i charged $40/hr in my old district, and $60 in my current district. i go to the kids houses or meet them at the local library.

my mil works from home as a relocation consultant. she got into it w/in the last 5 years or so, and doesn't have a degree. she's also a secret shopper. she gets paid to visit local stores and writes reports on them. she has to buy something from the place, and gets reimbursed for it. sometimes it's places like starbucks, and other times she has to go to bigger stores. the reports are always about customer service.

another option is to apply to districts and tutor kids who are unable to go to school. sometimes this requires a sp.ed. degree, but not always. OR part time counseling for child study teams.

Hi Martha, i live in San Antonio too, and I have been working from home for the last 1 1/2 years - i work for a company called ETS (Educational Testing Services) and there are a few of us that work remotely (they are pretty open to that) at least a few days/week.

Check out their web-site (especially if you have a teaching degree) - you may find some work that interests you.

Ya, I think that would require a sp. ed. degree...

I have never heard of a relocation consultant. Interesting...I may have to look in to this.

ETS? Never heard of them either...But, we are moving back home to Corpus. I wonder if this is something I could do from over there?



You guys are giving me great ideas! Thank you!

sometimes we get offers for home schooling during the school year. this happens when a kid is sick or breaks a limb or something. these don't require sp.ed. degrees.

Hmm. True. But wouldn't i have to be hired by the district first? I am just dreading going on job interviews when I am 6 months pregnant. I don't know if I could get hired.

When I go back in the fall, I'll be job-sharing. You might want to see if any of the districts offer that. I'll be teaching mornings, from 7:15 to 11:07. Of course it's half the pay, but it's better than nothing! I'm also hoping to book more lia sophia (home party jewelry) shows to make up for some of my income! Good luck! I'd love to be home full time too!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
