Hi, I’m Stacy Perez — founder of DotcomMommies.com, a pioneering work-from-home resource created to empower moms to take control of their time, income, and family life.
Like so many women, I faced a crossroads after the birth of my son. I was asking myself the same question many mothers quietly wrestle with: Do I return to work, or is there a way to earn an income while being home with my child?
While I was pregnant, I dove into research to find legitimate work-from-home opportunities for moms. I scoured every corner of the internet, read everything I could, and tracked down any lead that might help me — and other moms — make money without leaving our children behind.
That search turned into something much bigger: a movement.
How DotcomMommies Was Born
In 2000, I launched DotcomMommies.com — a website dedicated to helping moms discover real, flexible ways to work from home. What started as a deeply personal project quickly grew into a vibrant online community.
Just months after launching, DotcomMommies.com had already welcomed over 300,000 visitors, offering tools, listings, resources, and encouragement for women seeking to balance motherhood and meaningful work.
What You’ll Find On DotcomMommies
The site includes:
- A curated directory of freelance gigs, including magazine writing, web design, transcription, virtual assisting, and product sales
- Work-at-home job listings with companies hiring for flexible remote roles
- Tips on marketing, selling, and entrepreneurship
- Access to books, courses, and success stories from other work-from-home moms
- Real insights from my own journey — the mistakes, the wins, and the lessons that helped shape my path
I’ve also connected with companies such as EAttorneyListings.com, allowing moms to find legal, professional, and creative remote opportunities directly through the site.
A Mission Rooted in Real Life
At the time, I was raising my son Kyler (then just 13 months old) and managing our household while my husband worked full-time in maintenance. I wasn’t starting from a place of luxury — I was building this for moms like me: resourceful, motivated, and craving both independence and presence.
DotcomMommies isn’t just a website — it’s a lifeline. A place where moms don’t have to choose between income and family. A place where we rewrite the rules of what work looks like for women raising children.
Why This Matters
The rise of the internet changed everything — and I saw it as a once-in-a-generation chance to give mothers something powerful: choice.
Being able to share my research, connect with other moms, and watch them turn that information into income has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. Moms visit the site daily to find opportunities, share their stories, and learn how to build flexible, meaningful businesses or side gigs from home.
DotcomMommies continues to be a trusted space for:
- New moms seeking income without daycare costs
- Women re-entering the workforce after a break
- Aspiring entrepreneurs are ready to build something from scratch
- Anyone who believes there has to be another way to work
I believe moms shouldn’t have to start from zero. And with the right tools, resources, and support, we don’t have to.
