

Good luck to you.

I took my Mary Kay business full time when my twins were about that age. I have a website that most of my customers order from or I have my local customers come to me. Technically, with the website, there's no work that you need to do other than fill the orders and see they arrive at the correct location. Most times that is just a quick trip to the post office. The benefits with this company are truly amazing and not something that should just quickly be snubbed away. If you're interested in learning about all the fabulous benefits, please let me know.

I work from home full time and out of a company of 400 I am the ONLY one that works from home. To find a legit work from home job is hard and most (like me) hang on to them as long as we can. With that said, there ARE good work from home jobs out there but they are few and far between. If my company every hires I will for sure let you know. My job is not glamorous and I could be making MUCH, much more if I worked out of the home. But I'm with my kids and that's whats most important to me now. With that said. On the side, I also sell Scentsy. Its been a wonderful financial addition to the salary I make at home and it doesn't take me away from my family. I work when I want to and its easy. If you want any other information on this please let me know. I'd be more than happy to share it with you. You can visit my website and I have a blog as well. Message me if you want more info! Best of luck to you and your family!
