2) Education
If working full-time as a teacher just doesn't work for you, don't rule out an education career. You can specialize in distance learning, designing and teaching online courses. Or you can specialize in education policy, working part time or from home for education advocacy organizations. If teaching and learning are among your interests, the education field has more opportunities than you may have realized.
3) Bookkeeping/Accounting
Every business needs to keep its accounts in order, and more and more businesses are outsourcing their bookkeeping. With a bookkeeping, financial management or accounting degree, you can work part time or from home. Life isn't always tidy, but with an accounting career, you'll enjoy the rewards of knowing the books are.
4) Advertising
Some advertising jobs require full-time work, but others, for instance ad design, are more flexible. A degree in advertising or marketing can open opportunities for you to let your creativity shine without forcing you into an office 24-7.
5) Counseling
Providing counseling services can be both incredibly rewarding and extremely flexible. You'll help people, and you'll be able to schedule appointments at times that work for you. Programs that give you the training you need to become a counselor often offer flexible course schedules as well.
Balancing a career and a family isn't easy, but with the right career, it's a lot easier.
