Being a stay-at-home mom in this day and age looks different from what it used to back in the 1950s. These days, stay-at-home parents are pretty much superheroes. Kids these days have a lot of autonomy. They’re exposed to so much technology and social media, which makes parenting a momentous task.
If being a stay-at-home mom is your life’s purpose, know that that is perfectly enough. In fact, it is quite an admirable undertaking. Some parents, however, decide that they want to do even more. If you’ve found yourself on Google searching, “How to make money as a stay at home mom” more times than you’d like to admit, this post is for you.
Multitaskers like you are primed for excellence. With the capacity to provide a wonderful life for you, your children, and your entire family, plus take on a remote job opportunity, you’re one of the few trailblazers we tip our hats to.
With all of that said, you may not know the path forward. How can you make money as a stay-at-home mom in 2025? What opportunities are out there? Here are some suggestions to get you started.
Real Estate Agent
Getting your real estate license in your state of residence is a great way to earn extra money as a stay-at-home mom. This type of job can be flexible, which means you can make it work for you. Set your own hours, your own location parameters, and get as involved as you want to be. With the ability to scale up or down and adjust according to what works for you and your kids’ schedules, you can sell homes on the side while raising your family.
Become a Freelancer
If you’re passionate about writing, video creation, audio recording, or other creative outlets but don’t have the time to commit to a full-time job, signing up for sites like Fiverr or Upwork could help you earn extra income all from the comfort of your own home. Complete assignments while your kids are at school or soccer practice and take on as much or as little work as you want.
Resell Items Online
Tons of digital marketplaces like Etsy, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace are prime hotspots for gently used items. If you have items that might be of value to someone else, consider setting up an online shop and selling them there.
Become a Tutor
Plenty of students need tutoring services in a variety of subjects, some of which may be quite niche. Consider offering tutoring to neighborhood kids and/or adults. You could help with math, science, English, or foreign language studies for elementary, high school, and even college students. Not only will you be earning an income as a stay-at-home mom, but you’ll also be making a valuable difference in someone’s life.
Be a Bookkeeper
If you have a knack for numbers and are good at being detail-oriented, becoming a bookkeeper could be in the cards for you. Consider bookkeeping services for people you know (friends with small businesses) or people you don’t. Plus, most bookkeeping roles can be performed remotely, which means you’ll be home in time to pick up the kids after school.
Start a Vlog
These days, it’s all about video content. If you’re killing it being a stay-at-home mom (and we know you are), why not share your secrets with the masses? Becoming an influencer and starting your own video blog (vlog), whether on YouTube or Instagram, is a great way to show others how to succeed in the same way you have.
Perhaps you have a special talent for keeping plants alive. Or maybe you’re an expert cook or a pro-pastry chef. Show people online how it’s done by sharing tips and tricks. In addition to helping others learn a thing or two, you may be able to secure sponsorships and partnerships with brands through affiliate marketing, collaborations, and sponsored posts.
There are just a few of the many opportunities that are out there for stay-at-home moms looking to earn money in 2025. The key is to be able to earn a little extra cash without sacrificing the most important role of all: being a parent. Finding balance between the two will keep you fulfilled and make every day feel purposeful.
