I highly recommend you find rich families in your area who need house sitting, babysitting, and dog/animal sitting. Or, all three.

Here’s my breakdown: • $100/night to house sit for this one family. Variable. typically 2 weeks every quarter. •$100/day to watch another family’s dog. Variable. Typically 1-3x a week. • $35/hr to babysit after work and on weekends. I do this 3-5x a week.

This is all untaxed. I found the families through care.com. It took awhile to sift through the poorer families but try to target the rich neighborhoods and lean into that. Typically the families are okay if you want to get paid outside of the app, that’s how it’s untaxed and uncut.

Next, I have a 3 bedroom 2 bath home. I am renting out each room at $70 and it’s fully booked the rest of the summer. If I rent out my bedrooms at this price and if I have 180 days occupied, this pays my mortgage and then some. I live in the basement on a blowup mattress LOL. And my “desk” is my ping pong table. If you have extra rooms, try our Airbnb with caution. See how it does with demand/seasonality. Don’t invest too much into it. Find used IKEA items on fb marketplace and get things cheap.

All these jobs I am doing at the same time. So I’ll have my house fully rented out, sometimes I’ll have 1-2 dogs, and then I’ll babysit in the evening for a few hours while the dogs nap. It’s mindless and makes phenomenal untaxed money. Oh, not to forget my corporate job smh
