A number of companies offer “return ships” which might be something to look into

Bookkeeping. You can take a course and hit the ground running relatively quickly as WFH ~$60k. Other options include, virtual assistant or executive assistant since as a mom you had to coordinate schedules all the time.

I would network a lot in your sphere of influence through friends, family and acquaintances. I also have seen some SAHMs go into assistant teaching positions in their district or get a real estate license to become realtors.
