One outstanding way for a mom to make a good living working at home is to do what you are already very good at doing. That is being a mom but do it for a living. Becoming a mom is a natural transition that seems to make moms and dads suddenly love children when they may not have been so enamored of them before they had their own. That nesting instinct you have as a mom is something that you share with other moms. It naturally spills over if you watch the children of friends at church or when they come over for playgroup.
This is why one of the easiest work at home jobs a mom can set up is to perform some very basic daycare services for friends and people who need a safe and nurturing environment for their children to be in while they work or attend to other duties. Now, the line between simple babysitting and a daycare is fuzzy but important. You could fairly easily do babysitting for friends and even sit for the same “customers” each day and get paid a good wage for it and never set up a formal daycare.
The distinction may be whether you offer your services to the public or not. It’s a good distinction to be aware of because setting up a day care is a good deal more complicated and expensive. You enter into issues of licensing, inspections, permits and you would probably have to incorporate your home business into a formal business. But you can offer childcare services as an informal babysitter and reap all of the rewards without all of that fuss as long as you use networking to find your “customers”.
