I am a single parent who needs to find a legitimate job that pulls in the min. 800 monthly. Sending my 2yr old to daycare is not an option as I have decided to stay at home with her until 2.9 or 3. Does anyone have any suggestions please thank you.

There is always plenty of avon, undercover wear or tupper ware to sell. Or u can go online and find sites that do surveys and get paid for doing them.

The only jobs you can do at home -- that I found -- are either
computer-related (and your computer skills do seem very strong!) and
home-based customer service representative or home-based call center
representative. Unless you want to start up a business of some sort,
you're limited to jobs that primarily involve computer/Internet or
phone work.
Your best bet is to go through very respected sites, like Monster,
even though you will have to commit a lot of time to hunting and
weeding.
There is a website that does this already and they post daily telecommute jobs. The jobs where you must send them a resume and interview for them, and some of them have benefits.
Many of them are sales or web programming jobs, but there are some for customer service and clerical type work.
The link is in the source.

You probably need a job that pays a real salary. There are several ways to find these jobs.
1. type in telecommute jobs in the search box.
2. go to http://pcworkathome(dot)net and they have real jobs listed there which pay real salaries.
3. Go to some temporary employment agencies and talk to them and get your name on a list.
4. Call some law offices (they sometimes hire contract workers to do typing).
5. Make sure everyone you know keeps their ears to the ground and helps look for you also.
6. Alot of offices now hire virtual assistants (you work from home). You might do a word search on this, and also run an ad in your local paper.
Hope this helps!

I do medical transcription full time at home on top of my full time job. It is all Internet based so I can do it anywhere as long as I have Internet access. The only other things I need are the headphones and foot pedal, which the company supplies. They also pay for my Internet service. I bring home about 330 a week doing that and it is great. I can work whenever I want to and since all I need is Internet access I can do it anywhere.

Pre-paid legal (i'm not a fan although I know tons of people who do it)
Selling Avon or Mary Kay
The best will probably be childcare. Not like a whole day care or anything, but put up signs or if you know anyone who doesn't want to put up their child in daycare, you could watch their child and yours from your home. If you get maybe 2 kids to watch, I'm sure you could make enough money.

You can sell on ebay - although if you want steady income you might want to try childcare provider - it might work well for you, you're home anyway plus your daughter would have a friend to play with.
