Raising kids, one parent at a time.

What's a single mother to do?

What is a single mom to do when you have bills and can't find a decent traditional job? For me, it means getting creative and finding alternative ways to make money. I have two toddlers and unfortunately I can't afford to just put them in daycare and go right to work. In my area, daycare costs just as much as the average minimum wage job pays. Try 400+ per month per child. How can a single mother can be tough when you have to find work based upon how much your daycare bill is expected to be.

To fill the void, I have been doing something called ChaCha. It is a home based job and I don't need to worry about daycare because I do it from my computer and I don't have to use the phone. You can go to www.ChaCha.com and sign up to be a guide. For a referral, just send me a message and I will be sure to give you one.

I have also been doing something called MTurk. You can go to www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome to find out more about this. I get to be with my kids and when I am surfing the net on their downtime, I can make money. If you have any other suggestions for single mothers, please let me know.
