Try going through a temporary or placement agency. officeteam, westaff, corestaff, etc... They may have companies requesting work from home data entry/admin type jobs. That would be the most ligitimate place to start. Best Wishes!

Check out the forum workplacelikehome.com they have great legitimate leads for work at home jobs. Check out ChaCha or KGB.com I currently work for both of them, and while the pay isn't great, you get to set your own schedule.

If you are looking for some extra cash, look into a GPT site. I use TreasureTrooper, and made 60$ with it last month. I did it while watching TV and unwinding at night. If you want to check it out go to www.treasuretrooper.com/minella

if you are good at writing, check out demand Studios or Text Broker. Also, check out Associated Content.

If you would be interested blogging for money I would recommend joining the program "The Niche Blogger". Amy, the owner of the site make over $5,000 with her Niche Blogs and she shows you how you can do it step-by-step. I am on my first month and absolutely love what I am doing. The link for it is http://www.thenicheblogger.com/amember/go.php?r=3549&... She even offers a free 3 day trial to see if you like it. I know you probably don't want to spend money to work, but she has a great method.

If you are good with children, you can always do in-home childcare. Just check your state regulations, and see what is required for you to do it. If you have any questions about any of this I would be happy to answer them.

Good luck and hope any of this helps.

I am an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay and I love what I do.

Another option I can think of is doing a kids camp at your house. When my oldest was just under 2, I used to take her to a kids camp at someone's house once a week from 9-12. The kids had some play time, craft time, story time, lunch, and then some more play time while parents came to pick up the kids. For this 3 hour slot I paid $15. The lady running the kids camp only had 5 kids and her child... so just a max of 6 kids in the house. If there was a child going through potty training, she would help keep the child on whatever schedule the parent had them on. The kids brought their crafts home each week, and lunch was simply things like a grilled cheese sandwich and grapes, nuggets and fries, or one of those Totino pizzas... nothing major and easy for her to make quickly. I think her age range was 18 months - 3 years 11 months... so all young children.

I was so productive during the 3 hour time slot! And I can't find anyone doing a half day kids camp. So if this is something you decide to do... let me know! I have 2 kids that I can bring over to you!

Hi T.,

I launched a product 3 months ago and started taking on affiliates in January and they made between $200 and $1,000 over the month of January (it varies depending how much you want to work). It is designed at lowering people's stress levels and my target group are mothers between the ages of 28-48. You work when you want, from where you want, and there is no investment on your part. The web site is www.stompstressaway.com so feel free to check it out. If you are seriously interested in becoming an affiliate, please email me back here and we can set up a time to talk.
Regards,
C. B., Ph.D.

Most work from home options are ridiculous and nearly impossible. Here are a few things that won't make lots right away but gradually add up: 1) Think about starting a blog about a topic you enjoy, where you can earn money from google ads. 2) I also use: http://savingsangel.com/amember/go.php?r=29513&i=l1 it allows me to save tons on a my grocery bill and they pay you when friends and family sign up.
Good Luck.

I'm thinking about doing this too, so let me know if you're interested and we can go to a presentation together. I've been to one presentation and am trying to find time to get my husband to one before I decide to join in.

Hi, I am able to work from home for Leapforce- the website is Leapforceathome.com. It is legit- in fact, it is kind of hard to get the job, but once you get it, you can work whenever you want, at least 10 hours a week. (ok, sometimes I only work 5 or 6, but I am trying! I don't want to lose the job!) It is a search engine evaluator, and it pays about $13.50/hr. I have received 4 paychecks from them. you don't pay anything to start up (you should never have to, those are always scams!) and you have to pass an open book exam too. (The exam took me about 8 hours, but they give you 4 days to take it.) Check it out and good luck!

I have tried so many ways to earn income- eBay, Melaleuca, etc. The best thing I can recommend is finding a way to babysit... I hope you find something soon! I understand your desire. It took me two years to be able to stay home. Things are still tight for us, but it is so worth it!

I don't know if this is an option for you or not, but I bring in at least $1000 a month doing this. I am a certified personal trainer (there are lots of avenues out there for acquiring yours - i used AFFA) and so I offer a bootcamp 2 mornings a week at 5:30 am. So, I am home by 6:30 am before my kids are even awake and I didn't have to have a babysitter because my husband is still home at that time. It's great for us and may be something you could look in to?

Have you thought about doing day care? I personally did it for my sister for 3 years. It worked great for us. One of the positive things was that my kids had another child to play with. I charged the rate that her day care normally charged (about $100 for 40 hours) - you could call around and get what daycares charge now.

My nephew went everywhere with us, so I was not tied down and I was not needing to find a way to entertain my kids while I worked. I even know of some ladies that do day care in their home that don't have kids at home.
