I'm a single mom of soon to be 3 year old twin girls. Their birthday is Jan. 8. But we are not celebrating until Saturday. I have been trying to find something to make just a little extra money so I can get them something and I haven't had any luck. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and God Bless.

Hello there. What are your skills? Maybe you could try TaskRabbit and help run errands? Go to the site and click in the top right: become a tasker

That is a very short time frame to get a job and paid. How about a few suggestions for short term fixes? Do you have a lot of books you can gather and take to a place like half price book stores? They pay cash on the spot. They also take magazines, CDs,DVDs, electronic games, and records.
Do you have broken gold or silver jewelry? We have places that pay cash on the spot for broken or unwanted pieces.
Do you have clothing either yours or the kids' that are in good shape? Places like Plato Closet pays cash for teen and adult clothing....women and men. There are also places that pay for kids' clothing and toys.
Then for the long term, see if you can get in with a temp to perm agency that will assess your skills and match your skills to available jobs. Many agencies are flexible for different shifts and wages based on skills.
My personal advise is to stay away from multi level sales. I will not name names, but think jewelry, food, storage containers, make up and such. Some people do well, but they are hard work and many require large financial upfront investment.
Best wishes! Post back with an update. Blessings to your babies!
I'm poor. No jewelry. And my clothes are to big for me but I wear them. And as far as the girls clothes I have this lady I swap out with. She has 2 daughters. One older and one younger than my girls. So we always swap summer for winter and winter for summer. It's a big help with their clothes. But thank you for the info.
I am sad to hear these are things that can't help. For many these are good sources for quick cash. The other posters had some good ideas for you also, so hopefully something else will work for you.
Do you have a Catholic Charities in your town? Sometimes that groups, or others from other religious denominations can help with emergency funding for bills and housing. That may be something to explore. Sending up prayers for solutions.
It is hard being a single parent, I know. You work a full-time job and need to pay for a sitter and then work a part-time job and pay more. At times most of your earnings go to the sitter. If you have writing skills and can write well there are many different sites online who hire writers.
I work to pay bills and sitter. Sitter is only available Mon-Friday 8-5. She is the only one I trust and have. My mother passed away in 2001 and my dad is on drugs. So no help there. I'm stressed to Max. But I really stink at writing. Lol thanks for info thou
