Raquel Stewart of Tacoma, I 37, housecleaner

"The flexibility is the reason why I wanted to be an entre­preneur," says Stewart, who credits the autonomy of her work cleaning homes with helping her raise a now-teen­age daughter on her own 'I was home to make dinner t was able to take my daughter to school."

She also brought her teen to after-school and weekend jobs so the two could spend more time together and her daughter could learn the value of self­employment.
Stewart works as an inde­pendent contractor for Elaine's American Maid, an agency that subcontracts to struggling women. Besides paying its con­tractors what Stewart calls a "better-than-average wage," the agency encourages flex­time and teaches entrepre­neurship.
As her daughter nears adult­hood, Stewart is using new­found "me time" to expand her client base and write a book.
