Working from home.

Hey ladies. Does anyone work from home? I have been babysitting but the little girl started school. I am looking for a new gig. I want to stay home but make some extra cash. I am not looking to "invest" into any deals. I don't have any extra cash.
Thanks!

  • I do, I'm a freelance editor. I mostly work for an online erotic book site, but I have done some other editing. I've also been a teaching assistant for am online college.

  • Teaching assistant!!! That's a good idea. I will look into it. I do have my bachelors degree. I don't know if I would be a good editor. I don't have the best grammar skills. Thanks!

  • I'm a translator, but that obviously requires excellent language skills in at least 2 languages, so I don't know if that's an option for you. I also taught ESL, so my class time wasn't at home but most of my prep time was. 
    However, there are very few jobs that you can do from home WHILE watching your baby/toddler. I know I can't do mine when I'm watching the girls except for a rare few moments when they get involved with something for a stretch and I have a chance to work a bit. Those moments can't be counted on, though, and it's certainly not enough for any significant work to get done.

  • I'm a nanny. I know it can be hard to find a family you connect with, buy why not stick with childcare if you already have the experience?

  • Thanks ladies. I just interviewed for a babysitting job. I think it might work out. I really appreciate all the feedback!
