In this post, I’ll share 7 ways you can make money while staying at home with your kids. These ideas will help you earn extra income without going more crazy!

You can check your local fb market place for what’s in demand and offer your services.

Another idea for making money from home is renting out an unused room in your house on Airbnb. To turn the most profit, just use one of the rooms that doesn’t get much action when guests are over like a guest bedroom or even an office space if there’s enough room!

Next idea for stay at home moms to make money without leaving the house is to sell your used or unused items on Craigslist or eBay.

Selling them can help you pay for new purchases of something else while also making it easier to declutter your home. Things you can sell are clothes, books or DVDs, toys, furniture and home decor.

Consignment shops are also an option for easy cash but beware of fees that might range from 25–40%. You can uplift an old furniture and sell it too. Pinterest is full of ideas if you need inspiration for your new project.
