Help People Getting Things Done Around Their House.
Help people with services such as moving items, handyman jobs, organization, assembling furniture, cleaning, yard work, pick up and delivery, gardening, washing windows, removing snow, moving and packing, and much more. TaskRabbit, Craigslist, and TakL allow you to list your services and get family jobs gigs from an hour to a full day's work whenever you need the hours. My friend discovered a niche unclogging toilets as most people don't like this kind of dirty work. He charges $125 a visit for about ten minutes work, and he makes a living off this using a $40 toilet auger he bought from Home Depot.
Babysitting.
You can offer your services by setting up a profile through Sittercity.com or Care.com, and they'll connect you with families in your area. This is an easy way to make some extra cash a few nights a week, but be careful, folks can be touchy with their kids.
Care for Pets.
As more and more people are choosing to stay single and not have kids, pets are becoming surrogate children. Three-quarters of Americans in their thirties have dogs and fifty-one percent have cats. Overall in the USA, fifty percent of people have dogs and thirty-five percent have
cats. Pets are becoming a replacement for children and the multibillion-dollar pet industry has lots of niches to work in. You can walk dogs, offer daycare, grooming, boarding, house sit pets, host pet birthday parties, or do drop-in visits to pets in their homes while folks are on vacation or at work. Sites such as Wag! and Rover.com offer you a variety of ways to help people care for their pets. My family and I once made eight thousand dollars in one month pet sitting through these sites that allow finding family jobs.
As an add-on business, you can start a business as a dog groomer or a dog trainer and offer these services to your clients, or advertise them separately. This is a business with lots of potential for growth. Most of the pets can be a joy to be around, especially since most of them are well cared for and have been trained. However, just like people, pets can have off days, get into fights with one another, chew and damage your property, escape into your neighborhood, get ill, and even get homesick. Therefore this work is for people who spend a lot of time at home. These family jobs are best to do when you have a work-from-home job or are home studying for school.
Become a House Sitter.
You can get paid to watch people’s homes, gardens, and pets while they travel or work. As a bonus, you can live rent free staying at people’s homes who want someone to stay the night there to watch over their property. My friend signed up for this service and would take on several assignments at the same time. After his day job, he would drive his route visiting the homes he had agreed to drop in on, and then spend the night at the house he had agreed to spend the night at. You can sign up to be a house sitter at HouseSitter.com, TrustedHousesitters, Nomador, HouseCarers, and Housesit Match.
