Needing my own money

I’m o so grateful I’ve been able to stay home with my baby. But it has been. Struggle not having my own money. I really need some extra money and I would love a work from home job. But it’s so hard to find one. I’m qualified for absolutely nothing. I live in an area that any job that might have a work from home deal seems to ask to live elsewhere where. Before my baby I had a job that paid minimum wage. I didn’t make a lot of money so going back to that job and paying for daycare was silly. Daycare cost more than what I made. So me staying home made alot more sense. And I love being home. I want to stay home. Id like to stay home until my baby turns 2 and then put him somewhere. He’s going to be one soon. I just ran out of my own money.

Consider watching someone's else's child in your home (or theirs if they're ok with it) or running a small daycare. As long as you will pass a background check and have reliable transportation, it's possible. You can make a profile on care.com or similar site or network with other moms at the park. If you can't find work from home in your area, it's a problem for other people too. You can solve a problem for yourself and someone else. If you can't pay for daycare, be a daycare! 😀 You could also do nights and weekends babysitting while your partner is home if you just need a little extra money or don't want the time commitment.

You could also apply to work at a daycare. Many will give you a reduced placement fee, and you'll still get to be near your child during the day.

You can do online courses maybe consider becoming a nail tech

Do you not have access to family funds?

Nanny, drop shipping, Etsy, stocks/bonds. So many things you can do low effort on the side!
