Dog breeding is one of the most famous business ideas. We have seen in my neighbor also, they are earning in lakhs with this side business.

The only downside of this side job is to be extra careful. And it would be difficult for you to manage everything on your own. So you may have to get a number of people who can take the dogs on the walk.

If you live in an area where people have to travel miles away to get the grocery things then this could be the best job for moms with babies.

Also don’t just invest your money in all the grocery things. Start it with a few items then scale it depending on the buyers or your locality needs.

16. Parlor

If you know the basic things like threading, light makeup, etc, you can start this job at your home and later scale it. Tell your neighbors that you started a new job at home.

Apart from this, you can focus on providing one single service like threading and any other thing which you are best at.

17. Cosmetic Store

Just like a grocery store, you can also open a cosmetic store. Again the same thing, don’t just invest all your money here. Buy the products which are in demand in your area. Then scale it later.

You can even sell things like women’s innerwear, makeup things, dresses, etc.

18. Stationary Shop/Bookkeeping Store (part-time jobs you can do with a baby)

It’s a good idea to start selling books and other stationery things. But don’t keep it on the priority list. Check if you have any schools or colleges nearby. If not, then we would say, don’t open and invest your money in this business.

Similarly, you could also expand this as a photocopy shop. Again, you have to check whether there is an actual need in your area or not. 

If you need a real-life example then, there was an old uncle who used to provide services right in front of my college, and trust us, he earns handsomely. And the services he offered were photocopy, bookselling, and selling stationery items.

19. Gift Shop

Just like the cosmetic, or grocery store, this business you can also start. To take it to the next level, you can even sell things which are hand-made by your or someone in your family. 

And to take it to a further level, you can even sell things as an online seller. We know every time we are focusing too much on online things. Because it’s the internet era, we have all the possibility to expand our reach and do the promotion that too FREE OF COST.

23. Baking 

Do you love making cakes, pastries, patties, etc?

Why not try this job at home? 

We have personally seen this business in my area where an aunt is making handmade personalized cakes. 

When you make something personalized, people tend to be attracted to that. Personalization could be – writing their names or using their photo on the cake, or making something out of the candles, serving pastry in your own style, writing their name on the disposable plates in a fun way just like Starbucks do.

24. Transcribe

A transcriber is a person who listens to the speech or data and writes and prints it. Many law firms and other firms hire transcribers to maintain the written record. 

Although, several people are engaged in this field, thus, you want to maintain supremacy. 

Pro tip – You can also take your skill online at platforms like Fiverr to earn handsome money.

25. Dog walking

As we have mentioned dog breeding, but if you want, you can be part of something simple, that has something to do with dogs, that’s dog walking. All you need is to get in touch with some people, or should we say, some busy people who don’t have time to walk their dog.

Pro tip – You can create a website and hire more employees to take your business to the next level.

26. Virtual Assistance or Administrative Assistant

A virtual assistant is someone who takes care of responding to emails, taking calls, and more from home. This could be one of the exemplary jobs for you, considering that you don’t have to visit the office regularly as you can work right from your home.

Although, if you need office experience, you can work as an administrative assistant, with the potentially same responsibilities. If you would ask us, we would say, administrative assistant for a real-time experience.

You can be a translator, and you know what, you can easily find a translator job, considering that there are several opportunities lying as many companies are trying to enter the international market and what could be better than working close under the coordination of global leaders.

30. Influencer 

Hey girl! Download that Instagram and live like a celebrity.

So, mommies, it’s time to work and be independent. 

We believe that there is no age to start something new. And once you feel like you have enough time to focus on other things or if you need to work due to financial issues at your home you can pick any business which fits your needs and requirements. 

However, we would like to say, start with something small rather than trying to build something big, and once you feel like your business is growing give it a big push. This will keep you on a safer side than spending tons of money.
