Not MY Mom, but somebody’s mom. (Except, if you want to hire my mom, you can. She’s a very talented individual, and you can read about her new business here.)
Take a look at this sweet site: HireMyMom.com.
If you’ve known me or read my blog for any amount of time, you know that I am passionate about supporting other moms. Not that I don’t like dads, I just really like moms. It’s just the way God made me. (That’s a common saying in our household. Whenever I ask my daughters things like “Why are you so messy?!” They respond with “It’s just the way God made me!” It’s tough to argue with that one.)
Because of that, I think this website is super cool. I love this quote from the U.S. Census Bureau on the front page:
FACT: Over 5.4 million mothers put their careers on hold to stay home with children*. That adds up to a lot of talented women with experience, education, skills and the motivation to find flexible work that can be done from their home office. (*Source: U.S. Census Bureau)
Isn’t that the truth?! I know so many women who are extremely talented, extremely motivated, and extremely educated. Many of them have scored really cool jobs. Some of them have made the decision to stay home with their kids. A few of those still desire to earn money from their homes. That gives people like me, who often need help with tasks in their business, the opportunity to hire them.
There are two ways you can get huge benefits from HireMyMom.com.
1. If you are a stay at home mom and want to earn extra money, you can join this site and post your skills online.
Like, if you have bowstaff skills, nunchuck skills. Or maybe something a little more useful like graphic design, writing, organizing, finding good travel deals… I could go on and on. You’ll be able to look through lists of people hiring for your speciality.
2. If you need help with something, you can browse through the lists of moms promoting their services. Maybe you’re like me, and need occasional logos made for websites, or need help monitoring social media sites. I hire women to create profiles for me at different social networking sites like cafemom.com, so I can later go in and comment to get my name out there.
Maybe you don’t own a business, but you need help with other things, like you need to find a great deal on inexpensive backpacks for your seven kids who are starting school soon. (If that’s you, then you really can hire MY MOM!) Or maybe you want to take a vacation and have a certain budget, but you need help finding deals. Perhaps you are writing a book, and need research done for you. (okay, all the examples that I can think of have to do with my mom’s business. I must have that on the brain!)
Do you fit into either of those two categories? If you do, go check out HireMyMom.com and check out opportunities or talent. Please leave a comment and let me know how you are using the site, I would love to hear from you!
Here are some awesome testimonials from people who have used the site:
From one of our Moms
“Hire My Mom is wonderful! I have gotten so many long term clients from your site! Without it, I don’t think that I would have been able to quit my part time job and concentrate solely on my business.”

From one of our Moms
“The day after joining your site I received my first freelance writing job and have just been offered the permanent position!! Thanks for helping me find freelance work so easily!”
Tracy Kohl, Writer/Editor
From one of our Moms
“I love HireMyMom and how it acknowledges (and caters to) “mom professionals.” I am a new stay-at-home mom who had a solid career in marketing communications pre-baby. I now have ongoing work through HMM that I am passionate about in writing, editing, and even book publishing, which is the field I came from. I am so thankful I saw the little blurb about HireMyMom in Parenting magazine, because HMM has allowed me to stay home with my baby–which is the most important job–and do QUALITY work that I consider fun!”
