How can a stay at home mom make money for food and needs????

My husband now works but when my son was born he had just come back from a military leave, and was in the process of getting hired with a police department. Well now we have over 10,000 in credit card debit and we have to choose to buy food or pay the minimums on a credit cards. With his crazy work shifts and me being pregnant again (even though I was on birth control!) I need to find a way to either make money or consolidate our debit into a lower payment (its $650/month on just credit card minimums.) I tried to see if there was other children I could watch but no one in the area does. We don't have any family near and just moved to a new area where we dont have friends.... how can I make some money so we can eat and pay bills????How can a stay at home mom make money for food and needs????
You should use your specialty...



My husband is very handy, so even though he has a full-time job as a manager in a big company, he works as a contractor for small weekend projects. He likes doing it and makes a quick extra $$.



And I work as an interpreter at county court (mostly traffic ticket cases) in the evening session (when my husband watches our baby) beside my full-time job. 2-3 times a month only, but it is fun and I like it a lot. It pays about $60 an hour. I also like making small art pieces (crafts), and sell them on line. I enjoy my side jobs just like my husband.



Also, my neighbor loves cooking (and I hate cooking), and she makes really good home-made food for my family about 2-3 times a month and I pay her good money. It works perfectly for each other. When I have a party, I hire her to cook the party food too. And I hire my friend for bartending.



Additionally, I have a cleaning lady comes in twice a month. She brings her 8 years old daughter to our place. It takes about 2-3 hours to do basic cleaning (not including laundry or scrubbing, just vacuuming and dishes). I pay her $40 an hour.How can a stay at home mom make money for food and needs????
I know you want to stay at home, but the easiest way to make quick money is waitressing. You'll have tip money coming in each shift you work. And, you may be able to take extra food home with you. It's not something you have to do forever, but maybe for a few months until you find something better. It's just a good way to bring money home immediately.
