You can be a personal stylist, social media evaluator, tutor, personal assistant, and even a dog walker all from the convenience of your own home. To us, it sounds like a welcome and much-needed extra income.
We can all benefit from more money in our pockets, but as a new parent, finding the time is difficult. If you’re able to stay home with your child and work remotely for extra cash, side hustling may help you manage all of the additional expenses that come with growing your family. We can’t all be influencers, bloggers, and YouTubers—the more famous self-made people who frequently struggle until their big break (and payoff)—so we compiled a list of suitable independent work possibilities for parents looking to make money without committing to full-time employment.
Amazon Flex
By delivering packages for Amazon, you may be your own employer, develop your own schedule, and make between $18 and $25 per hour. You can use the Amazon Flex app to control your hours, collect packages, track your route, and check your earnings in up to 50 locations (and counting). Billing cycles are twice a week, according to nerdwallet.com: Tuesdays and Fridays. All you need is a car, a background check, and a smartphone.
TranscribeMe!
TranscribeMe will provide you with audio and video files that need transcribing once you’ve completed online registration and completed a training and exam course. All you need is a high school diploma and English fluency. You’ll also require access to a computer and the internet. TranscribeMe issues payments once a week through PayPal—the standard rate is $20 per audio hour, so the more quickly and effectively you transcribe, the more money you may make! According to workathomewife.com, a QA looks over your entire project and rejects any submissions that need more than 30% corrections.
Wag!
This is one of the most interesting jobs for animal lovers! Wag! is an internet dog walking service that allows pet walkers to be scheduled on-demand, ahead of time, or on a recurring basis. Owners may keep track of their dogs’ travels using Wag!’s real-time GPS tracking. Owners will also get a grade report at the conclusion of the walk. You must reveal any prior experience, explain why you would be a good walker, complete a few general dog care and safety questions, you’ll be tested on dog collars and harnesses, and you’ll receive a situational assessment. The application process takes about 1-2 weeks and requires a $30 onboarding fee (for a background check and t-shirt), but you may make up to $25 an hour once approved!
PoshMark
PoshMark is the best location to sell your lightly used or handcrafted apparel online. Simply take a photo of your items for sale, upload them to your internet closet (which may take less than 60 seconds), and spread the news on social media. Poshmark makes it simple to get your items to the buyer, allowing you to simply attach a pre-paid label and hand over the cash when the item is delivered.

Stitch Fix has made it simple to be stylish. As a Stitch Fix stylist, you will get continued education and training and are expected to go to social and company-sponsored events, even if you work from home.
