How many SAHMs are also WAHMs?
| Fri, 06-01-2007 - 6:54pm |
How many of you are also WAHM? I do freelance writing and editing. I don't make a lot (yet), but I've been able to pay a few bills and replaced our microwave when it died :)
Anybody else?

I work at home full time. I have worked at home pretty much since the day I got home from the hospital!! (boss kept calling with questions, even though I had actually quit!) They then offered me a job at home, and stupid me, I took it!!
I teach private voice and piano lessons as well as help DH with accounting for his business. I spend about 30 hours a week working for $$. It's sort of alot but I like being able to stay with the kids.

I do Human Resources work - I don't do hiring or anything with the employees. I do legal reports and other things like that so I do not need to be in the office. I am really glad that I am able ot do it as it gives me something other then household things to do and it does not take too much time, about 10-12 hours a week.

I just became a sahm/wahm. I used to work part time for Curves and now I have my own small eBay business. It's going really well so far. I have found that I make two times more than in one week than I did at Curves in 1/2 a month. I am working about 20 hours at home during the week.
My husband has had an eBay business for 7 years now and he has worked from home ever since.

I charge $90 a week for the almost 4 year old girl (whose hours are usually 8-5) or $20 a day if it is not going to be a whole week (or I need a day off for something) and I will be charging $105 for her baby brother who will be starting in a few weeks, or $25 a day for him.
And those rates are INCREDIBLY reasonable, anyone who needs daycare knows that it usually costs a lot more than that. I feel that I can charge so little because this is a suplement to my husbands income more than anything and it doesn't cost us much (other than a little extra food and all of my time) to have a few extra kids here. When my kids are a little older (and we buy a house, in an apartment now) I am considering opening a *real* daycare and I will charge more than this.
