I work from home about once a week (health communications with CDC) and I have a few friends that have at home businesses. Some work for companies doing technical assistance at home, others work at home doing Mary Kay or Scentsy. I would love to have the chance to work at home full-time. Best of luck!

I manage an in home picture framing business and live behind the store. I essentially work in exchange for our rent but it's really flexible. I stumbled upon the position four months after LO was born. I love it but there are days when I miss being able to leave my house and go to an office.
I'm a sales director for a recruiting agency. As long as i have my phone with me and can respond to emails in a timely fashion it doesn't matter where I am. LO stays home with me which is awesome, when I have outside appts she goes to a family members house or I get a sitter.
Thanks for your advice. I'm actually thinking about starting a business as a private tutor (I have a phd in science and I know I could teach high school math and science). If you have any tips on starting a business I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Starting a business (if you have a good one) is the best way to give yourself a good income and flexibility (assuming you put hard work into it).
