I am in a real predictament right now. I am the mother of 2 beautiful children (3 & 17 months) and I don't have a job. I really can't afford daycare for them so I'm stuck trying to find some type of work at home job. For about a month now I've been searching the internet everyday for those legit work-at-home opportunities, but I've had no luck. Bills are coming up and I really need to find something pretty fast now. Those pay-per-click sites don't pay enough money for me to survive. I need a real work-at-home job that will allow me to make enough money to at least be able to pay my bills and save up to put my kids in daycare. That way I'll be able to get a regular job outside of the home. If you have any ideas or websites that I should look into please share them with me. Thank you!

I have one website that helped me a lot. A year and a half ago I was let go from my job suddenly before Christmas. I was so distraught that I complained to a good friend who lives across the country. She too as a mom who homeschooled her only child so working outside the home was not an option. She told me to visit this website which is a full-service website started by a work at home mom for other work at home moms. She has a number of job postings for telecommuting jobs and just by networking with other work at home moms, you may be able to find a way to earn extra money without having to leave home. the website is www.wahm.com and I highly recommend it. Good luck!.

I am sorry that you are going through this. I make and sell candles at www.c3candles.com I am the owner. I have sales reps under me making an extra $ 100-$ 800 a month. Just depends on how well you work it. You make 25% off each sale. There is no money involved with you coming in. All you do is send people to my website and order and put your name in the order. It's really easy. You are more than welcome to contact me through here or my website if you want to know more. I am a real legitimate business and you get paid when you want. I am easy going with no quotas. I would love to help you out if you wish. Just contact me. Thanks Christina

With the little ones, you might want to look into doing home daycare. It'll be hard because your kids are so young, but maybe you can get a couple of kids after school or something? Good luck!

If you are really about building long-term online income streams, and would like an all round comprehensive training, as well as an extremly professional system that you can harness to start making an income, then you really need to check out Profit lance. I have recently joined their program and I highly recommend it. Their program has an unbelieveably huge range of information, projects, training moduals and resources for you to learn how to create your own multiple income streams on the internet. If you would like to learn more you can check out the website here: http://krisbiz7.netsalaries.com/ If you would like any further information dont hesitate to ask... Good luck

Woa, your situation is really very bad. Well, I'd advise you to ask for help of a friend to take care of the children. Writing can earn you good money, the enough to survive... But you must be good at it. This kind of website won't pay you enough to survive, and I'm sorry about that. If you know how to draw, you could draw people and sell them their own drawing for U$ 2.50. You could make Tricots and this kind of stuff. There are many ways, but just to let you know that I know of no one that got a future with this kind of job. I mean, it doesn't earn you a lot of money... What about the father of these children? Where is he? Be careful, don't get yourself another son. Hope to have helped.

Great! you have open your predicament to us. I observe a lot of people here in mylot are suggesting you some sort of ideas having the heart to help in some ways. In my side, all the best I can recommend is the time-sentive offer of $5 for someone whom you could bring up in the site. I'm sorry I can't give you some assurance because this was just referred also by our friends here in mylot. I think nothing would be lost if we try to. I put it on my site homepage http://www.freebiztraffic.com as the site of the month. Hope this would be a way to help you.

I am sorry that I do not know of anything very helpful. My best guess would be like others doing home day care. I have a friend that does this and she makes pretty good money. I hope that things go better for you. Good luck!
