Does it exist?

Good times or bad, parents always have a hard time paying for someone watching their children. That is why you have a contract and stick to it. If they do not pay, you are not doing a job, you are volunteering. Our state licensing office (michigan) had examples of a contract that one could write for day care. It has been many years so I don't remember what that clause was. I only had one person that did not pay and that was for only a week and they were gone. Don't look at the gloom. Look at the opportunity. I asked God what I should do when I did all of these jobs. Medical transcription worked for a while, it made enough for a down payment on a home for us. Day care worked for a while, it allowed me to watch my nephew and some really sweet kids for nice families and I was able to pay heat, utilities, and put food on the table. Working with my husband in his office worked for a while. We turned a business around in six months that was loosing money. I cleaned homes in Florida with a friend for apartment complexes. That was fun - roaches and all - but they let us take the kids with us and we home schooled while we cleaned. I did draft drawings for an engineering company while my mom watched our daughter. Tried to sell encyclopedias, key word tried. Earned a free set though so it was worth it. Attended school for medical transcription in between husband working at home, mom taking chemotherapy, and home schooling. A dyslexic person learning medical transcription. Took the highest grade in my classes and no one has ever been able to beat it. There is something out there for you no matter what is happening around you. You will look back on this time and be thankful for where it has taken you. Put your hand and heart in God's care and fly to new heights. Bottom line is my daughter was learning right along side of us and she is not afraid to start up her own business. Isn't that what makes our country great.

Thanks for you input! My soon to be father in law recommended the medical transcriptionist to me. I did a search for it and no results came up. If something did "pop up" it was some type of company looking for money to do a program, etc. I am also looking in to doing a daycare service, my problem is that a lot of people in my area (I'm in VA) are losing jobs left & right and more moms are staying at home with their kids to avoid paying for daycare themselves. There are a lot of home daycares in my area so the option is there for me to do so but at the same not because of "competition" on rates. My soon to be sister in law watches a couple kids and her number one complaint was the parents inability to pay her on time. She went almost 3 weeks before one couple paid her because they "didn't have the money". Its a tough economy out there and why I myself am searching for options.

I look forward to mylot. I was skeptical at first but read a lot of reviews and people defending the site when it was called a scam. I don't expect to be a millionaire doing things of this nature but I hope that by reading other's posts & discussing things with other people that I may feel better and find something to help our family get by. I know everyone is "hurting" right now and times are tough. I just wish moms & dads as well as other people who stay at home had more options when it came to work...

yes it would be really comfortable if we find something genuine from which we can make some money even by sitting at home. yes mylot is a good site and i have heard of that it is existing from a long time and few years and i myself have got paid from mylot about three times and i trust mylot and yes you can also trust mylot and reach the payout and hence get paid and it is really a good feeling when we get paid.

Ice, I said this in my post on the next page but I'll say it again. I am in an affiliate program where I know someone making good money. I am not there but I know they are legit and they are BBB accredited and have been for 9 years. There are some really great helpful people on there. If you are determined and dedicated, you can do it, but you really need to put your mind to it and realize that nothing is going to happen overnight. If you stay focused and motivated, you can do well.

you will have to let me know how this goes! I wouldn't mind doing reviews. Honestly, I am for doing just about anything as long as there isn't a price tag attached to it that I have to pay for and will seriously pay.

You need to earn $50 to get paid (they do paypal). I haven't got there yet, because I'm not focused enough to do it everyday. I don't think it's unreasonable to get to that goal within a week though. You should check out their website. I have a link on my profile.

I'm sorry to hear you have lost a lot of money in this. I know I want to believe there is such a thing, and I've gotten some response on here on some sites I am going to look into. That is one thing that if I find right now (and I know its going to be hard since times are tough) I want to share with others with true testimonies and proof that its legit. There are too many scams out there and I know I don't like paying for something that I'm not benefiting off of.

Our daycare centers in my area are horrible. My daughter will be 8 months in just a couple days and they were wanting an arm and a leg to watch her. The worst thing about it was the daycare center near my home, well the couple near my home have HORRIBLE reviews. One center was doubling kids up in cribs that weren't stable. A couple cribs being used were on the verge of breaking. A lot of mothers are trying to take legal action against them. I have been to the WAHM.com site before and they had a couple survey sites I tried. My biggest problem I have found with those was I didn't "qualify" to do the survey and then it didn't pay. Instead I was entered into a sweepstake. I'll have to check into the the Quicktate. My biggest thing is I want to find people similar to myself who have done the work and have received pay for it so I in turn know its legit! Thanks for your info!
