SAHM who still bring in an income!
Are there any SAHM that still manage to bring in some money? I dont mean like if your company now lets you work from home. Like something completely seperate from your previous job. And if so, what do you do? I would like to eventually contribute to our income again once I have my babies but while still being a SAHM. TIA!

Re: SAHM who still bring in an income!
I have to work PT to bring income.
Right now, I only work on weekends and sometimes I will take clients during the week in the evenings.
I don't work during the day during the week. I am with DS.
DH is with DS on weekends.

Re: SAHM who still bring in an income!
I babysat up until I was hospitalized while I was pregnant with my second baby.
One summer, I worked PT at a camp (thankfully my FIL was able to watch DS a few hours every morning).

Re: SAHM who still bring in an income!
Does unemployment count??  Sorry, that's my only REAL income right now... but serisouly, I am doing some free-lance writing online. I write for numberous companies, and get paid... not much...but I'm sure if I actually took 6 hours a day to ONLY do that, I would make a decent amount. It's about $3 for each 300 word document you write...so if you're good at writing, it def. can add up. Due to this nicer weather, I have yet to get at it again LOL. Also, you can check with some printing comapnies...that's where my husband works, and sometimes they need help stuffing envelopes and such. I go in to his job on average 2x a week right now...and it's about 10 an hour off the books... so that's a good thing as well.
HTH 
Oh, and just so you know, anything that you need to pay for online, is just a scam. Believe me, been there done that waay too often since I lost my job in Novemeber...
I'm also thinking of babysitting... maybe some people that know me already on here. I'm cheap...and I love kids....so....i just need the courage to ask LOL.
Ok, I'm done ... HAHA...

I am a freelance writer/editor. It is the same field I was in when I was working a regular job, but now I am self-employed and I work from home rather than an office.

Well, I am still working in the field I was in before, so I have some contacts.
What kind of writing do you do?

No help either, I work PT doing what I previously did. I'm just no longer FT or in management.

Re: SAHM who still bring in an income!
For those of you that said they babysat, was it for people you knew and if not how did you "advertise"?

Check out Textbroker.com... that's the main one I use...easiest to use. I have others, but they are taking a long time to get back to me. You'll have to write something for each company to see if they will accept you, and will 'grade' you.... Good luck!
