Are you working to pay debt, starting a savings account, holiday fund, or a travel fund? Some people work a second job to increase income, while others work weekend side jobs because of assistance with childcare or other weekly duties.
There are plenty of side hustles; however, not everyone wants to work online, some might actually enjoy getting out and talking to others. There is a sense of enjoyment when you get up and have somewhere to go and something to do.
I’ve put together a list of local weekend side jobs to help you in your search.
Barista
A barista is someone who makes coffee. Coffee companies need many part time workers.
There are several coffee companies in every state. In my city, it appears as though coffee shops are on every corner. Look for Help Wanted signs to find out who is hiring!
Caretaker
Do you enjoy working with children or seniors? Look for weekend caretaker jobs and help loved ones take a break to run errands, work, or just have time to themselves.
Sites like Care.com and Snagajob help locate families in need of caregivers.
Cleaning
Cleaning services is another weekend side job that is perfect for weekends. One plus in starting a cleaning service is the fact that there is not a large expense to start.
Ask your friends and neighbors if they know of anyone who needs some added help around their house.
If you prefer to work for a cleaning service then look for cleaning companies near you who are hiring.
Dog Walker
Do you prefer working with animals over humans? Consider a job as a dog walker.
As a dog walker you could still have time to pick up other weekend side jobs and you will keep active by getting outdoors walking and playing with the animals.
Use Rover and Wag to help find local jobs.
Event Setup
Do you like being around lots of people on fun and memorable days? Then look for local event setup jobs at local concert venues, wedding venues, and banquet halls.
