Thank you for your Information, it's really good information. It's very helpful for every one. Legitimate work-from-home jobs available right now! I have two basic tips for working from home: 1. Plan your day (or even better, plan your week) in advance. 2. Focus on earning money. Spend part of your day doing activity that will directly put cash in your pocket. You can’t build forever.

I am an ESL teacher for VIPKid and I love it! I can work as much or as little as I like depending on what I have going on each week. The curriculum is already made by the company and the kids are eager to learn. All you need is a bachelor's degree. Any kind of experience working with kids is great too. It was an answer to my prayers when I found this job last year and I feel so great being able to make money and be at home with my kids.

I am currently a stay at home Mom and have been searching for almost two years for the right position. I have found a couple positions with Flexjobs but none have offered a "steady income". I am searching for a position that would allow flexible work hours but be guaranteed. I am looking for something that would utilize my 10 years of experienced in Human Resources field, customer service, data entry, payroll, employee benefits etc.

Great List of stay at home mom jobs! Another great one to add would be fitness coach. It allows you to work your own hours. What do you think about "contracting" jobs like this?

I have been a truck driver for the last 5 years,but I miss my 2 boys more than I can even begin to express.Also we just found out that my mother has early onset Alhtiemzer and as you guess she has been the one helping me out with my boys. I have been homeschooling from the road (via laptop,printer,ipad, iphone,oovoo, facertime, ect.) In order for me to take care of my family financially comfortably I have had to stay out here away from the ones that mean the most. Before this I started up a daycare for 3yrs and before children I was a construction worker and everything under the sun during all my off-seasons. I am coming off the road here in about a month,I would like to have a job that enables me to be HOME with my babies to home school and of course take care of my mother. I would like to not be totally broke,or be so busy making an income that I dont have time for my kids. That would be redundant. I am more than well aware that there are even more sacrifices coming. I am intrested in learning how to become a freight broker seeing as how I already know the business, but I'm not above any jobs that feed my babies. I LOVE my job,but I LOVE my boys more! If you have ALL suggestions or advice please feel free to send it ASAP! Good Night and Thank You for listening!

I am a first time mom with a 3 week old. My maternity leave ends in 5 weeks, and I want to cry when I think of going back to work. I would love to work from home. I have 10 years experience in education as a teacher, administrator, professional development coordinator, and my current position math coach. I also have an MBA. I'm looking for something full time so I can stay home and raise my baby girl.
