Stay at home moms have a handful to deal with. Everything from washing clothes, taking care of the children to preparing food. If you need money, or you just want to make something extra for your household or yourself, the thought of starting a small business outside your daily activities might tempt you.
Here are some home-based business ideas that will help you transform your passions into stable income generators.
Stay-At-Home Mom Entrepreneurs Could Start a Daycare
It’s true, it's not the easiest one to do, but it's definitely the one that’s going to make you feel the most fulfilled. Taking care of a child can be demanding, but taking care of multiple children might be more than a handful. Yet, if you know you can do it, and you love taking care of tiny humans, there will always be busy parents in need of childminders, babysitters, or caretakers.
You can start small. In the beginning, you can take care of 4 pre-schoolers. Start by looking after your friends' children, ask them to refer you to other people, and voila! You got yourself a small daycare.
Crafts Could Turn Into a Business for Ladies Sitting at Home
Everyone has a relaxing passion, which allows them to disconnect from the outside world and liberate their creative spirit.
Wouldn't it be great to do what you like and get some money out of it? If DIY projects are your passion, you can always open a shop at a local market or even online. All you need is a social media page or a website, and you’re good to go.
If you don’t have the skills to do online work, you can hire someone to do it for you. Then you can sit down and relax, knitting or creating a new tablecloth for a dining room.
If you don’t have any money saved up for the initial investment, apply for quick cash loans and start working on your entrepreneurial idea. You can pay them back after you make some money with your new small business.
Stay-At-Home Moms Could Start a Pet Business
Turn your passion into your side hustle. Many of us dream of turning our passions into a full-time job. If you're looking for some extra income, there's no better way than to turn a hobby you love into a career you love.
For example, if you're a dog lover, why not start a mobile grooming business or dog walking service? These offer flexible hours that let you work around your other responsibilities, such as school pick-ups and drop-offs.
Being a Virtual Assistant Could be a Small Business for Stay at Home Moms
If you are spending most of your time on your laptop, like talking with your friends, love taking responsibility, and making lists, you might as well start working as a virtual assistant.
With a few organizational skills and a little free time on your hands, working as a virtual assistant and handling other people's mess can actually become a profitable business.
If you know popular programs, such as Microsoft Excel or Word, you already good to go.
You can search for clients online. Start with small companies that don’t have such a significant workload, and then work your way up to bigger ones. The best part – you can do all this from your desk at home.
Being a stay-at-home mom is already a full-time job, but some extra money is always welcomed if you have the time and determination.

I work for Focus Forward Transcription. I love it because I get to make my own schedule and work at home in my pajamas (because who wouldn’t want to work in their pajamas?). The audio is pretty clear, their formatting is easy, and everyone that works in the office is super nice and easy to deal with. You don’t really have to have any experience, you just have to take their transcription test, and they’re always looking for transcribers. They pay via PayPal as well.
I don’t. I do occasionally but not with any regularity. Some people do make a regular business out of it though. I really just do it when I have something that I can’t use that is easily sellable if you price it right. But hey, $100 here or there helps out
The art of eBay, or buying and selling online, is a mysterious one. But it can be conquered if you do your research on business ideas for stay-at-home moms.. It’s all about picking up bulk items for a low price and then selling them for a higher price.
