If you have typing/grammar skills, look into transcription (court reporting) in your area...they should be able to train you, some companies will, and you can make good money doing it, especially if you only have one child!!
I was doing it for four years on and off, but now I have three under four and have no time for it.
Also, Ebay selling is an awesome way to make money if you're smart about it. Go on there and look to see what kind of clothing brands, books, etc. make the most money and then go to consignment shops, goodwill, salvation army, thrift stores, etc. and buy things. You can also buy clothing in lots from craigslist, make sure you are getting a fabulous deal like maybe $1 a piece for maternity clothing and $.25-50 for baby clothing.
Maternity clothing, baby clothing and nursery decor are very good items to sell on ebay and you can make so much money doing it. I once sold a book I found at salvation army for $1, I made a $45 profit on the book within a week.

Also, mystery shopping is a great idea, but be careful of the companies online, there are a lot of people who will ask you for money beforehand...never give people money online for work, they are scam artists...you shouldn't have to pay to get a job...
Good luck!

Here is where I got s work at home job for a while. The company is West Communications. They are a very reputable company from what I've learned about them & if Customer Service work is what you like to do, if they are currently hiring, then this is a set your own schedule/days/etc kind of business.
Some of the Some of the clients they serve is Home Shopping Network, Virgin Mobile, Sears just to name a few.
there are some requirements that you need to meet, like having a high speed internet access, able to have calls routed to your home & certain computer requirements, but if your computer isn't old, it should have all the systems required (other than their proprietary ones) already installed.

Just to update the above link from George: the link had an error in it and it also didn't lead anywhere unless I had it highlighted after typing it in correctly. Yet, I was persistent because I was intrigued by this opportunity, and found the website he mentioned. It is legitimate and is very convenient for SAHM! Thanks for the info George. I have listed the acutal website link that will take you to their career opportunity page:

I am a SAHM and what I do for some extra money is clean houses. I only clean for a few family members and a friend. I do one house (sometimes two) a week and bring my son/sons with me. I do not make a ton of money but its enough to buy groceries plus put cash in my wallet that I don't have to ask my hubby for or feel guilty when I want a pedicure or new purse:)

Answer 6

If you have marketable skills such as web design, writing, Internet Marketing, accounting, etc, you could work as a freelancer.

The phone operator job that someone mentioned is a good thing as well. Many reputable companies such as JetBlue use those in the US.

I work at home with my 4 kids. Have made decent money, in fact just got paid today. I own my own travel business, I get commissions, free hotel rooms, and haven't gone on a cruise yet, but get up to 70% off when I do decide to go. It's fun, and my husband is involved as well.
