Many years ago I used to tutor math for very good money. But now it seems that it's harder to get that gig with all the online companies etc.

But that's the best gig ever. Circa 2015 I sued to make $80/hour working 10 hours per week during the evenings and weekends...

Pet sitting/dog walking, adult caregiver, and tutoring have flexible hours so you can interview and a fairly high hourly rate. Tutoring pays more per hour than substitute teaching plus you work fewer hours and have daytime hours free to do a job search and interview.

If you have experience with infants, then you could be an overnight newborn nanny. You take care of newborns overnight so the mom can sleep. You have to be qualified though.

Good luck OP. I hope you get a good job soon.

It also takes forever to go through the hiring process. You won't be able to sub until next school year. I got rehired this year. I was a previous sub, former resource teacher and it still took FCPS 7 weeks from the time I submitted my stuff.
