Jobs for Stay-at-home Parents

Caring for young children in the absence of an income-generating support system is tough. Families, therefore, find themselves reaching the decision of a parent quitting a full-time job to stay home with the kids. There are several job opportunities, however, for those who find a few hours of free time and wish to invest it working part time from home. Whether mom or dad, anyone can take these jobs depending on their area of interest.

Online Tutoring Jobs

If you have a bachelor's degree, online tutoring is a good job to consider. With a broadband connection to the Internet, time and your knowledge of a subject, it is possible to work part time even as you manage your family requirements. Various tutoring sites on the Internet allow tutors to conduct online study sessions at a time of their convenience. You will, however, have to commit to being online for a definite period every day. Tutoring agencies pay by the hour and unlike online schools, these jobs are less tedious because there is no preparing of lesson plans or grading multiple student assignments.

Website Hosting

Hosting a website is an easy way to earn income provided you focus on an area that interests people. The process begins with selecting a domain name -- preferably one that includes your keywords -- then finalizing content, getting the site listed and signing up to affiliate networks. Once your site is up and running, all you need to do is keep adding quality content to attract search engine traffic. If you have a content-rich, search engine optimized website, it becomes easy to attract companies to advertise on your online website. The biggest advantage of this job is that you are free to work whenever you have the time and inclination.

Freelance Writing

Educational websites, as well as article directories, look for qualified writers with expertise in fields as varied as parenting and electronics. Whatever your forte, it is possible to make a career as a freelance writer for sites, such as Bright Hub, CyberEdit and Demand Studios. Besides specialized knowledge of the topic you choose, it is important to have strong language skills to create grammatically correct articles that grab the attention of readers. An alternative to such writing is to research a specific topic and put together a comprehensive e-book or report and promote in online.

Medical Transcription

 
Medical transcription involves listening to a doctor's dictation of patient cases, and typing it out accurately. This job is easier for those with a basic knowledge of health and medical terms. Most companies, however, provide specialized training before allowing you take it up independently at home. It is important to have an ear for English, and the power to recognize the correct word without getting confused by different pronunciations and accents. Medical transcription is best done in a silent room where there is no background noise; so work at times when the kids are not at home or are asleep.
