I'm a teacher and I do this on weekends. I also tutor. It helps pay for things that have increased in price like food. My DS is in his first year of college so the extra money helps. |
Nice. Are you in the DMV? How much extra do you make? |
You could also consider doing Rover if you like dogs. |
How’s babysitting on the weekend any more work than parenting your own kids? |
Baltimore area. I charge $55/hr for tutoring and I usually tutor 2-4 times a week (with 1-2 of those sessions on weekends). If I babysit on Friday/Saturday night I charge $20-25/hr depending on how many kids. It’s easy money. |
I do this. I get 20-25 like the PP. I usually come over around bedtime (or when there's a younger kid asleep and the older one is in pjs), play for a little while, do the bedtime routine, and then hang out and read for a few hours until parents get home. I am selective about families and saying yes, I only work in my neighborhood, and I could easily make $500 a month if I pushed harder. For me it's probably around $200. |
