Hey S.!

I totally know where you’re coming from. I am 25 years old myself and I have four children, 3 boys and one little girl. They are truly everything to me so putting them in daycare has been one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do.
After I had my daughter, I knew that enough was enough and it was time for me to find a way home. I searched for months trying to find something that fit my lifestyle and schedule. I wanted a company that had good solid morals, a strong background and promising future. I did not want to have to sell products or collect inventory. I was very leery of all the promises and hype that I saw. Being a mother of four and still working full time outside of the home I had to find something that I could fit into my already busy schedule. I prayed for a way out and was lead to my team and company. Honestly, it has been everything I have hoped for. It's perfect for me, no selling, stocking or delivering anything! I educate people on the toxins in their home and the potential risk their family may be in and show them an alternative. It’s extremely rewarding especially since I have seen fantastic results within my own family’s health! My eczema, my son’s asthma – the results have been awesome. I can work when I choose to around the important things in my life. I can be home with my children and still make a great income.
I am looking to expand my local team (I live in East Moline) and would love to chat with you. Feel free to check out my website and request more information and I'll share the details of what I do. Honestly, this may or may not be for you and that's okay. I am looking for determined, hard working, reliable individuals to join my team who are ready to make a real change in their lives financially and emotionally. If you are that person, or you know someone who fits that description, I encourage you to check out my website.

From mom to mom, I wish you the best of luck in your search!!

God Bless,
K. F.

There is a company that does at home work. If you go to www.west.com and sign up to be a at home worker. They take calls for things like QVC or pizza hut or donations for disaster releaf. All you have to have is the internet and a land phone line. You can work 24 hrs a day, so you can work around your childs schedule. If you just read it will explain everthing, also it will give you all the programs you need, that way you don't have to buy anything.

Hi S.,
I am a stay at home mom as well with 2 little ones. I wanted to stay at home with my girls but also needed to make a income. I never thought I would ever be interested in direct sales but I have been a consultant with The Body Shop at Home sence the end of Aug. and to tell you the truth I love it! On average you tend to make $25-$50 an hour with the option of bonuses depending on how much you want to devote to your business. It is a really great opportunity. If you would like to know more about it let me know I am always willing to talk to anyone about this amazing oportunity. Hope this helps:)

Do you want to strictly stay home to do it, or would you be willing to set your own schedule and get out of the house a few nights a week? I am a Signature Homestyles consultant and we sell beautiful products. It is fun, it allows you to be your own boss and make an income that you want. You get to put your family first. Our company is all about family. It is filled with people that are amazing. You can check out some of our products at www.signaturehomestyle.com and if you think that you may be interesteed in possibly becoming a representative, let me know. I can send you a catalog and some information to help you get started. It is a lot of fun, and like I said before, it allows you to set your own schedule. The average party earns you $100. So think about that. $100 for an hour and a half of your time. Think about it, check out the website.
Are you interested in scrapbooking at all? Let me know if you are and I can get in touch with a friend of mine and she can send you information on Creative Memories. I was a consultant, but am recently deactivated. I am having a terrible time finding new customers in my town. There are already 6 other consultants here, and that is a lot. I have a great passion for photography and making albums, but I can't seem to find others that are. Uugh anyhow. So if either one of these things sound like something that might strike your fancy, let me know. Thanks and have a fabulous day.

If you are looking for a job, there is a great resource I found on my space....

http://www.myspace.com/wanttoworkathome
The gal that has this page has a bunch of websites that offer jobs at home, though you will still have to research the companies to make sure they are all legit.

Also, I work at home, and help others to do so to, but it is a home business opportunity not a job opportunity. I think you may have requested information thru my website
( http://www.nebraskamom.com ), but I was unable to reach you using the phone number you gave.

If you're still interested I would like to give you the info so you can decide for yourself if its something you'd like to do.

Let me know--###-###-####

Hi S.

I know is may be too late..I am a new member to this forum :o)
However, I wanted to share a great resource I tumbled upon that posts real work from home jobs with real companies.
The website is sohojobs.org
They also post the "scams". So, if there is a job you have found and you are wondering if it is a scam, you can go to sohojobs.org and check the "scam listings" if it is not there, you can ask the moderator to research it for you.

This has been a great help for me as I wanted to supplement our household income.
i have been hired by several companies and find this to be very rewarding.
You apply directly to the company who is hiring and you get paid by them!

If you have questions, please let me know. I will help in anyway I can.

It is a great forum. I encourage you to take a look and also sign up for their newsletter.

Hope this helps ~

Check out KGb.com or ChaCha.com. They are both legit work at home jobs, pay is ok for being at home. I can make about 2-3$ per hour without really trying. You can set your own schedule.

Also, a great way to make money is the GPT site called Treasure Trooper. Check it out at http://www.treasuretrooper.com/minella
I have made 50$ this month, but there are people who have made 200-300$ doing it. If you have any questions about any of this message me, and I will be happy to answer.

Best thing about all of these is that it costs nothing to join. All you do is make money, not spend it.

I know that situation all too well. What are some things you enjoy doing that could become a product or service you could provide? I've done babysitting, part-time work at my church and two other business in my town, I've retailed baskets, and now Cosmetics and I work with my mom on a local business.
It does't always benefit your family to work out side the home because childcare cost eat most of your income. Its also much more enjoyable to be with your kids and raise them as you value. Just look at yourself more closely, your talents and what you have done in the past. How could you help people and with that, help your family? Some thing to think about. : D

I was trying to find the same thing myself. Everytime I look into one you have to pay out money. Doesn't make much sense. Other than selling Avon, Mary Kay or something like that I don't see too many oppurtunities.

answers from Casper on

Maybe you should go online and check out divine romance. You would be a consultant. It takes about $250 to start but they send you alot of stuff to get started. It does include selling adult toys and lotions and things like that. But you would host private partys. I dont know if it is something you would be interested in. But they are alot of fun, you make your own hours and earn money. Some women do it full time which is only 3 to 4 hours a day plus partys and bring in $2000.00 a month.
