Becoming a mom is one of the best things to ever happen to me, and I love that my job is flexible enough that I get to spend time playing with my daughter and watching her grow up.Best Stay At Home Jobs For Moms & Dads

I know not everyone wants to work from home with their kids, but I am grateful that I can work at home while raising my little one. 

Parents have a range of options these days when it comes to working from home. There are:

  • Freelance jobs for parents
  • Online jobs for stay at home moms and dads
  • Typing jobs for stay at home moms and dads
  • Jobs for stay-at home moms with no degree
  • Data entry jobs for stay at home moms and dads

And much more!

The ideas I’m telling you about in today’s article are more than just stay at home mom jobs. These are remote jobs for dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents, caregivers, and anyone else who wants a flexible job that allows them to work from home.

That’s why the best jobs for stay at home moms and dads are all flexible, and many of them are very easy to start.

For many, being able to have a more flexible schedule while raising children is important. And I completely understand that.

I love that I have one of the best work from home jobs for moms with babies! The flexibility of blogging means I mostly work when my daughter naps. When she’s awake, I get to spend time playing with her and watching her explore the world. 

I know, I know. Because she’s a baby, it won’t always be like this forever, haha! But building a business I love that I can run from home on my own schedule gives me so much freedom to be with her right now.

Being a parent is hard work – it alone is a full-time job, and that’s why I was excited to create a list of the best jobs for stay at home moms and dads.

It’s more important than ever before to help people find jobs that make it easier to be a parent and make money. 

Right now, there are many different flexible jobs and legitimate work that allow you to work from home. Whether you are looking for a side hustle or a full-time job, there are many options that may interest you.

Blog Income Reports From A Multi-Million Blog (My Real Reports!)

Last Updated: October 26, 2022 BY Michelle Schroeder-Gardner - 15 Comments

If you’ve ever wondered how I make money, then this is for you – it’s dedicated to my blog income reports!

I absolutely love blogging, and I am so glad that I randomly started this site a little over a decade ago. Blogging has taught me so many things, and I have helped countless people improve their finances.Blog Income Reports From A Multi-Million Blog (My Real Reports!)

Plus, I have been able to earn a great income doing something I truly love to do!

One of the things I started doing in the early days of Making Sense of Cents was to publish personal finance blog income reports. They were a monthly breakdown of how much money I made and where it came from, such as affiliate income, sponsored posts, etc. I also answered FAQs and talked about different things happening in my life and business.

If you’re interested in blogging or simply want to learn more about my site, my income reports include a ton of information.

I’ll explain more shortly, but I no longer publish my income. However, I still have a lot of people asking where they can find my old income reports. That’s why I decided to put together this page. 

My income reports started because I wanted to share how much money I was earning from my side jobs, which included blogging at the time. These reports included all of the income I made outside of my day job. This included income from mystery shopping, answering surveys online, selling items on eBay, and more.

Eventually, I quit all of my side jobs and focused solely on Making Sense of Cents. That’s when my reports really changed, and they became blogging income reports and showed the many different ways that I earned money from this site. [Read more…]

Last Updated: January 5, 2023 BY Michelle Schroeder-Gardner - 5 Comments

Do you want to learn how to start a proofreading business?

Proofreaders are responsible for putting the finishing touches on written content, from blog posts, web copy, marketing materials, resumes and cover letters to academic articles, legal briefs, and much more.How To Start A Proofreading Business

This is a very flexible side hustle, and it’s a great opportunity if you enjoy reading or have been known to spot grammar and punctuation errors.

Today, I have a great interview to share with you. It’s with Ariel Gardner, who has been working as a proofreader, copy editor, and freelance writer. She’s been editing for me for nearly seven years, and I’m excited because she’s putting out her first course, Proofreading Launchpad.

Ariel started proofreading as a side hustle, and it’s become a very flexible full-time job that allows her to travel with her family in the summer. She went from earning less than $500 a month proofreading to regularly making $4,000+ every month.

In this interview, I ask Ariel questions about how to start a proofreading business. 

Proofreaders are in demand because business owners understand the need for error-free content. And as Ariel explains in our interview, Google favors error-free content in its search rankings.

So if you are interested in starting a flexible and in-demand side hustle, I ask Ariel questions you may be wondering about, like:

  • What’s the difference between an editor and a proofreader?
  • How much do proofreaders earn?
  • How long does it take to become a proofreader?
  • How can a new proofreader build their portfolio?
  • How can a proofreader find paying clients?
  • Do you need to have a degree to become a proofreader?

Plus more!

Today’s interview will help you get started on your path to becoming a paid proofreader. 

If you want to learn how to launch a proofreading business on the side of your job, while you’re in school, or with kids at home, this interview is a great place to get started.
