THIS driven mum works at home while taking care of her daughter – and rakes in thousands each month.
Stephanie Andreu is a stay at home baker, and sells treats that help her earn a steady stream of money on the side.
In June alone, the mum made £2,200 by baking at home and making treats such as chocolate covered strawberries with her business "Coast to Coast Sweets".
The savvy baker provided a glimpse into how she balances her daily life and her side hustle baking job.
Stephanie said: "I start working at about 3:30, but have a lot of interruptions for bed time and dinner.
"After I finish all my orders, it's about 1:30am when I finally get to sleep."

For three cupcakes and three custom made chocolate covered strawberries, Stephanie can rake in about £20.
Combined with her bigger options, such as breakable chocolate hearts, cakes and more, the mum has made as much as £750 in a weekend.
For bigger events, Stephanie offers party packages for £160, which include 2 dozen strawberries and cake pops, oreos, rice crispies and two party dessert shots.
The mum's business has proved a hit, and she's gained a major following on social media.

Another baker who launched a side hustle out of her kitchen has made treats for celebrities.
Christie Boyle, 29, made a wedding cake for comedian Kevin Bridges, and was commissioned to make a celebration cake for ex-Celtic captain Scott Brown when he left the club.
Glasgow School of Art graduate Christie initially worked as a graphic designer part-time while baking at weekends.
She was offered the chance to use a kitchen and poured savings for a deposit into launching her business instead.
Self-taught Christie uses her great-gran's sponge cake recipe, and uses chocolate fondant to make the cakes air tight.
She makes between eight to 12 cakes per week, starting at 6.30am and doing a 12-hour shift for five days and working 7am until 1pm on Saturdays – and says some people think she's mad for putting in such a hard shift.
She said: "I feel really lucky, after lockdown people have had such a change of mindset and just want to enjoy life."
