There are many families out there who need quality child care at
odd hours. So even if you work full-time during the week, you could

weekends, or even during occasional overnight hours.

Become a Virtual Assistant
What skills do you possess that make it easy
for you to do something that might take others
three or four times as long? Put those skills to
use as a virtual assistant. For example, a small
business owner might contract with you to
regularly develop and send their monthly
newsletter, or update their database.
