LookingForDresses asked:
I had a baby almost 10 months ago, and I went back to work after a 1 month maternity leave. Thus far, aside from having to put her in daycare, everything seems to be ok. However. I always have a great desire to stay at home and take care of her. When I’m at work I think about her and how I want to quite my job. What is there for a mom to do where she can stay at home to care for her child, while still making enough money to support her family. I have a college degree too, so I don’t want to put that on the back burner. What do you Stay-at-Home Moms do? This is a great source of stress for me. Please help!

I found out the hard way the only way to go is direct marketing because it allows me to not work so hard and still spend time with my baby. Good Luck! Jennifer

Well it might help if we knew what your college education was in…Although with little training Bookkeepers can make great money because small business don’t want to be bothered…you can set your own hours, but you have to have some training…

I have found several legitimate work at home sites so far, and I made $900+ in December, $700+ in January, over $850 last month, and about $1,900 so far in March. They are free to join.
Please click my screen name or avatar for more information and a link for proof of payment.
And by the way–never join a work at home program that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn’t need to charge you.

Oh my gosh! I know exactly how you feel. I’m a mother of two and worked in the corporate world for years before I realized that I wanted and needed more out of life. I was missing out on so much and wanted something that would give me time and financial freedom to spend quality time with them and do the things that we’ve always wanted. I wish that I could say this is when I found Arbonne. But the truth is, this is when Arbonne found me! I attended a presentation at my cousin’s home who was experiencing the same feelings as I (and you) and learned about the health and wellness company, the amazing products, and a business opportunity that would allow us both to be home with our families and still provide financial security. We both decided to do the business and it’s been going very well!! It’s very rewarding, fulfilling, really easy, and has truly blessed our lives. The averages range from $300/month at the lowest level to $30K/month being a top earner. The great thing is, everyone has an equal opportunity to move all the way up to the top. My sponsor was a preschool teach two years ago and now makes well over $150K/ a MONTH! If you’re interested in learning more, I’ll be happy to help you. Here’s some info:

How about Purse party? You only go out a couple times a week and do parties. Well you do then as often or little as you want. This weekend I had 2 parties and made $200.

If you are looking for a home job to immediately replace your current income, your best bet is to try negotiating a work from home arrangement with your currently employer. There are some companies that hire customer service agents to work from home, but pay typically starts around $8 per hour and availability is limited. If you possess a specialized skill, such as programming, web design, or technical writing, you may be able to land a few temporary freelance projects. If you have any interest in a home based business, direct sales, internet/affiliate marketing, and MLM/network marketing all offer legitimate opportunities to supplement your current income.

I know how you feel !!! I went back to work after my first and just like you said everything seems to go fine and I liked the home daycare she was in but just wanted to be home with her. I knew I wanted another and couldn’t go back to work with two. My Mary Kay consultant told to me about the Mary Kay opportunity and I said no thank you sales is not for me. a year later nothing had changed except my mind. I say divine intervention telling me to give it a try. I am so glad I did I was able to quit my Job at a fortune 500 company and stay home with my children. Mary Kay gives me flexibility and financial freedom. I have made great friends and grown personally as well as professional. It was the best decision to give it a try. I would be happy to share any facts answer any specific question pressure free !!! One of the reasons I decided to give it a try was my consultant didn’t pressure me she just gave me the fats so i could make an educated decision. I wish you tons of luck with whatever you choose !!!

I sell home interiors from my home its great i get to set my own hours and work from home!! You make your own paycheck..if you want a little extra money…book extra shows that week. I enjoy being able to take family vacations without having to worry about taking vacation time! You get your paycheck after you have a show. So you don’t have to wait to get your money. IT only cost me $99 to join. I made that back my first week! Money is not the only benefit they offer. Every month when you reach a certain selling level you get diamond certificates and at the end of the year you cash them in for diamonds and what women doesn’t love diamonds! you can also earn trips to the Bahamas and cruises. Plus some months we have specials where if you earn so much and hold so many shows they give you cash bonuses! AWESOME!!! If this sounds like something your interested in just let me know id be glad to help or even send you some extra information! I love staying at home and making money..my husband loves it too! Plus I meet lots of great people and make lots of great friends! my email is if you have any more ?’s and if interior decorating isn’t for you i know great websites that you can find other great businesses where you can work from home!
