Elder Care- With our aging baby boomer population, you will find more and more older adults looking for help. Whether it be cooking, cleaning, or just chauffeurs on the weekends, millions of people need part-time able body help in their homes.
Lawn/Handyman Care- This goes the same as above but sometime younger professionals need this type of care too. If you don’t mind getting sweaty and fixing and maintenance thing, this may be a good area for you.
Child Care- Thinking babysitting is just for grown ups? Try again. A lot of mothers and non-mothers will often make time available on their weekends to help take care of other people’s children. A lot of people are NOT quite in need of a nanny but would like to have someone available more than once a month to watch their children.
House Keeping- A lot of people can make extra money cleaning houses once a week for a friend neighbor or stranger. Most gigs pay between $35 and $75, depending on size of house, location, and animals. But if you can find one person you do cleaning for weekly or two you do it for every two weeks, think about the extra cash you could have!
Pet Sitting/Walking- This is a growing area, especially if you work from home or non 8 am to 5 pm hours. People especially in cities where housing is tight and compact are willing to pay decent wages for their pooch to get some daily exercise and playtime! If you love animals this is for you!
Serving/Bartender- Local restaurants and food delivery places are in high demand on the weekends and night shifts, see if you can pick up a few to make some extra dough, no pun intended!
Online Blogging/Writing/Surveys- Are you an online surfer. Do you like to take part in social media, survey and/or reviews, then get paid to do it. Companies need “testimonials” and new content all the time for their blogs and websites. Look to the web to find part-time writing jobs for some easy cash.
One-time event promotions and labor- Events are happening all around us and a lot of these traveling events hire in their local area for help with promotion and/or labor. Look to see what events (large and small) are coming to your area to see if they are hiring some temporary help!
Computer Set-up and IT support- There are a lot of baby boomers out there that need help with their PC and using the internet. things that may seem basic to you are services older Americans may be willing to pay you to help them learn or set-up. Post an ad or answer some local Craigslist posting to see if you can do what they need!
