If you are stay at home mome do you have a home job that earns you money. I have been a stay at home mom for 10 months now and I refuse to hire a sitter for my daughter. all the horror stories that I have heard are very scary. Also in my home town hiring a sitter means going to work and then giving my entire sallary to pay for the sitter. Its just not worth it. Are you doing anything worth while? It would be nice if there were more jobs that can be done from home especially for mothers. It would be very convenient. If you know of any can you please share???

I don't necessarily have a work from home "job" but I do have a super easy way to make some extra cash. I started doing surveys about two months ago and I've made a couple of hundred bucks easy so far. They are legitimate survey companies and absolutely FREE to join. You just take a few minutes while you're online to answer some questions about products you use and such. I even use a site that gives me free samples.
The surveys are short, and you only do the ones you want to do. They don't even send you any junk mail. There are many survey companies out there and I only do the ones that I feel are truly worthwhile.
I'd be happy to share these sites with you if you're interested in making some extra money. You won't get rich, but even twenty bucks extra could be great gas money.
Anyone who is interested in these survey sites, just pm me and I'll show you the ones that have worked best for me.

I am a stay at home, work from home Mom. I truly understand your desire to stay at home with your daughter and your fears of daycares. When my daughter was very small and before my son was born I babysat for a few people. The money was great but many people tend to take advantage of in home babysitters. So you have to be firm from the start with the parents about drop off times and pick up times, etc. I have also been scammed quite a few times in my search for the perfect work from home job. I have lost over a thousand dollars and do not want to see another mother go through that. I can not stress enough, "If it sounds too good to be true, it IS." On the other hand, I have found some legitimate opportunities. You will not get rich, but you will make a little extra money. I think Ebay is awesome! You just need to be careful about taking into consideration the Ebay fees, PayPal fees, shipping costs,etc. to make sure you make a profit on your listing. Right now I have a Vera Bradley bag up for auction that I paid $1 for at a thrift store. So far it is up to $22.50! I am very happy about that! I also make my own soy wax tarts that I sell online, at the flea market, etc. I am also a member of several other sites I recommend. If you are interested in hearing about those, I will happily PM you some information. Good Luck!candlelovinmom

Hi and thank you for your response. I also do Ebay. I have been with Ebay for several years. However there is more and more compettion and its getting harder and harder to make any profit. Also Ebay has become more difficult to work with with all their rules and also their fees. I have lost one account with already for no reason I had over 1000 feedback that I worked so hard for. Anyway, I would love to hear about the several sites. I know I can't make much but a little here and there does add up. Right now I am very interested in this site called review stream but for some reason when I write the review it doesn't take it , it gives me an error message. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Well I hope to hear from you. Its nice that we can help eachother out!
