Hi. I know this question has been posted many times, but wondering if you moms know of any work from home positions. I'm not interested in selling. Hope you guys have some great ideas.
I have 3 kids, one in afternoon kindergarten and one in morning preschool- so working part-time outside of the house during the day is nearly impossible.

Thanks in advance!!!!

I'm not sure this is doeable with your schedule, but I'm a working mom and I have a mom who helps me with things like, light laundry, light cleaning, errands, etc. All the stuff on the 'to do' list by Friday that I don't have the energy to do. Even dog walking-cuz you could take your kids with you.

You could advertise on Care.com or Craigslist as a mommy's helper type of thing.

There are very few online JOBS that will either give you flexibility or a decent income for the time you put in. Most legitimate things online are businesses of various types. I have a work at home business that I do part time around my 3 kids and their various activities and my home daycare. I don't do parties, or sell, stock, deliver products or collect money.
Let me know if you are interested, simply go to my website,

Call your local park districs.
They offer several classes that they need people to be involved with.
They are also open for new ideas to offer at the parks. Several are for kids like paitning classes , gym , read along time, cooking , etc..They have several evening classes available other then day time.
Several parks do not post their openings unless it is office related.
They are always looking to new classes . ideas, to offer. It brings revenue to the township as well as the park!
I went and was certified as a Zumba instructor invested the money on a 2day class and called the parks in my area to teach. They were excited to have the call and offer something new. They also paid for my certification to be CPR certified.
I can work 1,2,3,4 or 5 -4 days or evenings for 1 hour class. The pay is excellent although no benefits included. I am able to work 8 hours a month be with my lil girl 3yrs old in the day and enjoy some evening time with adults! Good Luck

Think outside the box..... do something you like.. and something you are good at.

All the MLM's will hit you up here for the get rich quick ut beware.

I personally hire moms from home to help me when I am busy enough for 2. If you are into mumbers and accounting.... go to an accounting site and look for temp. That is where I hire from to help me with invoicing, etc. NO I AM NOT close to a MLM type business.... we are in raw materials and have been in it 25 yrs, therefore we have the networking, etc.

Network, think outside the box and you can come up with something!

Dear K.,

I thought just like you and still do. When the product is authethic the compassion far exceeds any feeling of selling!

Like you K., I had never met the person who introduced me to my home based biz but I was only a phone call away from something that dramatically changed my life physicallly and fiscally. Have you heard of Juice Plus+?

My passion is prevention through whole food and K., my website has a 11 minute video on it which is www.vineripejuiceplus.com and a picture is worth a thousand words.

FYI, we are all about giving people a way to have the flexibility of still being available for their children as they grow up but also giving them a purpose that touches families in a very powerful way.

K. I love your desire to create income without losing precious family time, when can we schedule some time to talk?

My very best,
C.

P.S. This is a very authentic company because the research behind our product is very authentic. We feel like the only real place to start is by studying the research. Authentic research leads to authentic product that leads to authentic people. It would be my pleasure to help you create $$$$ whatever that might look like to you.

I just started working for a company that gives me flexibility because my boys are in school full time and one part time and then the baby is home with me.
I too wasn't to sure I wanted to sell anything... But with this company I don't stock anything, I do parties and to me that isn't a job....that's a little time for adult interaction. Which at times I need. So I have a party a few times a month I go to that hostesses house and talk about the jewelry for about 20min play a game or two and that's what I get paid for. I enjoy the little time out of the house, the flexibility to work when I want and best of all............I LOVE THE JEWELRY!!!!!!! I get to wear it and the company has so many incentives to getting the jewelry free.......not only that they are all about helping sahm succeed in their business so there is a lot of support. And our group is very helpful and fun to work with.
I hope you are interested in hearing more. Please send me a message and I can give you my contact info or go to my website and read what the business is about . It will surprise you how great this company is.
