The Best Jobs to Help Stay at Home Moms Earn Some Cash in Their Spare Time
While a mother's work is never done, let's be real: The pay isn't all that great. A Pew Research Study found that the percentage of moms who stay home to raise the kids has risen over the past decade, at 20 percent in 2012. So if your main job involves more juice boxes than water coolers and Sesame Street than spreadsheets, you're far from alone. But as stay at home moms know all too well, leaving the daily office grind has its downsides. Even if you've tightened your belts, an extra mouth to feed may require you to start looking for extra income to make up the gap left in your family's finances.
If you have small folks to care for, a lot of traditional full-time or even part-time jobs just don't fit into your lifestyle. Fortunately, the gig economy and the ability to do lots of jobs online means you have more options today than people have had throughout history. If you're in the market to pick up a side hustle, we've found a selection of jobs that fit stay at home moms' lifestyles.
