A Good Stay at Home Job.

I babysit out of my home during the day. I watch 2 separate families on different days of the week. It doesn't bring in a lot of money, but it helps pay the bills!
I know a few moms who do sell Tupperware, Pampered Chef, and Stampin' Up to help bring in income. Those types of jobs are nice, because your hours are really flexible; you can do parties on weekends or in the evenings when your husband is home to be with the kids.

I use skills to earn a little money on the side (sewing, cooking, baking, etc...). But if you don't have something specific you're good at that could earn you money, try www.elance.com. If you're serious about earning some money, this site has jobs galore in several different categories that are specifically designed for someone working remotely. It will take some time to get yourself set up with the site, and you'll have to remember that it's just like applying for a job, but I'm sure you can find something that you're qualified for and that you can do. These jobs are legitimate, and the site has been featured on quite a few talkshows (like Oprah, Dr. Phil, etc...). And there's no up front cost to it. You don't have to buy products to sell, pay a fee to get your "business" started, it's not MLMs. You would be "hired" and working for an actual company for each job you do. It can't hurt to take a look, right?

what about getting your GED first? that will help greatly towards getting you on the road to a good job... having two small children at home limits your options as well because (to me anyway) there is no sense in working if all your money is going to go to childcare.... but perhaps if you got started on your GED, that would be a path to a better job and/or career.

I work part time and fill in extra hours with some bookkeeping from home... it is nice and flexible. with just a couple classes at a local junion college, you can make a pretty decent amount of money... when really a lot of it isn't more complicated than keeping a checkbook. if you have basic organizational skills, it isn't too much more than that.

and just my two cents on those social/sales jobs like mary kay, scrap-booking, etc. it is actually quite difficult to make real money doing those... its one thing if you have a lot of contacts and are very out-going... but really while i realize they are legitimate businesses, they also have weird income schemes and some are just legal pyramid type scams... just be careful and do your homework if you opt for one of those types of businesses.

You could also try mary kay. If you are interested in that you could contact me and i can give you more info. Its a great oppertunity you can do in you spare time.
