One of the best things about working at home is that there are so many opportunities offering flexible scheduling. Every day, when I search up new job leads to list on the work at home job leads board, I find many companies hiring that let you set your own schedule.
Choosing your own hours is very beneficial if you are in a situation where you have kids you need to transport around every day. Or, maybe you have another job that takes up a lot of time but you still need to bring in a little more in your free hours.
Whatever the reason you need to set your own schedule, I hope I've listed some options below for you that you may want to consider.
Good luck!

One of My FAVORITE Resources For Finding All The Remote & Flexible Jobs!
FlexJobs is one of my favorite sites to use for finding remote jobs and learning about new companies that hire remotely.
Most of what I see there when I check the listings pays well above minimum wage and are known companies. The great thing about FlexJobs is that they guarantee ALL listings are scam-free.
They list hundreds of jobs — all of which are either remote or flexible in nature — five days per week.
There are also no ads on the site!
Because there are no ads, they do charge a membership fee since that is the only way they can see a return on their job-searching efforts. But it's cheap — you can get access for a few weeks for just $2.95 for 14 full days!
If you sign up and don't like it, it's very easy to cancel right away so you are not billed again. You can do it any point during your 14 days of checking things out.
Go here to check it out and see what you think.
Good luck!
