I am a stay at home mom looking to make some extra cash. Do you know any jobs I can do from my home that don't require me to put money into first, and that aren't scams?

If you have a washer and dryer in your home, you could do laundry and ironing for people.

You could try babysitting at your house.

Outsourcing

Here are a few if you have a computer that is not Wi-Fi and a landline telephone: http://www.alpineaccess.com/external/careers/why_its_better_to_be_an_employee.html http://www.arise.com/Content/default.asp

I had nearly 20 years in part time teaching at various career-oriented colleges. Many who took classes there had heard of applying computer skills to make money from home. Unfortunately the supply is far greater than any demand. There is no matching an actual workplace, with face to face contact with mutual expertise and team supervision. Some people, like those who actually succeed doing medical billing or claims processing from home, do so only after they are well-networked and have several years in the industry.

The wonderful world of Garage sales, if you are a techno mom you could do ebay as well.

What about babysitting? You could go to a temporary placement agency and ask if they are looking for anyone to do typing or mailing at home jobs.

Any company who asks you to pay money to work is a scam unless it's a home based business. Here are some companies who hire individuals to work from home? verafast.com, aplineaccess.com, 1800flowers.com, jetblue.com, custom loyal.com. These are all online customer service opportunities. I promise you that they are all legitimate.
