Author Description

Childcare isn't always an option. Paying bills is also not optional. For moms, dads, and caregivers who are home with the kids most of the time, there may still be options to generate income without sacrificing quality time spent with the kids. The thing is, we don't all have the same 24 hours. Understanding that a lot of the resources already available about starting small businesses or working the gig economy don’t fully take into account how very different everyone’s 24 hours can be. So, I outlined 21 different options so you can choose what works best for your family. Some of these options you can do completely from home and others allow you to escape the house for a few hours a week. Some require phones, some don't. Some don't require access to a car. Most of them don't even require childcare for those parents (like me) without daycare, without any family living nearby, without babysitters, and with a partner who works 50+ hours a week. The culmination of years of research, experimentation, failing, frustrations, lack of childcare, and cringing when I logged into my bank account, this book comprehensively compiles the options for moms and dads to stay home and parent while still generating money in a way that works for their family. INSIDE: Valid options + options to avoid (like MLM companies) and WHY How I find time, and how to use the time you have available Balancing caregiving & productivity Work from home options & work outside the home options (21 in all, plus recommendations for 102 host sites to use!) How to create your own job that works for your family Determining the validity of entrepreneurial ideas (BONUS) What my day looks like Recommendations for additional resources These ideas may not replace a full-time salary. They won't generate seven figures a year. Rather, these ideas are real, tried-and-true, and, most importantly, attainable for exhausted, otherwise-preoccupied parents who are looking for ways to make money
