If you are looking for stay at home mom jobs, there are more opportunities available than ever before. After being overwhelmed with the demands of corporate and caring for my newborn twins a few years ago, I began looking for stay at home mom jobs.

The workforce was changing, and so was I. My role as a mother, and the need to be present in my home with my kids was more important than anything. I needed to find a legitimate stay at home job that paid well that wasn’t direct sales.

I started my research for legit work from home jobs and was surprised to see there were so many options. So, I began asking my work from home mom friends, networking online, and joining social media groups that posted jobs for moms.

I’m currently doing #1 on this list full time and I absolutely love it.

Eventually other moms began asking how a stay at.home mom makes money especially a single one like me. I’d get asked my opinion on the best jobs for moms with no experience, if I knew of any part time jobs for stay at home moms and even side hustles that might work for moms.

My work from home search was so encouraging, it inspired me to create this website and share what I learned and my personal journey with other moms like me.

Stay at Home Mom Jobs

work from home jobs for moms

While motherhood is a full time job in itself and we should make millions for the work we already do in the home, many of us have to work to pay bills. Thankfully, there are stay at home jobs for moms that don’t have to be full time or require you going into an office.

Knowing the options available when it comes to flexible remote work is a game changer.

If you’re looking for a better work life balance, this list will provide several options for moms who want to be at home for their families while still earning an income. Thankfully many companies have been accommodating offering flexible jobs for moms.

Start a Blog

Starting a blog has been one of the best online stay at home mom job for me. It’s flexible and the earning potential is unlimited. When I learned about the money work from home moms were making with blogging I knew I had to give a try.

Honestly, starting a successful blog takes a lot of work. While it was slow at the start because I had no clue what I was doing, the more I learned the the more I earned (it took about a year). I was determined to make it work.

In the beginning I was not as consistent, and that affected my growth. But, once I got my stay at.home mom schedule together I was able to stay on task and in turn make more money.

If you want to start a blog, you could have your blog up and running today with a few clicks! Check out my step by step guide on how to start a blog for beginners.

If you are just starting I definitely recommend you build your blog alongside another one of these work from home jobs until it starts bringing in income.

According to Indeed.com, on average bloggers make $37,073 a year depending on how their blogging niche, how long they’ve been blogging, how much traffic they get etc. But, I know from personal experience and blogger friends that this amount can be much more.

Tech Support Specialist

Tech support specialists work with end-users to provide assistance for software and hardware problems. To be successful in this role you will need to have strong written and verbal communication skills, an understanding of computer hardware and software systems, and excellent time management. 

A career as a tech support specialist can bring in between $49,000 – $62,000 a year.

Tutor

With an increase in homeschooling in the last few years, many sites like Outschool and Bravewriter are looking for teachers, instructors, and learning coaches to help facilitate online classes. If you’ve always wanted to teach, this could be your chance to do so virtually and positively impact the lives of children.

Data Entry Clerk

Data entry is a popular work from home option if you are a detail oriented person. It requires you to work fast and precisely. It can be a very tedious task but offers many opportunities. You can expect to make $10 – $15 an hour doing this job.

Bookeeper

Bookkeeper’s handle the daily financial tasks of a business. It can include some data entry, receipt verification and recording transactions. You’ll need to be able to analyze and interpret financial data, use great attention to detail, and have good administrative skills.

Staff Writer

As a staff writer you will write compelling stories that educate or entertain your readers. Daily responsibilities may include research, interviewing individuals, creating articles, or editing your work. You must be able to brainstorm ideas and collaborate with other staff members in the production process. If you think you’d be good as a staff writer starting a blog would be a great option too.

Transcriber

Typing jobs for stay at home moms are amongst the easiest ways to make money from home. You can make money by providing transcription services. A transcriber listens to audio recordings and turns them into written communication. Transcribers are usually paid based on the length of the recording. Companies like Rev offer a variety of projects to work on, flexible schedules and weekly pay.

Stay at Home Mom Jobs that Pay Well

Youtuber

Starting a Youtube channel is one of the most lucrative things I’ve done to make money as a stay at home mom to date. In the beginning, it’s work but the benefits are endless.

After getting the hang of running the blog I decided to start a Youtube channel alongside the content I was creating on the blog. It was a great fit because my audience really enjoyed the livestreams I would do on social media.

Doing those videos allowed me to work from home while creating a deeper connection with my blog readers. About 2 years after starting the blog I launched my Youtube channel.

I never really started the channel for money but realized after starting it could become an additional work from home job that paid well.

I was eligible for monetization after 90 days creating videos on Youtube. Since starting my channel 4 years ago, I’ve gained 60,000 subscribers, 2 million views and let’s call it a comfortable monthly income 😊. I wrote a break down of how to get started on Youtube after being asked by my blogger friends.

The great thing is your channel can be built alongside any of these other work from home options and generate double the income! What I love most about Youtube is that over time the income becomes passive, you continue to earn money from the videos you’ve posted.

Virtual Assistant

A virtual assistant has become a catch-all term for anyone who works remotely performing a variety of duties from administrative, financial, and marketing. If you have experience in an office setting or have a background in communications, business, or any sought-after specialty skill, you can be a virtual assistant. Working from home mom jobs like this are one of the most popular. All that is required is internet access, a computer, and the tools necessary to complete the work. 

Graphic Designer

Graphic design skills are in demand online, as more and more people start their own businesses and need websites, logos, and marketing materials. If you have an eye for design, consider creating custom graphics for other home-based businesses or established brick-and-mortar companies. Online entrepreneurship is a fast-growing business segment and as such, there is a definite need for graphic designers.

Web Designer

As a web developer you will create  and build websites. You will need to have an understanding of content management platforms, design tools and website builders. You should have an eye for design, be creative, have great attention to detail and be able to communicate well. 

According to salary.com the median income for a web designer in 2022 is $75,520.

In this role you need to have a good knowledge of social media trends and be up to date on the latest online marketing tactics.

I did this job for a while and it offers a great deal of schedule options and versatility in work on a daily basis.

You will make between $12-$15 depending on your experience state and the employer. There are many work from home call center companies who are always hiring and have good opportunities to get started with customer service.

      I think it depends on your skill. I like doing admin jobs if you’re a beginner and then adding on something freelance.

I quit social media….

I needed to focus on me…and what a time it’s been! Life is good, the babies are thriving and I’m more renewed than ever. 

No long speech just…

How y’all been? Ya girl is back.
First off, forget them people! Respectfully… Bu First off, forget them people! Respectfully…

But, I get it!  Most times we lack confidence worrying about other people’s opinion on this or that, but… 

- Stop trying to prove people wrong and prove yourself right! This is about you. You overcoming your fears. You finding the audacity to be great. You pursuing YOUR best life.

- Surround yourself with people that pour into you. Having the right support system is essential. It helps you ignore the noise around you. Join an online group, meetup with positive people local to you.

- Figure out the area you lack confidence in and build yourself up in that area.

- Feel the fear and do it anyway! You gotta just push through. Keep working. Keep showing up. Keep building.

Save this post and reference it when you feel self doubt creeping in.
