If you work part time and/or work from home...

YorkieFan · May 2010

What do you do? I need to do something to earn some extra money. I've been waitressing for a few months, but I'm just miserable where I am working right now. The manager who does the schedule is being a jerk and scheduling me when I request off for family events among other things. I need to leave there fast before I flip out on somebody. Just looking for some ideas. Thanks!

We own a small trucking business and I do the bookwork for it. So while I'm technically not making extra money, I'm saving us some with not having to hire someone to do it:)

Scroll down or go back a few pages. This gets asked often and so there are a lot of great answers from the ladies on here! Smile

I work 17 hours a week for a small business-I'm a HR Manager.

Some other ideas of companies that hire PT are hotels and retail. A friend of mine works at babies r us part time. However, she generally spends most of her paycheck there...haha.

I rent personalized yard storks to announce the birth of new babies as well as a whole variety of whimsical signs for birthdays, graduations and more. I also wrote/published a book in which I collect royalties and I also do freelance graphic designer. Good luck!

I work part time 2 evenings a week. I do billing for a trucking company. I go to work when my husband gets home and I work until 9. Then I come home and put the baby to bed. That was very important to me when I decided to work evenings. I did not want to miss bed time.

I do not make a ton of extra money since I don't work very many hours BUT it does get me out of the house with other adults and it gives me a little extra "fun" money.

I watch other children during the day. A lot of moms only need part time care, for daycare for daycare is really expensive and some place only offer full time for children under 2. I do it full time during the week,but that is only bc DS loves the other kids here and I like the extra money.

I have to say- I am super jealous (but happy for!) the women who get to do their work from home. Like if they work for a company that lets them do their job from home. Although I know it can't be easy to balance work and kids, it is a nice option.

I would watch other kids during the day but I already have two babies and one on the way. Don't know if I could handle more. Maybe when they are older!

I am trying to get a PT merchandising job. I had an interview for it last week but haven't heard back. I hope they call! It is an easy gig. All it entails is stocking the candy at Home Depot! Only 2 hours a week but that is all I want and it does offer room for more jobs as they open up, which would be nice.

I found that job on Craigslist. Also, last week I responded to a gig ad from a store fixtures company that wants to buy all the shelving/fixtures from our Office Max that is closing. So I went in and counted/measured shelves and took pictures and they paid me $75! Only took about an hour but I made DH help. It reminded us of our days working at Toys R Us, where we met

So anyway, always check CL for gigs and PT work. There are a lot of scams to pick through but the real jobs are there, too.

I wrote a blog post with ideas for some work at home jobs. Good luck!

Although I'm working full time now, the plan is to stay at home once the new baby is born. I own my own company in the fitness industry connecting people with in-home fitness products and LOVE IT! Send me a message if you'd like more info!

I do merchandising for a department store. I work two mornings a week from 6am-11am. DH's schedule rotates, so we only sometimes need to pay for childcare.

I work from home PT, for a non profit. I write training material,grant writing, and other needed projects such as their newsletter, HR tasks, etc.. I am a consultant so I sort of do what helps the company grow..

I have my own personalized jewelry business. It's great because I'm able to stay at home while still being able to bring in a *little* bit of money to the household.
