Money- Making Ideas for Single Parents
Sunday, July 12th, 2009Cake Decorating
There are many freelance, starving artists out there never thought about trying their hand at cake decorating. Now is the time to give this craft serious consideration. Cake decorating allows you to exercise your creativity and at the same time it’s a form of self-relaxation to relieve you from daily stress with your child. Try a simple cake and decorate it with anything you want on top (or on the sides) of the cake. You can buy fresh flowers, dolls, figurines or anything you’re crazy about and create your own masterpiece. If you need a professional help, there are plenty of culinary schools that offer variety of courses to help you.
Homework Tutor
Do you like to listen to your children read? Are you patient and caring? Do you visit the teacher’s store in your area buying little books that can help your own children read, write or do basic math? Would you like to help another child in your neighborhood? If you think you might be interested in helping children with their homework, become a homework tutor. There are busy parents who do not have time to help their own children and would appreciate someone making sure their children understand and complete their homework. Remember parents are not only paying for your time and expertise. Make sure you provide parents with a weekly progress report and ask them to let their child’s teacher know they are working with a homework tutor, so your efforts will not be in vain.
Personal cook
Do you have a food specialty? Is there a dish you prepare that is always a family favorite? Have you ever tried to sell your special cheesecake or cookie crumble? Today, everyone seems to be consumed with the thoughts of food, and why not since most of us have little time to cook or even think about cooking. Take a look around your community and visit bakeries and cafes, is something missing? Is there a café that would benefit from your Special Pasta Carbonara or the Seafood Paella? You may want to start small and deliver a few goodies to a local bakery or become a recipe developer for a number of restaurants in your area. Are you into recipe contest? Commercial food companies are always looking for a new original recipe and they are willing to pay. What have you got to lose?
