How Can Single Moms Make Extra Money?

Being a single parent is a full-time job in itself. Many single mothers have a hard time making ends meet and need to find legitimate ways of making some extra money. With a little creativity, and the drive to work hard, any single mom can use her own talents and ideas to make extra money.

  1. Pet Sitting

    • Take on an at-home business taking care of pets while their owners work or go away for an extended period. You can also offer daily dog-walking services for those who do not need a pet sitter.

    Child Care

    • Try finding a part-time, or even full-time, position with a day care or other childcare facility. You may be able to take the children with you to work.

    Babysitting

    • Reverse your financial situation by relieving your need to find a babysitter, all while helping other single parents. Offer to watch other children in your home for a small fee per child.

    Crafts

    • Use your scrapbook, craft and design talents to make new and different crafts and other projects. You can sell these at a local fair or farmer's market, or put an advertisement in the newspaper to take orders.

    Odd Jobs

    • Put an advertisement in a local newspaper for odd jobs, cleaning, mowing and other household chores that many other parents do not have time to complete regularly.
