Commuting costs and daycare make it hard for any mom to decide whether working outside the home is really worth it. Working from home can reduce the cost of commuting as well as the cost of child care if you can work around your child, or just place them in care a few hours a day instead of all day.

Here are 5 work from home business ideas for you moms to consider.

1. Homemade Goods, Gift Baskets & Crafts

This is a good business to start for anyone who sews, crochets, or knits. Etsy is the perfect place for homemade goods such as these. If candles, soap, or gift jars are more your style, ebay as well as craigslist are a perfect starting point. If you like food baskets or candy bouquets, putting advertisements in your local paper can be the perfect starting point. One thing to remember, business cards, flyers and word of mouth will always get your business up and running.

2. Bookkeeping

If you are savvy with numbers and exceptional in math, then an at home bookkeeping service is a great business for you. Many smaller companies do not want to do the work themselves and are willing to outsource with independent companies.

3. Virtual Assistant

If you have office or administrative assistant experience then you could benefit from working at home as a virtual assistant. There are many Websites with clients looking to hire a VA, Vip Desk, eLance, Guru, Live Works, and oDesk are the best places to start. Most will require a quiet space, high speed Internet, fax and separate telephone line.

4. Graphic and Web Design

Web businesses are constantly growing and so is the need for graphic designers and web designers. You do not need a college education, but it is helpful. Many certification programs are available and can assist you as well. What one really needs is a stocked portfolio and clients. Again, freelance sites such as oDesk and Guru are full of opportunities in this field.

5. Medical Transcription, Biller, or Coder

All of these medical opportunities can be based at home, so long as the employer is willing to allow it, and you have the right equipment. Most will want educational training as well as some experience. Freelance sites are the best places to get a start if you have the education and certification but need a bit more experience.
