I can't remember who was asking, or where, but here is a pretty good resource for part-time work that is done from home. I think it's mostly dollars-per-hour, but it could be fun.

That's awesome. Now, could you find a site for caregivers who stay at home? LOL

Yeah, I was just kidding with Cindy Faith. I already have a job at home, Jim.

One way to find work-at-home opportunities is by answering ads that look promising.
Another is to ask yourself what you know well enough to teach--and set yourself up as a tutor. Whether it's piano or a foreign language or calligraphy or crocheting, you just might know enough about something to be able to teach it. And if you own a house, you could try renting out rooms or even taking in boarders (if you are up to the extra meal preparation). That is considered a home-based business by the IRS. And it is. You do have to advertise and sort through the applicants, check their references, arrange for their move-ins and move-outs, deposits, phone use, etc., etc. You have to draw up a rental agreement, possibly get a lawyer on tap--maybe make some adjustments in your house, like extra phone jacks or different doors. Any expenses incurred in connection with renting rooms are deductible expenses.

Yeah; I like Agate's suggestions because they aren't relying on someone who might be trying to scam you. It's setting up your own business, like I want to do with my playschool.
