My husband makes really good salsa. So good that people asked him he should professionally jar it and sell it. But we don't have the money to pay a commercial kitchen to produce it so we sell it to our friends and neighbors. The word has gotten out in our part of town now everybody wants it!! So that's one of the ways we make money.
My daughter does babysitting and she makes good money. So maybe babysit on the side? Maybe do a parents night out on a Saturday and have activities for the kids at your house or outside do a "camp out" and roast marshmallows etc? You can charge per kid. Do this maybe twice a month and you can be making some good money.
House sitting is popular right now in my neighborhood since a lot of people are going on vacation.
I got a flyer on my door the other day for dog sitting. She comes to your house twice a day to feed and walk your dog for a set rate.
Cleaning houses is also a good one. You can do it on Saturdays.
Hauling away stuff to Goodwill or the dump. You can do that for a fee if you have a pick up.
What I do is if my husband is doing a remodel or handyman work, many times his clients give him things they don't want like old furniture, etc and I put those on craigslist and sell them

First time I've seen someone advocating "a whor-at-home job" on these boards.

Hey, whatever works!

I also find the more I work the less time I have at home to spend money.
Where can I get a job like that?
