Looking for ideas on work from home

[daddy_of_2_girls]

My company have recently cut back hours for the summer (from 40 to 20 hrs a week), and I'd love to do extra work that I can do at home to subsidize the cost of living and spend time with my daughters. If anyone have any suggestions, please let me know.

Beside couponing, I need to do more...please help.

Thanks.

I know when we get short on money or have some unexpected bills come up we do some of the following things:

Have a yard sale, you'd be surprised at what you might sell and have your kids do a bake sale or lemonade stand or even both

Sell anything bigger that you do not want or need on kijiji

Collect pop cans and beer bottles/cans and bring them in for the deposit or for metal as far as the pop cans go

In home daycare/ babysitting if your home with your own kids they might really enjoy a playmate or two to come over and it'll bring you a few extra dollars

Clean homes/offices/apartments a couple hours here and there can bring in a bit of extra money

Those are my main ideas, I know it's not sustainable income but it'll bring in enough every now and again that might stretch you til you have the next amount coming in.

Good luck with everything! I've found by cutting our initial costs down it has made the need for extreme income much less.

it's not fast cash or a lot but you could try doing online surveys.

I have a few ideas, we've been in the same boat
-dog walking - can pay well, gets you out of the house, can take the kids with you
-odd jobs -post an ad at a local grocery store, jobs board etc - lots of people need help with smaller jobs, and most are willing to pay well for a little help
-house sitting -lots of people go away during the summer and need someone to check on their house or cottage/water plants/cut lawn/collect mail -may only be a few min a day, but tends to pay well
-pet sitting -puppy daycare can be a lucrative business, lots of people don't want to/can't leave fido at home all day, so if you have the space (and a fenced yard) looking after a pooch or two can bring in extra cash and be lots of fun
