How NYC Parents Are Earning $4K/Month as Part-Time Insurance Brokers

In the hustle of New York City, balancing work and family can feel impossible โ€” especially for immigrant parents with young kids. But a growing number of NYC moms and dads are breaking the mold, earning over $4,000 a month by becoming licensed health insurance brokers. The best part? They do it part-time, on their own schedule, and often from home.

At SecureSafer Insurance, weโ€™ve helped dozens of parents โ€” from daycare drop-off to dinner time โ€” build careers that work around their families, not against them. Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, part-time teacher, rideshare driver, or full-time parent, this opportunity might be the flexible income youโ€™ve been looking for.

Meet Jasmine: Mom of 2 from Jackson Heights 

Jasmine was working retail nights and barely seeing her kids. She needed a change. After getting her New York Life & Health license in just a few weeks, she joined SecureSafer and started helping other parents get Medicaid, Essential Plan, or Marketplace coverage. With just a phone, laptop, and a quiet space during nap time, she now earns over $1,000 a week.

โ€œI book calls after school drop-off and during bedtime,โ€ she says. โ€œItโ€™s not easy, but itโ€™s mine.โ€

How Does It Work? A Day in the Life of a Parent Broker

Most SecureSafer brokers start their day between 9โ€“10 AM, after school drop-off. They log into their portal, check client leads, and follow up with people who need help applying for insurance. Many parents take Zoom calls during lunch or while kids are at school. Others work evenings once their kids are asleep.

Thereโ€™s no need for cold calls or door-to-door sales. Most clients are already looking for help with Medicaid renewals, Essential Plan questions, or Marketplace enrollments. The brokerโ€™s job is to guide them โ€” with empathy, accuracy, and care. We provide the training, the system, and the support. You bring your voice, your schedule, and your community.

Whatโ€™s the Pay Like? Can You Really Earn $4,000 a Month Part-Time?

Yes โ€” and many do. New York brokers are typically paid a commission per application submitted and approved. This includes Medicaid, Essential Plan, and Marketplace plans. You also earn renewals for clients who stay enrolled.

Most part-time brokers earn between $500โ€“$1,200 per week once theyโ€™re trained and consistent. Thatโ€™s roughly $2,000โ€“$4,800 a month โ€” and sometimes more during open enrollment.

๐Ÿ’ก Want a real example? One Bronx father we work with made $6,300 last December helping 40 families sign up for coverage. He did it working from home while caring for his newborn daughter.

No Sales Experience? No Problem. You Just Need Heart.

Weโ€™ve trained parents from all walks of life: Uber drivers, teachers, ESL tutors, barbers, and stay-at-home moms. You donโ€™t need a college degree or a background in sales โ€” just a desire to help your community, learn quickly, and follow a system.

โœ… SecureSafer provides:

  • Licensing guidance
  • Weekly broker training
  • CRM system with leads
  • Scripts and application walkthroughs
  • Bilingual support in Spanish, Bengali, Arabic, and more 

If you’re willing to show up, you can grow fast.

How Do You Get Licensed as a Broker in New York?

To sell health insurance legally, you need a New York Life, Accident & Health (LAH) license. The process takes about 2โ€“4 weeks and involves:

  1. Taking a 40-hour online course
  2. Passing a state exam
  3. Applying for your license through NIPR.com
  4. Getting appointed by a licensed agency like SecureSafer 

Many SecureSafer parents do this while working another job โ€” or while the kids are napping.

Need help with your license? We walk you through every step.

Can You Really Work Around Your Family Schedule?

Yes. Thatโ€™s the entire point. You choose your hours, your client load, and your schedule. Whether you want to take on 10 clients a month or 50, the system works with you.

Some of our brokers only work during school hours. Others do evenings and weekends. Many bring their laptops to the park, library, or co-working spaces in the Bronx or Queens. You donโ€™t need a full office โ€” just a quiet room, a good internet connection, and a mission to help.

Why NYC Parents Are Perfect for This Role

NYC is one of the most diverse cities in the world โ€” and parents know their communities better than anyone. You already speak the language, understand the struggles, and know how to explain complicated things simply. Whether itโ€™s explaining Medicaid renewals to another mom at school pickup or helping your neighbor apply for the Essential Plan, youโ€™re already doing the job โ€” you just havenโ€™t gotten paid for it yet.

Now is your chance.
