Hi! I’m Kate, the face behind KateFi.com—a blog all about making life easier and more affordable.
If you’re a parent, you know the golden hours of the day aren’t 9 to 5 — they’re nap time. And if you’ve ever wanted to squeeze in some income while your toddler is snoozing, I’ve got good news.
These are the 3 exact online jobs I’ve done (in real life) that fit perfectly into those quiet 1–2 hour windows. No phone calls, no meetings, and no one judging your messy bun or snack-covered leggings.
1. Live Chat Assistant
This is my holy grail. I get paid to respond to live chat messages from customers — think replying to questions on websites, answering DMs, or sending quick email replies. It’s quiet, flexible, and perfect for nap time.
You don’t need experience, a degree, or even a laptop — I’ve done it all from my phone while half-watching the baby monitor.
👉 Here’s how I got started with live chat jobs
Pay: $25–$35/hr
Perks: No calls, pays weekly, super chill
Best for: Fast typers, multitasking moms, introverts
2. Freelance Writer for Small Blogs
I’m not a professional writer — but guess what? A lot of blog owners don’t want Pulitzer-worthy prose. They just want helpful, casual content. I started writing short blog posts, product descriptions, and “how-to” guides during nap time and actually made bank.
The best part? You can pause mid-sentence if the baby wakes up, and no one knows the difference.
👉 This is how I made $500 my first week
Pay: $50–$100 per post
Perks: No calls, no deadlines if you set expectations
Best for: Moms who like journaling or storytelling
3. Pinterest Affiliate Marketer
I had no blog, no followers, and no design experience — and still made $500 in a week by posting Pinterest pins with affiliate links. During nap time, I’d use Canva on my phone, create a few pins, and schedule them with Tailwind.
It’s basically passive income after setup. If your kids nap for 90 minutes, you can create a week’s worth of content.
👉 Here’s the exact method I followed
Pay: Commission per sale (usually $5–$50)
Perks: No deadlines, scalable, no face required
Best for: Visual creatives, multitaskers, Pinterest lovers
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to “wait until they’re older” or “find more time.” You just need smart, flexible income streams that fit your schedule. Nap time isn’t just for folding laundry — it can fund your grocery bill, your emergency fund, or that Target run you definitely earned.
Start with one of these jobs, and you’ll be shocked how much you can earn while the house is finally quiet.
