Home Based Business Ideas for Moms

by Amy on August 8, 2011

The idea for this article is to provide opportunity, resources and ideas to those moms who want to be a stay at home mom. Have you had a home based job before? Are you currently employed? Do you want to earn an income at home while you raise your children?

My idea before kids was to go to college and find a decent job that I enjoyed making decent money. Well, I live in rural area and after college I didn’t find a job that payed worth a darn or that I enjoyed.

That baffled me…I mean I went to school for six years, received four different degrees, a  Bachelors and three Associates, paid all that money into tuition and college expenses and didn’t really come out where I had anticipated I would be. My work ethic, determination, motivation and drive I believe are all above average, I have a college education, work experience so how hard can it possibly be??? When I worked full time I basically paid for daycare, gas, and groceries.

This was very disappointing to me, I was working for nothing and watching my baby grow without my care. Until one day I had had enough! I began researching ways that I could develop a home based business to stay at home with my child. So it became, through much hard work and dedication I got what I wanted…my dream job! I actually like getting up in the morning, drinking my morning coffee with my laptop and working at home. My home based business doesn’t take more than a few hours a week of my time and I find that I have plenty of time to do the things I want to do with my daughter while she is young.

Since I do stay at home with her, during the week we like to do things that enhance her strengths in a fun way such as paint, color, read books, sing songs, Count, ABC’s, Spanish, Chinese, Sign Language, Adding, Colors and more. I really try to find ways to spark her curiosity to learn more and I always give her encouragement, because that is important. With my encouragement she is able to encourage herself to do better and more. I see her progress with these basic activities. I am very thankful to have came upon this opportunity of becoming a stay at home mom. I plan on having more children in the near future and this surely gives me piece of mind that I won’t have to worry about taking my baby to a daycare at 6 weeks old.

Are you feeling unsure of what kind of home based business to start? My advice to you is to look over my website for ideas, resources and opportunities available. I update this often so make sure and check back often to take advantage of the latest resources for a stay at home mom job.
