Legitimate Home Business Opportunities for “Normal Moms”

I am a normal, work from home mom, who started my own home business working from home. This article will show you how you, too, can be a work from home mom.

After I gave birth to our first baby, Hana, I really couldn’t see myself going back to that old job working for Mr. What’s-his-name for a measly salary and leaving Hana with a babysitter. I didn’t realize how deeply I would LOVE my baby. Do you know what I mean by that? When I was pregnant, I thought, “Right. Have the baby. Find a babysitter. Go back to work. Done.” But I loved her so completely and so profoundly, that I really didn’t want to leave her. Plus, she was really high-needs and I had spent the last year learning her cues and I felt that only I knew exactly how to comfort her. Would a babysitter really be able to do that?

So I set out to figure out what home based business opportunities were out there. First I told my employer that I wouldn’t be coming back, but offered to work for him from home. He seemed mildly interested. So I asked for $30 an hour. I never heard back from him. So I took that as a “No”. Ha ha!

Then, one of my friends offered me some work doing proofreading and editing a magazine she was creating. That was great, except that it wasn’t a lot of work, and I ended up making only about $200 a month. Proofreading is a viable home business idea, and you can do it while the kids nap, or at night after they go to bed. There are websites where you can bid on jobs, such as one called Elance. www.elance.com
