I was wondering about this too. I saw a woman the other day with a pram delivering catalogues, is that something you think you could do? I might think about this for myself. If there is something I could do with my baby in tow then that would be perfect!!
Just throwing this out there, and I don't know much about what sort of $$ they bring in, but could you hire your services as a home cleaner? You'd probably have to look into insurance/liability cover though. Just a thought ... possibly a very unwelcome one
Have an IRL friend who doea family daycare so that she can be home with her kids, although with #3 on the way, other peoples children are less in numbers now lol BUT she also does is a rep for Under Cover Wear as well as The Body Shop....perhaps thats something that might take your interest. Another does Mary Kay Cosmetics, anyway you see what im trying to say. I did Family Day Care way back years ago and it drove me insane, odd really since Im a preschool teacher I think it was just having so many people in my home and then at the end of the day its all still in front of you even though the kids had left iykwim. Thats said, I know many mums who absolutely love doing FDC
What about a your own business? Is there anything your good at, that you can make money from? What sort of work did you do before?
If you have an admin background how about a Virtual PA
Are you arty / crafty - maybe a small hobby business and set up an online store (I have a store on madeit, and while the income isnt huge it helps pay the bills)
What about dog walking/grooming - if you good with animals
Cleaning / Ironing / Gardening / Basically something that not everyone has the time to do
I was in the same situation as you, and I have had to return to work.. but I have only gone back part-time 5 days a fortnight. So with that and my online business it has helped us to stay (only just) above water. I looked into FDC and Sales but decided in the end it just wasnt me.
