Shaun Stenning Side Jobs for Stay-at-Home Moms and Dads



There are many reasons a person might choose to be a stay-at-home mom or dad. The cost of childcare might be prohibitive, or you might feel that having a parent at home is essential for your child's development. However, staying at home with your child can be a sacrifice in terms of the income you could be bringing in if you were out in the workplace.


According to Shaun Stenning, “If you're a stay-at-home parent, you might be looking for ways to create additional income to help with mortgage payments or bills around the house, but feel limited in what jobs you can take because of your child's needs.”


To help you generate extra income while taking care of your little ones, here's a list of flexible side jobs that are great for stay-at-home moms and dads.


1. Sell Crafts Online

If you enjoy knitting, sewing, crocheting, woodworking, jewelry-making, or another creative craft, you may want to consider selling your creations online on Etsy.


2. Host an Exchange Student

If you live near a university or college campus, your home may be prime real estate for hosting exchange students.


3. Start a Freelance Business

Perhaps you have amazing illustration or photography skills, make beautiful cards, are an expert at cake decorating, or feel that you can write better articles than most of the crap that's on the Internet.


4. Monetize Your Blog

Many of my friends who are stay-at-home moms have blogs where they document their cooking mishaps, crafting adventures, and gorgeous pictures of their babies.


5. Tutoring or Teaching an Instrument

Tutoring is a great way to use your skills and earn extra income while staying at home with the kids. Often, you can have students come to your house, so you don't even have to drive or be away from home.


When looking for a side job, be sure to be wary of work-at-home scams. Never pay upfront for promised future employment, and beware of offers that sound too good to be true. Caution aside, by being creative you can increase your streams of income to generate a nice tidy sum that will help out with the finances while allowing you to spend time with the kids.
