Lots of women are opting to stay home these days. They either want to spend more time with their families or just want to provide their children with full-time love and support. For most, it's about having more flexibility and freedom. However, making the choice to work at home is just the beginning. The difficult thing for many is deciding which kind of business to run.
3. Pet Services
This includes: pet grooming and sitting. Many pet owners hire sitters to come into their home to look after their pets, especially if they are busy or travel a lot. You can even decide to provide specific services such as, cat sitting or a grooming mobile for dogs. There is a service in my town that even offers pet taxi services.

7. Catering or Personal Chief
Like to cook? Offer your services as a personal chief! You can make hot, delicious meals in your home and deliver them. Busy professionals who don't have time to cook, or those who travel use these services. And to separate yourself out from the crowd, decide to specialize in a certain type of cooking, such as vegetarian or healthy cuisine.
8. Technical Writer
A technical writer maintains or develops documents written on specific subject matter that needs explaining to a particular audience. They tend to write on specialized subjects such as science or engineering. Many are either experts on their subject or seek out experts to gather information and conduct further research.

An event planner is someone who organizes, orchestrates and plans parties, fundraisers, weddings, receptions, baby showers, open houses, etc. The list is certainly exhaustive! You could get even more creative and specialize in, say wedding banquets and receptions. I have a friend who plans tea parties for children.
10. Copywriter
Copywriters specialize in a particular kind of writing: sales. Businesses hire copywriters to develop promotional materials to help sell their products or services. These may take the form of web sites selling a product or service, brochure, or an email marketing campaign.
Regardless of which kind of business you decide to offer, one of the principle ways to stand out from the whole crowd is, specialize, specialize, specialize.
