Do work at home jobs exist that I can do during nap time where I don't have to sell anything? I want to bring in some extra income, but I don't want to work full time and don't want to leave the house. Does this sort of job exist? If you are a work at home mom, what do you do?

I work from home as a writer/editor. Writing and editing are two skills that are very internet compatible!

It depends on what your background is. As a paralegal I could freelance from home wills templates or help edit contracts, etc. for small firms that don't have the funds to keep a permanent person on staff. People with accounting experience tend to have a pretty easy time finding bookkeeping work for small businesses in my area.
Most of the ads on the internet for work from home stuff I'd be skeptical of though.

@minnie_girl what did you do to get this job? Where do I look for them? What sort of background do I need (I was an English teacher, so that sort of thing would be something I think I could do!)

@MamaBehr: I found all of my best work through online writing communities! Try getting involved in the communities and twitter chats. That's where I found work at an internship, an editing job with a publishing company, etc..
It's amazing how many opportunities are available if you ask around. It's not straightforward, but it can be very effective. Right now there are a lot of startup indie publishing companies and self-pubbed authors that need editorial eyes.
You can also find more traditional work writing and editing copy through sites like monster, elance, and linkedin.

I can work from home for my current job, but it isn't encouraged. I'm an audit manager so I can review and document workpapers and correspondent with my control owners via email. I'm hoping to work part time from home once we have a LO.
I'm interested to see what jobs come up for you because that'd be an ideal situation in the future for me should I decide to be a SAHM.

I've been researching this as well and what I've found is that writing, editing, PR, and social media are the ways to go. I've seen quite a few listings for freelance social media people to help break a company into Facebook, Twitter, etc. I've seen this pop up on mediabistro, craigslist, and indeed.

I wish I could work from home full time. My job does allow me to work from home, but only if I have a good reason for it, they usually dont want me to. I would love to find a good work from home job and stay home with LO
